Hempel A/S has introduced Avantguard 750 Pro, the latest innovation in steel corrosion protection and a groundbreaking addition to the successful Avantguard family. Building on 10+ years of Hempel’s patented Avantguard technology and proven track record, this new solution reaffirms the company’s dedication to sustainability and high-performance coating systems.
Avantguard 750 Pro delivers corrosion resistance, even in the harshest environments. Designed to exceed the current standards, the product is recommended for structures to achieve corrosion protection beyond 35 years. This improved durability significantly reduces CO2 emissions over the lifetime of steel assets.
“We are excited to introduce a product that significantly increases the longevity of steel structures,” says Steen Niemann Madsen, Executive Vice President and Head of Energy and Infrastructure at Hempel. “Globally, steel production generates approximately 2.8 gigatonnes of CO2 annually, accounting for 7-9 per cent of total energy emissions1. By improving steel durability, we can help the construction industry address critical environmental and economic challenges.”
Designed for new build, repairs and maintenance, Avantguard 750 Pro is a zinc-rich, high-solids primer offering the lowest VOC content on the market.
“Avantguard 750 Pro optimises application time and boosts productivity due to its fast-drying formula and short overcoating intervals,” explains Jose Fernandes, Product Manager for Corrosion Protection at Hempel. “Third-party tested for lean coating schemes, it reduces material consumption and improves competitiveness, enabling customers to lower their carbon footprint and VOC emissions while still achieving superior results that exceed industry standards.”
Engineered for versatility, the formula cures at temperatures as low as -10°C [14°F] while also providing exceptional tolerance to high humidity. In addition, it provides excellent crack resistance, even in complex geometries, minimising the need for rework and repairs.
With Avantguard 750 Pro, Hempel continues to set new benchmarks in steel corrosion protection, offering a solution that combines durability, sustainability and performance.
