Inspeks Coating

Hempel is a leading global coatings manufacturer founded in 1915, specializing in high-performance protective, marine, and decorative paints. They provide durable, corrosion-resistant solutions for energy, infrastructure, and shipping industries, as well as aesthetic coatings for buildings, aiming to make surfaces last longer and look better.

Hempadur Avantguard 550 is an activated, zinc-rich epoxy primer designed for superior, long-term corrosion protection of steel in highly corrosive environments (ISO 12944 C5 Very High). This fast-drying coating offers superior mechanical strength and self-healing properties, ideal for infrastructure, wind energy, and protective coatings

Hempadur Avantguard 750 is a two-component, activated zinc-rich epoxy primer designed for long-term corrosion protection of steel in severely corrosive environments, including offshore. It complies with ISO 12944 Part 5, 2018, and SSPC Paint 20, 2019 (Level 2, type II). It features high durability, crack resistance, and low VOC.

Anti-corrosion coating services apply specialized protective layers—such as epoxy, polyurethane, or zinc-rich coatings—to metal surfaces to prevent oxidation, rust, and chemical degradation. These services enhance structural durability in harsh industrial or marine environments, reducing maintenance costs through techniques like spraying or coating, ensuring superior adhesion

C4 and C5 are ISO 12944-2 corrosion classifications for high-performance coatings protecting steel in harsh environments. C4 covers high salinity/industrial areas with 15-25 year durability. C5 is for very high, extremely aggressive environments (marine/industrial) with >25 year expected life, requiring high dry film thickness. 

The Blotter Test (ASTM D4285) is a standard, mandatory on-site visual examination technique used to determine the presence of oil or water in compressed air lines. It is crucial for sandblasting and protective coating applications to prevent contamination that causes poor adhesion, coating failures, and premature corrosion.

Dry Film Thickness (DFT) is the measurement of a coating after it has cured, critical for ensuring corrosion protection, durability, and compliance with specifications, commonly measured in microns (

• ). ISO 2808:2019 defines methods for determining the film thickness of paints and varnishes, including wet, dry, and uncured powder layers.

The Bresle Method (ISO 8502-6 & 9) is a standardized field test used to measure soluble salt contamination on steel surfaces before coating application. It involves extracting salts using an adhesive patch (Part 6) and analyzing the solution's conductivity (Part 9) to ensure surface cleanliness, preventing premature coating failure.

ISO 8502-3 is a standard for assessing dust on steel surfaces prepared for painting, using a pressure-sensitive tape method. It tests the quantity and size of particles to prevent coating adhesion failure. The method provides a 1-5 rating system to compare against pictorial references for surface cleanliness.

Epoxy Zinc Rich Primer is a high-performance, two-component anti-corrosive coating containing 60-90% zinc dust by weight in the dry film. It provides cathodic protection, acting as a sacrificial anode to prevent rust on steel, particularly in harsh, marine, or industrial environments. Ideal for structural steel, bridges, and pipes, it ensures exceptional adhesion, toughness, and long-term durability.

Hempel’s Galvosil 15700 is a two-component, solvent-borne, self-curing inorganic zinc-rich silicate primer, designed for high-performance corrosion protection. It provides excellent galvanic protection against weathering and abrasion, making it ideal for structural steel, piping, and marine environments. 

Versiline CUI 56990 is a fiber-reinforced, single-component inorganic copolymer coating designed to protect steel from Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI). It withstands extreme temperatures from  to  (), thermal cycling, and wet/dry service. The MIO-pigmented, metallic dark grey coating acts as a durable, insulating barrier.
