Hempel’s AvantGuard Wins Corrosion Innovation of Year Award

Hempel’s HEMPADUR AvantGuard® product range was named Materials Performance (MP) Corrosion Innovation of the Year for 2014 at the NACE Corrosion 2015 Conference and Exhibition.

HEMPADUR AvantGuard® activated zinc primers use unique AvantGuard® technology to protect industrial structures and equipment in C4, C5 and offshore corrosive conditions. They can be used in a range of industries and applications, from offshore oil & gas platforms to power plants and wind turbines. The product range won NACE’s MP Corrosion Innovation of the Year Award for 2014 in the Coatings and Linings category.

David Morton, Hempel’s Technical Director for Protective Coatings, said: “AvantGuard® technology is a step-change in anti-corrosive coatings and the award recognises that it can provide significantly better anti-corrosive performance than other technologies on the market.”
