About Hempel

Product Development

Great coating solutions take effort and inspiration, and Hempel invests heavily in product development in order to ensure our customers always have the best coating solutions.

A focus on quality
We have stringent quality demands to ensure we deliver high-performing, environmentally safe products and solutions. All new products are tested thoroughly in our three in-house test facilities, and by external test institutes, according to international standards, including panel preparation, test procedures and evaluation.

Highlights from our research and development team include:

  1. Power generation in extreme environments

    Power generation installations, such as wind turbines or nuclear plants, require complex coatings solutions. Our state-of-the-art solutions have been proven to provide long-term protection against corrosion, even in the most challenging environments. 

    This includes a two-coat UHSS (Ultra High Solid Speed) system, which reduces the number of coats required on wind towers, helping increase production speed and reduce VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions by 50%.

  2. Fouling control to reduce fuel bills for ship-owners

    Marine organisms, such as barnacles and algea, attach themselves to ships hulls, causing extra drag and increasing the amount of fuel needed to propel the ship through the water. Our industry-leading antifouling coatings can protect surfaces from marine organisms and reduce fuel consumption for up to 7.5 years.

    Many of our customers are now using our patented, award-winning Hempasil X3. A biocide-free fouling release coating, Hempasil X3 offers exceptional fuel-saving properties and so can help ship-owners significantly reduce fuel bills and associated CO2 emissions.
