Coatings for metal - Hempel Coating Consultancy
Hempel has long recognised that providing quality paints is just one part of the total coating solution. To ensure that the paint performs correctly, the surface to be protected must be properly prepared, and the paint must be properly applied using the right techniques and equipment. And naturally, the choice of the coating system itself is always of key importants. Coordinating these activities and making the right decisions calls for a high level of experience and skill. That's why so many of our customers call in a professional Coating Adviser from Hempel.

Coating Advisers - coatings for metal
Hempel has a total of more than 400 highly qualified Coating Advisers worldwide, operating through our extensive network of local and site offices. Most of our Coating Advisers have been trained by Hempel in protective coating technology. Of equal importance, our Coating Advisors also have extensive industry-specific background knowledge so they "speak the same language" as our customers - no matter whether they are shipowners, bridge-builders, or petrochemical operators. Thanks to our ongoing efforts to educate our staff, Hempel has since 1996 certified close to 200 Coating Advisers either as NACE or FROSIO inspectors.

Surprisingly, the cost of inspection is very low in comparison with the cost of the whole project. Even so, the use of the right quality of coatings combined with professional inspection of application during different stages of the project can have a major impact on the project by keeping costs down and extending the useful lifetime of the system.

HEMPEL's protective coatings cover a wide range of applications in the industrial world. The field of activity includes structures as diverse as offshore constructions, wind turbines, bridges, rail cars and petrochemical plants.

The starting point and the basis for the proposed solution will always be the client's requirements - there is no "one size - fits all".

HEMPEL's global presence allows them to offer both global and regional approaches to coating requirements. HEMPEL operates with a global assortment, which means that the products are available from all major HEMPEL stock points. This means that a uniform standard can be used world wide.

This website only deals with products from the global assortment.

"Thinking ahead" is HEMPEL's everyday job in "Research & Development", in order to foresee the product needs and requirements today and in the years to come of our customers around the world. HEMPEL is conscious of the environment locally and globally. It is their policy to ensure product compliance with all relevant international and local Health, Safety and Environmental regulations, and supplement them with own internal standards if and when necessary.

"Peace of mind" is e.g. generated in our newly opened Innovation Centre, where all Products are extensively tested to determine the performance of each and every product and coating system. On this basis HEMPEL is able to "protect valuable assets" and specify coating systems "providing pro-active protection" of steel structures around the globe.
