The challenge

To determine the application properties and efficiency of the new Hempafire Pro 315 Fast Dry in the field with expert applicators who are specifically used to handling and applying intumescent coatings.

The result

The customer was delighted during the trials, not only at the performance during application and subsequent time savings, but also with the high quality, professional finish.

The customer believes that working with Hempel and Hempafire Pro 315 Fast Dry will add to their offering, making them more competitive in the marketplace.

The main benefits were highlighted as faster drying times due to lower loadings, which lead to earlier overcoating and handling, as well as increased efficiency that resulted in significant time savings.

Hempafire Pro 315 Fast Dry covers all steel profiles, which negates the need to carry additional stock of other materials – another advantage that saves space, cost and time. All this makes Hempafire Pro 315 Fast Dry a very versatile and applicator-friendly intumescent coating.

The ease at which it applied and the finished aesthetic are just two of the features which will help make us more competitive in the market place.
