Hempadur Avantguard 750

Description

Hempadur Avantguard 750 is an activated zinc-rich epoxy primer in compliance with the requirements of Level 2, type II in SSPC Paint-20, 2019 and ISO 12944 Part 5, 2018. The product is in full compliance with ASTM D520 type II and EU Directive 2004/42/EC, the Paints Directive on the limitation of volatile organic compounds: subcategory j.

Recommended use

Hempadur Avantguard 750 is recommended as a versatile primer for long-term protection of steel in severely corrosive environments including offshore.

The versatile activated zinc-rich primer

Avantguard 750, level 2 according to SSPC and zinc-rich in ISO 12944, outperforms conventional zinc-rich primers, making it ideal for a range of corrosivity environments and allows for special systems with just 40 microns of primer. Its superior performance also allows you to reduce typical system dry film thicknesses and achieve the required protection with a 2-coat system up to C5-H.

Superior steel protection with Avantguard

Outperform standard zinc-rich epoxies

In standard zinc-rich epoxies, the galvanic effect is limited to the 20-30 microns closest to the steel surface - they don’t fully utilise the zinc content. Avantguard is the first zinc-rich primer to fully activate the zinc content, boosting the galvanic effect. Avantguard 750 is the ideal candidate when a zinc-rich epoxy coating is required.
