Hempadur Avantguard 770

Description

Hempadur Avantguard 770 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 770 is recommended as a versatile primer for long-term protection of steel in severely corrosive environments. Particularly suitable for use in maintenance and offshore environments.

The best corrosion protection as an alternative to thermal spray metallization

Avantguard 770, Level 2 in SSPC and zinc-rich in ISO 12944, has improved surface tolerance properties to less than ideal surface preparation, making it the perfect choice for maintenance as well as new construction. It offers superior corrosion protection for extended durability in up to CX conditions and has suitable systems for splash zone areas (NORSOK 7A). As part of a 2-coat system it provides the same level of performance in offshore environments (CX) as conventional zinc epoxy 3-coat systems. Its anti-corrosive performance is on par with thermal spray metallization (TSM).

Superior steel protection with Avantguard

Enhanced corrosion protection

Avantguard is proven to deliver superior corrosion protection, even in the harshest of conditions. It will make your coating system last up to 50% longer, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

Protection for the harshest environments

Metal coatings offer the strongest galvanic protection recognized in the industry, but the surface preparation requirements make it susceptible to insufficient cleaning, and highly skilled applicators are needed to ensure the correct thickness is applied. Accelerated testing has proven the performance of Avantguard primers to be on par with TSM*. Due to its unique chemistry, Avantguard 770 can withstand the toughest industry challenges - without requiring the highest grade of abrasive blast cleaning or specialised application.

Suitable for repair and maintenance

The high surface tolerance of Avantguard 770 makes it suitable for new build, repair and maintenance projects. It’s suitability to being used as part of 2-coat system (even in harsh offshore environments) helps to further simplify your assortment and boost productivity. These 2-coat systems have been extensively tested in the field, so, you can rest assured that Avantguard will provide long-lasting protection for your steel structures.
