Hempel’s paint that launched 1,000 ships
Global coatings manufacturer Hempel reports that it has applied its award-winning fouling defence coating, Hempaguard, to more than 1,000 ships of all different types, the milestone full-vessel coating having been achieved in April.
Hempaguard was launched in 2013 and uses the company’s patented Actiguard technology, which combines a smooth silicone coating with the consistent release of limited biocides through a hydrogel layer.
Global product manager Henrik Dyrholm comments: “Reaching this significant number of full vessel applications for Hempaguard in such a short time-period is a true testament to the value-added delivered by this innovative product. We have proven that Hempaguard delivers up to 6% fuel savings and retains its effectiveness during extended idle periods of up to 120 days.”
Hempel is exhibiting at Posidonia at stand no.3.411.
