Deep within the cramped, humid, and hard-to-reach confines of ship compartments, corrosion silently undermines structural integrity. Traditional coating solutions often demand rigorous surface preparation and strict climate control—requirements that prove nearly impossible in real-world conditions. Now, a breakthrough product promises to overcome these limitations while delivering reliable protection even in the most challenging environments.
Exceptional Performance in Extreme Conditions
The newly introduced Hempadur EM 35740 represents a significant advancement in marine coating technology. This ultra-high solids, low-VOC epoxy formulation features unique self-priming properties and unprecedented tolerance for imperfect surface conditions, redefining maintenance efficiency for steel structures.
Engineered to perform reliably in humidity levels up to 100%, the coating maintains strong adhesion even with limited surface preparation. This exceptional adaptability makes it particularly valuable for ballast tanks, deck areas, and other maritime applications where comprehensive surface treatment proves impractical—especially beneficial for onboard maintenance and spot repairs.
Operational Efficiency Through Rapid Curing
Recognizing that downtime translates directly to financial losses, the product's rapid-cure formulation allows recoating after just eight hours at 20°C (68°F). This accelerated turnaround minimizes operational disruptions while maintaining protective performance.
Environmental and Economic Advantages
The ultra-high solids composition delivers multiple benefits: significantly reduced VOC emissions comply with tightening environmental regulations while creating healthier workspaces. The concentrated formula also means less material is required to achieve specified film thicknesses, lowering overall project costs.
Simplified Application Process
By eliminating the need for separate primer coats in most situations, the self-priming characteristic streamlines application procedures. This not only reduces material expenses but also mitigates risks associated with primer incompatibility issues.
