Hempel launches Hempaline Defend vinyl ester lining range for tough industrial applications

Global coatings company, Hempel has launched its new Hempaline Defend vinyl ester range of linings. The linings are designed specifically for challenging applications – such as tanks, stacks, ductwork, flue gas desulphurisation units and secondary containment areas – where heavy-duty performance is critical to reducing corrosion and maximising production uptime.

The Hempaline Defend Vinyl Ester range is a comprehensive set of linings for the power and oil and gas markets. In the power generation industry the linings are used to protect the internal surfaces of flue gas desulphurisation units, ductwork, and stacks in wet and in dry environments. In the power generation and the oil and gas industry, the Hempaline range can be used as tank linings, as well as for the protection of concrete surfaces, such as secondary containment structures, from aggressive cargos. The launch of Hempaline means that Hempel can now offer customers a full range of products for internal and external protection.

Pernille Lind Olsen, Group Product Director, Protective Marketing commented: "There is increasing global demand for coatings for power plants and oil and gas facilities, which can protect valuable equipment in aggressive service environments.” ” Olsen continues, "The Hempaline Defend Vinyl Ester Lining assortment now provides our customers in South East Asia and the Middle East with a locally produced lining assortment offering a full range of solutions for these difficult conditions.”

The Hempaline vinyl ester linings range includes glass and mineral-flake filled coatings and fibreglass reinforced linings for specific applications.
