TRIPLE THREAT Avantguard 750 Pro is built upon more than a decade of Hempel’s patented Avantguard technology. “Hempel’s Avantguard technology stands out due to
its patented Triple Activation process, which enhances corrosion protection by activating all three methods: barrier eff ect, inhibitor eff ect, and galvanic eff ect,” Fernandes explains. “It combines zinc, hollow glass spheres and a proprietary activator in our unique patented technology. The result is superior corrosion protection with higher durability compared to standard zinc-rich primers.” This approach ensures improved durability and helps
to extend the lifespan of steel structures. “Additionally, Avantguard 750 Pro has been formulated with high solids content, resulting in lower VOC emissions, contributing to more sustainable solutions,” Fernandes adds.
EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS In particular, Avantguard 750 Pro is designed for the long- term protection of steel structures and equipment that operate in severely corrosive environments. The solution is therefore suited to a range of harsh environments, from protecting upstream and downstream infrastructure from critical conditions in the oil and gas industry to safeguarding onshore and off shore wind turbine towers against corrosion. The coating can also be applied within infrastructure
to ensure the longevity of bridges, civil structures and port equipment that may be exposed to aggressive elements, and within thermal power plants to maintain the integrity of steel structures subjected to high temperatures and corrosive agents. Meanwhile, the solution can off er enhanced protection to ship topsides in aggressive marine environments. “Avantguard’s versatility also makes it suitable for both
new constructions and maintenance projects, off ering excellent crack resistance even in complex geometries,” Fernandes adds.
WEIGHING THE BENEFITS As Fernandes explains, Avantguard 750 Pro off ers several long-term benefi ts across a wide range of industries. One such advantage is extending asset lifespan: “Prolonged protection reduces the need for frequent maintenance and replacements, ensuring continuous operation and fl exibility,” he says. Improved cost eff iciency is another benefi cial factor, he
continues: “Lower maintenance requirements and extended intervals between repairs result in reduced operational costs over time.” Environmental sustainability is also an advantage, as
the decreased need for steel production and maintenance activities could lead to a reduction in CO2 emissions and resource consumption. Additionally, the coating’s ability to cure at temperatures as low as -10°C and its tolerance to high humidity during application allow for year-round application in diverse environmental conditions. Fernandes adds: “These advantages collectively enhance
the performance, sustainability and profi tability of operations across sectors such as oil and gas, renewable energy and infrastructure.”
