Hunter mentioned.
Furthermore, Hempel is committed to the sustainability of its raw materials . The company works closely with its suppliers to ensure that materials are less hazardous and come from sustainable sources.
For example, it has launched the zinc-based Avantgarde epoxy coating , which has exceeded all performance expectations, offering exceptional corrosion protection. As Hunter emphasizes, durability is essential for a truly sustainable solution, as it contributes to long-term resource savings.
The success story in Malaysia
Hunter also shared a real-life example of how the company has implemented its innovative solutions in a recent project with a major oil company in Malaysia. In this project, Hempel applied its insulation coating to a heat exchanger , comparing it to commercially available insulation. After one year of use, the product outperformed conventional insulation by 50%, achieving energy savings and solving the recurring problem of corrosion under insulation.
