International. The Hempel-Hempadur AvantGuard® product range has won the 2014 European Frost & Sullivan Award for New Product Innovation. The award, which will be presented on May 14 in London, recognises the products' ability to provide superior corrosion protection for iron and steel structures in harsh environments.
The coatings were developed to protect industrial structures and equipment in corrosive conditions C4 and C5, where salt water and high humidity corrode unprotected steel. They can be used in a range of industries and applications, from offshore oil and gas platforms to power plants and wind turbines.
The award recognizes the products' ability to deliver corrosion reduction, improved performance in extreme temperatures, and superior mechanical strength.
