Dear Reader,

This Winter 2013 edition of Hempel Protective’s newsletter reaches you at a time when the world continues to witness significant upheaval and change in many corners of the planet. As econom-ic indicators define the creation of new trends, Hempel, a global player in the paint and coatings sector, continues to meet those new challenges with enthusiasm and success through its “One Hempel – One Ambition” policy.2012 was the year Hempel rolled out the first in its new range of state-of-the-art intumescent coatings for the passive fire protection of steel structures. HEMPACORE ONE 43600, and the fast-drying version, HEMPACORE ONE FD 43601, have been developed by our new R&D facility in Barcelona to add greater flexibility to the already extensive Hempel range by offer-ing a highly efficient, one-component paint that affords both corrosion and fire protection in a single product. This significant milestone for Hempel takes full advantage of the Group’s ex-tensive experience to provide up to 120 minutes fire retardation, more than sufficient to cover

practically the entire market, where standard re-quirements are for 60 minutes protection. More details about this exciting development can be found on page 4. Another innovation Hempel brought onto the market in 2012 is a new solvent-free epoxy coating especially designed to withstand high-temperature liquid cargoes. On page 8, you can read how Hempel’s Oil & Gas segment identi-fied the need for our HEMPADUR 35900 coat-ing, specifically designed and recommended for lining the interior of tanks, pipelines, etc. that carry crude oil, water and produced water at temperatures of up to 93°C/200°F and the success it has had in trials in real-life scenarios in the Oil&Gas industry.Hempel continues to be actively involved in numerous large-scale projects across Europe, protecting the valuable assets in a multitude of sectors, such as the Sundsvall Bridge on the European Union’s new E4 highway in Sweden (page 9). In that regard, the outstanding perfor-mance of Hempel’s coatings for the wind tur-bine sector has earned the Company the pres-tigious Frost & Sullivan Award (page 10). We trust you will also be interested to read on page 11 about the ongoing Trinity Square pro-ject in Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, a further ex-ample of how Hempel continues to be the ref-erence supplier of durable protective coatings both at home and across the globe.These are just a few of the feature articles in this latest edition of HEMPEL NEWS. We hope you will enjoy reading it.From all of us here at Hempel, we wish you a very happy and successful 2013.

TOPIC | HEMPACORE ONE

HEMPACORE ONE 43600 & HEMPACORE ONE FD 43601– core protection for overall peace-of-mind

They are one-component, solvent-borne, acrylic coatings that provide up to 120 minutes’ protection in cellulosic fires – HEMPACORE ONE is designed for on-site

application, while the very fast-drying HEMPACORE ONE FD is specified for off-site application. With these two products, customers, who traditionally have chosen

Hempel for the superior corrosion protec-tion and application benefits of our prim-ers and topcoats, can now obtain the full solution from the same trusted supplier.

Both HEMPACORE ONE and HEMPACORE ONE FD are approved to European stand-ards EN 13381-8 and DITE according to ETAG018-2 and can be used indoors without a topcoat or in exposed outdoor conditions with a suitable Hempel topcoat. As always, Hempel Coating Advisers are available to recommend and overview the best system for any project. HEMPACORE ONE provides a high volume sol-

ids, white-coloured, low VOC, high-performance product with short drying times of 35 minutes to touch and 8 hours to handle. HEMPACORE ONE FD offers the same performance with even faster drying times (20 minutes to touch and 6 hours to handle), which is instrumental to speeding up shop turnaround times and thus cutting project implementation costs drastically.

These new Hempel coatings take their name from the 3 CORE benefits they provide : the Durability that goes into all Hempel steel coat-ings to minimise the effects of harsh weather and abrasions; the Efficiency that has become the hallmark of Hempel’s technical service at customers’ disposal 24/7; and the Flexibility provided by Hempel’s product range that ena-bles you to meet all the challenges.

HEMPACORE ONE and HEMPACORE ONE FD are just the first in Hempel’s new range of high-performance intumescent coatings for passive fire protection of steel structures to be developed at the purpose-built R&D centre in Barcelona and key to the company’s vision of « One Hempel – One Ambition »

HEMPADUR 35900 is a two-component, high-build, amine-cured phenolic epoxy that is completely solvent-free and releases prac-

tically no VOCs into the atmosphere during application, thus ensuring it complies with ex-tremely strict US environmental regulations,

which in turn are gradually being demanded by other countries around the globe.Kunal Nadkarni, Hempel’s Group Oil & Gas Segment Manager, explains: “As oil compa-nies drill deeper, their need to handle high-er-temperature crude oil increases. Crude oil that’s deep underground can reach tem-peratures up to 90°C, but ordinary coatings can’t handle these temperatures and the subsequent damage to the tank could result in cargo contamination. That’s why we devel-oped HEMPADUR 35900”.HEMPADUR 35900 has been optimised for fast and simple application using airless spray or brush (touch-up). It provides a very high dry film thickness and can be typically used as a system of 600 microns or on top of a 50 mi-cron coat of Hempel’s holding primer 85671 (table 1). The cream-coloured, semi-gloss finish dries to touch in 12 hours and is fully cured in 7 days at 20°C, affording excellent corrosion protection and abrasion resistance for tanks and pipelines carrying high tempera-ture crude oil and water.

Cargo Name: Di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate

Work commenced in spring 2011 on the Stock-vik-Skönsberg stretch of the E4 European Route project in Sweden that includes the construction of 33 different bridges. A specific Hempel sales and R+D team in Germany and Sweden came together under German leadership to design and implement the supply of 170,000 litres of coating materials for the new Sundsvall Bridge, the 2,109 metre flyover spanning the Sundsvall Fjörd at a height of 33 metres due to open to traffic in autumn 2015.

The prevailing environment in Sundsvall is DIN EN ISO 12944 classed as C5M-high Marine atmosphere with wet, saline sea air, severe weather variability and sub-zero temperatures in winter. The Swedish authorities awarded the order to the joint venture “Sundsvallbroen PBM” (PBM = Arge partner: E. Pihl & Son, Max Bögl, Josef Möbius AG). For Max Bögl GmbH & Co. KG, Germany’s largest private steel construc-tion firm, this represents the company’s biggest bridge construction project to date. Amongst other references for the project is Strelasund Bridge, Stralsund, which is also in the Baltic Sea and painted with Hempel.

For exposed bridge structures, the system being used is a shop-applied 3-coat system based on a zinc-rich primer of HEMPADUR PRO ZINC 1738G, followed by a two-component mineral iron oxide coat of HEMPADUR MASTIC 4588F, and finally a high-solid PUR-Topcoat of HEM-PATHANE 55610 tinted to RAL 7037 dust grey. This system is NORSOK M-501 certified and pro-vides fast-curing, high-performance, permanent protection for harsh weather-exposed steel. In accordance with Norsok standards Hempel has a proven track record for protecting off-shore wind turbines and oil & gas platforms erected in similarly aggressive environments all over the world, as well as an important differentiating factor, in that the Hempel system calls for just one intermediate coat and therefore represents faster turnover in the production shop.

For inside, unexposed bridge parts, a single layer of HEMPEL’S 457DE two-component, polyure-thane coating with zinc phosphate is used. A se-cond NORSOK certified system, comprising an aluminium pigmented primer and intermediate coat of HEMPADUR MASTIC 4588W, covered by a topcoat of RAL 7037 tinted HEMPATHANE 55610, is being supplied on site in Poland and Sweden for pre-assembly and assembly parts

and repairs. This two-component, polyurethane topcoat provides good gloss and colour retenti-on to ensure that the bridge continues to display the full merits of this feat of international engi-neering for many years to come.

Hempel’s Cargo Protection Guide is a free-to-access, online tool that represents the ultimate online software for deter-mining carriage of a wide range of products and chemicals in Hempel coated tanks. Fully developed by Hempel, this simple-to-use, comprehensive website is the culmination of the company’s vast knowledge regarding the resistance of tank coatings to products, chemicals and foodstuffs stored in coated tanks of product and chemical tankers.

TOPIC| Hempel’s Cargo Protection Guide

Hempel’s Cargo Protection Guide

"The outcome of a user's search is a list of over 3,000 different entries corresponding to thousands of different products and chemi-

cals, and including the chemical formula, common name, United Nations number, MARPOL category, and ship type where ap-

plicable. Also included is an indication of Hempel's most suitable tank coating product for that particular chemical and the relevant parameters for its use:"

But before running a search, users are first given explicit notes and explanations in the Introduction and Notes sections that de-scribe the parameters and categories used in the table to define the best product in each case.Simple English is used with the aid of sym-bols to explain the importance of pH, inert gases or tank cleaning, as well as MAR-POL pollution categories, IMO ship types or chemical resistance categories. For exam-ple, resistance is categorised as shown in the table below:

Knowing what information is available, the User can search the database to ascertain or confirm which Hempel tank coating is most appropriate for a particular task. Alter-natively, the User can select just one prod-uct to check whether a tank lined with that coating is apt for a certain chemical.Hempel presents its three cargo coating systems on the website, namely HEMPEL’S GALVOSIL 15700, HEMPADUR 15500 and HEMPADUR 15400. HEMPEL’S GALVOSIL 15700 is a solvent-borne zinc silicate which cures to a purely inorganic film that is fully resistant to most

organic solvents and generally allows close cargo sequencing. However, its suitability is limited for extreme acids or alkalis and the pH value of the cargo must be between 6 and 9. Thus, it is the typical choice for tanks carrying pure solvents such as benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, methanol and chlo-rinated hydrocarbons, or mixtures of them. HEMPADUR 15500 is an amine-cured, phe-nolic epoxy that can be post-cured by heat-ing to obtain the highest possible resistance. The post-cured phenolic epoxy is resistant to the majority of cargoes and generally allows for short cargo sequencing. It also complies with FDA requirements for tank linings in con-tact with foodstuffs. Its limitation is strong-ly acidic cargoes such as mineral acids. HEMPADUR 15500 is the natural choice when the broadest possible resistance and a close sequence of cargoes are required.HEMPADUR 15400 is an amine-cured epoxy coating with excellent resistance to solvents, except those with the lowest boil-ing point. Furthermore, it has quite good resistance towards inorganic cargoes such as alkalis and fertiliser solutions, making HEMPADUR 15400 the typical choice for tanks carrying oil and oil-based products, fats, certain fertilisers and caustic soda, for example.

The entire list of results can be downloaded in PDF format, as can an individual sheet for each chemical that indicates the relevant pa-rameters for all 3 Hempel coatings: e.g.

The list of chemicals and foodstuffs in Hempel’s Cargo Protection Guide provides the user with the most up-to-date and relevant information avail-able regarding the protection afforded by each coating. The list also shows clearly when none of the products is apt for a certain chemical. All the information contained in Hempel's Cargo Protection Guide is based on extensive labora-tory testing and field experience and as such is believed to be correct. Nevertheless, Hempel em-phasises that the performance of any tank coat-ing system depends on the carriage of cargoes in conformance with this Cargo Protection Guide, and proper application of the coating in accord-ance with "Hempel's Technical Standard for Tank Coating Work".http://webapp.hempel.com/hempelcpg

TOPIC | Gateshead project UKTOPIC | Wind Deal Of The Year

Hempel protects the “Wind Deal of the Year”The erection of one of Europe’s most technically challenging offshore wind projects is continuing 90 kilometres off the German North Sea coast. The Global Tech I field will comprise 80 wind turbines standing on tripod foundations in waters 38-41 metres deep and will generate 1,600 MW - enough to power 475,000 households. Connection to the national grid will take place later this year and final completion of the field is due in 2013.

While the young offshore wind sector is grow-ing fast, contractors carry a huge responsibili-ty in the face of keen public scrutiny, financing restrictions and the urgency to deliver before alternative power plants are shut down. They, therefore, only rely on experienced and suc-cessful suppliers such as Hempel.

Standing in an offshore environment, the Global Tech I turbines have to withstand long-term exposure to high-salinity moisture, in-tensive UV light, fierce wave action and high corrosive stress, all conducive to widespread, rapid corrosion. Accordingly, Hempel’s Advis-ers recommended our customised system for offshore structures, designed to meet the environmental standards of both NORSOK M501 and ISO 12944 and to provide service up to the first maintenance, typically sched-uled for a minimum of 15 years.

For this project, the coating system recom-mended on-site by Hempel’s Technical Ser-vice calls for a minimum of 600 µm dry film thickness for the tripod foundations (outside) and for minimum 320µm dry film thickness for the towers (outside, ISO 12944). The tri-pods are given three coats of HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 45753 and a topcoat of HEMPATHANE HS 55610, tinted to RAL 1023 Traffic Yellow in compliance with Mari-time Authority requirements.

The towers are coated with HEMPADUR ZINC 17360 primer followed by HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880 and a topcoat of HEMPATHANE HS 55610.

HEMPADUR MULTI-STRENGTH 45753 is a heavy-duty paint that cures to a long-term, corrosion-resistant coating in areas exposed to harsh offshore climatic conditions.

HEMPADUR ZINC 17360 is a zinc-rich epoxy primer that provides a hard-wearing, weather-resistant coating in severely corrosive envi-ronments.

HEMPADUR MASTIC 45880 is a high solids, epoxy paint with low VOC and high film build. It forms a tough and highly versatile film and is especially suitable when extended recoating in-tervals for polyurethane topcoats are required.

HEMPATHANE HS 55610 is a polyurethane topcoat for severely corrosive atmospheric environments, maintaining excellent light-fastness and colour retention for extended periods of time.

Hempel is naturally proud to be participating in this project, which was awarded the “Wind Deal of the Year” distinction in January 2012.

Hempel protectsGateshead supercentre

GATESHEADCITY

Something grand is happening in the North-East English town of Gateshead – a 150 million pound project that involves constructing 45 retail outlets, a Tesco Express superstore, a Health Centre, new accommodation for 993 Northumberland Univer-sity students and one of Europe’s most modern cinema complexes with 3D technology and wall-to-wall screens. And Hempel is extremely proud to be part of this exciting project.Already home to one of Europe’s largest shopping malls - the MetroCentre - the town of Gateshead stands on the banks of the River Tyne opposite New-castle and linked to it by several bridges, including the most recent Millenium Bridge.

The new Trinity Square project by Tesco property development subsidiary, Spenhill, will herald the creation of a new central town square surrounded by a host of amenities that are bound to become the envy of many. As with any project of this size, the statistics are staggering: e.g., the amount of steel used on the Trinity Square project is enough to build both the Tyne Bridge and the Swing Bridge connect-ing Gateshead and Newcastle … steel that is being protected with HEMPADUR FAST DRY 17410.

HEMPADUR FAST DRY 17410 is a high-build, epoxy paint containing zinc phosphate with a rela-tively high volume solids content that can be used

for both shop and on-site application. One of its most notable features is its extremely fast drying time (to touch in 1.5 hours at 20°C), which was a significant factor for choosing a Hempel product. « The quick drying characteristics of the product performed better than our competitors, thus enabling William Hares to move the steel work quicker and giving them a better through-put » explains Hempel’s on-site Coating Adviser to the project. « The availability of the product was also paramount to the project, with tight deadlines in place during the fabrication and painting process. Our service commitment and ability to deliver when needed was a major factor in gaining the project. »The main construction of the Gateshead Trinity Square project is due to be completed in Spring 2013.
