Protective Coatings Specified to Last
Projects no matter the need
Corrosion protection
Our range of high-performance protective coatings is designed to protect structural assets from weather and harsh conditions.
Passive fire protection
Our selection of intumescent coatings is designed to help steelwork maintain its load-bearing capacity in the event of a fire.
Protective coating cases from the Middle East
In the Middle East, harsh environmental conditions pose challenges for construction durability.
Engineers must counteract corrosive elements like high temperatures, humidity, salt spray, and chloride-rich soils to ensure structures' longevity.
At Hempel, we possess extensive experience in the Middle East, offering inspiring case studies that provide valuable insights for similar projects.
