<strong>Fibre</strong>-based advantage<br />
for ballast tanks<br />
The new dimension in<br />
Adding fibres to different materials to<br />
boost both strength and flexibility is now a<br />
surface<br />
common practice in modern industry. <strong>Fibre</strong>-<br />
based materials are eminently suitable for<br />
uses that range from bulletproof vests and<br />
sports equipment to Formula 1 racing cars and spacecraft.<br />
However, Hempel is the first manufacturer to apply and optimise<br />
this technology to protective epoxy coatings. The new HEMPADUR<br />
FIBRE <strong>4760</strong> contains specially selected synthetic fibres that<br />
provide clear improvements in the overall performance of<br />
this unique coating, a fact clearly demonstrated in Hempel<br />
performance tests.<br />
The use of fibres in HEMPADUR FIBRE <strong>4760</strong> increases the<br />
tensile strength and flexibility compared with conventional epoxy<br />
coatings. It also cuts down on the risk of cracks occurring in<br />
ballast tank coatings, and therefore minimises any subsequent<br />
corrosion of the steel.<br />
HEMPADUR FIBRE <strong>4760</strong> represents a new level of ballast tank<br />
coating technology from Hempel.<br />
