for toughness thats tested to the core
All Hempacore coatings are tested extensively at our dedicated fire
protection R&D facilities. The fire protection performance is tested for up
to 2 hours under turbulent conditions where the fire temperature is over
1000C. We also go to great lengths to make sure that onsite conditions
and the effects of weather will never compromise the level of fire protection
the coating provides. Real-life scenarios are simulated by testing weathered
coating systems and profile sections that have loads applied. For weather
testing we for example test the products in cycles
with extreme temperature shocks across the range
-20 to 70, and where the relative humidity reaches
up to 95% (+/-5%). Application properties are also
tested in a broad range of climatic conditions.

Tested for fire, weather and application

to be consistent to the core

Our strict quality control system
ensures that Hempacore coatings
all over the globe conform to the
same high standards. All our
factories are ISO certified, and we
make sure that all raw materials
used are of the same high quality.
We follow strict internal and industry
guidelines for quality control at all Hempacore production sites to make
sure that the fire performance meet the requirements. This commitment
to consistency ensures that you always know precisely what you are getting.

WE MAKE THE APPLICATION

PROCESS EASIER
We strive to make the application process as simple
as possible for everyone involved. All our Hempacore
coatings are developed for easy application across a wide
temperature range, provide high performance with low
dry film thickness and have fast drying times. This means
less downtime due to recoating intervals and less labour
is needed to achieve the specified result. Whether applied
onsite or in-shop, Hempacore will make it easier to get
high-quality and long-lasting results.

for one core system

A broad range of our primers and topcoats are approved for use with our
Hempacore intumescent coatings, and this enables us to tailor make a
coating solution to fit any challenge. Having one supplier makes it easier for
you to get the ideal combination of the three, and you are always sure each
coating is fully compatible. With Hempel you always get high corrosion
resistance and passive fire protection with the desired decorative effect.
