Hempel A/S has introduced Avantguard 750 Pro, the latest advancement in steel corrosion protection and a significant addition to the renowned Avantguard product family. Building on over a decade of patented Avantguard technology, this new solution reinforces the company’s commitment to sustainability and high-performance coating systems.
Avantguard 750 Pro offers unmatched corrosion resistance, even in the most demanding environments. Designed to exceed industry standards, the product is recommended for structures requiring corrosion protection beyond 35 years. Its enhanced durability helps significantly reduce CO2 emissions over the lifetime of steel assets.
Enhancing Steel Longevity and Sustainability
“We are excited to introduce a product that significantly increases the longevity of steel structures,” said Steen Niemann Madsen, executive vice president and head of energy and infrastructure at Hempel. “Globally, steel production generates approximately 2.8 gigatonnes of CO2 annually, accounting for 7-9 percent of total energy-related emissions. By improving steel durability, we can help the construction industry address critical environmental and economic challenges.”
Designed for new builds, repairs, and maintenance, Avantguard 750 Pro is a zinc-rich, high-solids primer that offers the lowest VOC content on the market.
“Avantguard 750 Pro optimises application time and boosts productivity due to its fast-drying formula and short overcoating intervals,” said Jose Fernandes, product manager for corrosion protection at Hempel. “Third-party tested for lean coating schemes, it reduces material consumption and improves competitiveness, enabling customers to lower their carbon footprint and VOC emissions while achieving superior results that exceed industry standards.”
Versatile Performance in Extreme Conditions
Engineered for maximum versatility, Avantguard 750 Pro cures at temperatures as low as -10°C [14°F], while maintaining exceptional tolerance to high humidity. The formula also provides outstanding crack resistance, even in complex geometries, reducing the need for rework and repairs.
With the launch of Avantguard 750 Pro, Hempel continues to push the boundaries of steel corrosion protection, delivering a solution that combines durability, sustainability, and performance.
