A high-performance, chemical resistant, two-component epoxy coating, Hempadur 15600 is designed specifically for floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) cargo tank protection. The coating is compliant with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Performance Standard for Protective Coatings (PSPC). It provides excellent resistance to continuous immersion in hydrocarbons, including crude oil up to 90˚C/194˚F.
Maurice Steijger, Group Offshore Manager, Hempel A/S, said, "Hempadur 15600 is an important part of Hempel's range of high-performance coatings for cargo tank protection within the offshore oil and gas industry. It offers the application benefits of a pure epoxy coating with the corrosion protection and temperature resistance of an epoxy phenolic coating. It is particularly suitable for FPSO contractors and owners specifying coatings for their cargo and slop tanks.
