International coatings manufacturer Hempel announced the launch of HEMPADUR 47300, a new NORSOK-approved epoxy mid-coat that can reduce drying times for offshore wind tower manufacturers by up to 25%, helping to drive down production costs. Specially formulated for offshore wind towers, HEMPADUR 47300 is a low-solvent epoxy mid-coat that offers vastly improved curing times for manufacturers. The coating can be handled just four hours after application at 20° C (68° F), compared to an average of five hours for standard equivalent coatings. This enables manufacturers to reduce production line bottlenecks and increase line speeds. HEMPADUR 47300 is approved and certified according to NORSOK M-501, System 1. It can be applied with airless spray and has a volatile organic compound content of just 190 grams per liter, which means very little VOC is released during application.
