As the need to control maintenance costs and manage Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) increases, leading coatings manufacturer, Hempel A/S, introduces the Hempatherm IC. 

Key messages：

• Hempatherm IC is Hempel’s first thermal insulation coatings system. 
•  
• The Hempatherm IC system possesses one of the highest film build capabilities in the market. 
•  
• Hempatherm IC 170 and Hempatherm IC 175 are used together as a coatings system, capable of replacing many conventional insulation systems for service up to 177°C, where CUI risks are most prevalent. 
•  
• The system is a hydrophobic coating containing Aerogel technology to prevent water ingress and retention on industrial assets, thereby maintaining thermal performance of the insulation and reducing carbon footprint. 
•  
• The Hempatherm system is a more sustainable solution, thanks to its long service life.
•  
• Maintenance of both the assets and the insulation system is faster and easier, yielding substantial cost savings.
•  
• The Hempatherm IC system addresses the critical challenge of energy conservation in industrial settings. 

The Hempatherm IC system at a glance:

• One of the highest film builds per coat of any insulation coating. 
•  
• Prevents water ingress and retention on insulated equipment, thereby eliminating the risk of CUI. 
•  
• Aerogel filler provides low thermal conductivity, capable of replacing many types of conventional mechanical insulation within the critical CUI temperature range, from - 25°C up to 177°C (350°F) .
•  
• Resistant to cyclic temperatures and fluctuations. 
•  
• Non-flammable formulation allows for safe application on hot surfaces for quick maintenance to ensure assets are kept in service with minimal disruption to operations. 
•  
• Inspections can be done visually as there is no hidden risk behind jacketing. Ease of installation with no requirement for handling metal jacketing. Can be applied over complex geometries. 
•  
• Prevents solar heat gain with minimum of thickness.
