market and which, in some cases, also serve its large transportation customer base.
“A few examples of the products we have launched in
the past year include the global launch of Alesta powder
coatings architectural product line and color collection,”
said Cash. “The Alesta Global Color Collection is designed
to provide assured long-term protection of monumental
architectural structures with an innovative color range.
We introduced the Alesta ZeroZinc next generation zinc-
free anticorrosion powder primers. Our Imron EY High
Productivity Basecoat and 8890S Clearcoat system for the
commercial vehicle market was added to the Imron family.
It is designed to improve throughput and reduce delivery
times by allowing for a shorter bake and provide customers
with options to meet production demands and save money.
Axalta SE6000 Scratch and Mar Resistant Clearcoat was
introduced and is designed to provide increased protection
within the high use sport vehicle markets where we have a
strong position today. The patented dual cure nature of the
chemistry allows for faster cure and improved hardness on
cool down, to enhance the overall protection while provid-
ing premium appearance.”
Sherwin-Williams has several new products that will be in-

Hempel has launched a number of new products recently.
AvantGuard technology is a new zinc technology that increases zinc activation to significantly improve the anti-cor-rosive performance and mechanical strength of the coating
without increasing zinc content. Activated zinc products are
specially designed for harsh environments. They provide increased corrosion protection and are easy to apply. As a result, they are redefining protection, redefining durability and
redefining productivity.
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a major challenge and
costs process industries significant lost revenue from down-
time, repeated maintenance and replacement of corroded parts.
“Versiline CUI uses carefully selected barrier pigments to make
it highly effective against corrosion under insulation, even under
cyclic conditions,” continued Moller. “In addition, its excellent
heat-resistant properties make it extremely resistant to micro
cracking, even when subjected to extreme temperatures, from
cryogenic (-196ºC) up to 650ºC.”
Another new product from Hempel is HEMPACORE intu-
mescent coatings. The product insulates structural steel so it can
retain its load-bearing capacity for up to two hours in a fire,
giving people valuable time to evacuate. CW
