Trusted in
challenging
environments
Hempel was founded in 1915 and is today one of
the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of
high-performance, protective linings. Hempaline Defend
is Hempel’s dedicated speciality lining brand for the
most challenging environments.
Hempaline Defend provides high performance lining
solutions for the aggressive environments found in
the oil & gas and chemical industries. Our linings offer
superior protection against corrosion, high temperature,
extreme abrasion and a wide range of chemical and
solvent materials.
Here at Hempel we recognise the need to fully understand
the process conditions we are looking to protect
against. Before making any recommendation we seek to
understand the service environment, considering such
factors as temperature, pressure, pH swings and cleaning
processes, to ensure the best chance of lining success.
Our Hempaline Defend Linings are frequently used for
internal protection of storage tank bottoms, process
vessels, acid tanks and secondary containment areas.
Hempaline Defend helps you to increase profits from
your assets by maximising uptime through longer service
and reduced maintenance, whilst minimising disruption
with our fast return to service systems.
We combine our extensive knowledge of your particular
business with a focus on the linings challenges you face.
This allows us to provide you with trusted lining solutions
to extend the life cycle of your assets.
