Hempel Hempadur Zinc-Rich Primer 171CE: The Foundation of Durable Protection

In the demanding world of industrial and marine coatings, long-term corrosion protection is non-negotiable. Hempel Hempadur Zinc-Rich Primer 171CE stands out as a proven, high-performance solution engineered to safeguard steel structures from the harsh effects of the environment. Manufactured in Kunshan, this solvent-borne (oil-based) primer leverages the proven principle of cathodic protection, where zinc acts as a sacrificial anode to protect the underlying steel.

Key Features and Technical Advantages

Hempel's 171CE is more than just a primer; it's a critical first line of defense. Its formulation boasts a high volume solids content of ≥66±2%, which ensures a thicker, more protective dry film with fewer coats and reduced solvent emissions. The fast drying time of approximately 3 hours allows for quicker recoating and faster project turnaround, minimizing downtime.

One of its standout properties is its excellent water resistance, making it suitable for environments with high humidity or direct water exposure. As a non-hazardous chemical (under applicable regulations), it simplifies handling, storage, and logistics. Available in a standard Red Grey color (19830), it provides a reliable base for intermediate and topcoats within the Hempel systems.
