CONROE, Texas — Hempel USA’s HEMPAGUARD® has won Shipping Efficiency’s Environmental Technology Award. HEMPAGUARD is based on Hempel’s patented ActiGuard® technology. ActiGuard integrates silicone-hydrogel and full diffusion control of biocides in a single coating.
Claes Skat-Rørdam, Hempel fouling control manager, said, “We are proud and delighted HEMPAGUARD has been recognized by the expert judges on the Shipping Efficiency award panel as an environmental leader. HEMPAGUARD is a completely new technology that combines the best of both worlds: the smooth, fuel-efficient surface from silicone coatings and the durable protection against fouling known from anti-foulings.”
