About Hempel

Hempel is a Danish coatings manufacturer with a long history in protective, marine and decorative paint systems. The company specialises in corrosion protection for steel and concrete, passive fire protection, marine antifouling coatings for shipping, and decorative finishes for architectural projects. Hempel maintains manufacturing and technical operations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, supporting the Gulf's oil-and-gas, petrochemical, infrastructure and marine sectors with locally produced coatings and on-site technical guidance.

Hempel product range

Hempel's range spans several generic coating families, each available in different grades and formulations depending on the substrate, exposure and specification:

• Protective epoxy coatings: high-build epoxy systems typically specified as intermediate or primer coats for steel and concrete structures requiring long-term corrosion resistance.
• Zinc-rich anti-corrosion primers: zinc-based primers commonly used as the first line of defence against corrosion on structural steel, tanks and pipelines.
• Intumescent fireproofing: passive fire protection coatings that expand under heat to insulate structural steel, typically specified for hydrocarbon and cellulosic fire scenarios.
• Marine antifouling coatings: hull coatings formulated to reduce fouling and drag on vessels operating in Gulf waters and regional shipping lanes.
• Decorative paints: interior and exterior architectural finishes for commercial and residential projects across the region.

Buyers should confirm the exact product code, grade and technical data sheet with a dealer before specifying, as formulations vary by application and project requirement.

Industries & applications in UAE

In the UAE, Hempel coatings are typically specified across industries where assets face sustained exposure to heat, humidity, and chloride- and sulphate-rich soils and groundwater. Common application areas include:

• Oil-and-gas and petrochemical facilities, where steel tanks, pipelines and structural steel require robust epoxy and zinc-rich systems to resist corrosion in coastal and desert conditions.
• Power and utilities infrastructure, where protective coatings extend asset life on structural steel exposed to industrial and marine atmospheres.
• Marine and shipping operations, where antifouling coatings are applied to vessel hulls operating along the UAE coastline and wider Gulf waters.
• Commercial and infrastructure construction, where intumescent fireproofing and decorative paints are specified for structural steel and building finishes.

These products fall within the broader paints and coatings category on ListGCC, where UAE buyers can compare Hempel alongside other coating brands available through regional suppliers.

Sourcing Hempel in UAE

UAE buyers generally source Hempel coatings through authorised dealers or regional industrial traders that stock or import Hempel product lines. Authorised dealers typically offer access to technical data sheets, application guidance and warranty-backed products, while traders may offer faster local stock availability for standard grades. Lead times vary depending on whether the required product and colour are held in regional stock or need to be ordered, so buyers should confirm availability and delivery timelines directly with suppliers.

When specifying Hempel coatings for a project, buyers typically reference the relevant technical data sheet and confirm compliance with project specifications and applicable regional standards, referencing frameworks such as ESMA / Emirates Conformity where relevant to the product category. It is advisable to request the current data sheet and confirm batch and grade details with the supplier before procurement, as product availability and specifications can change.
