Case Study 16: 20,000 Containers Painted with Hempel

ISG celebrates their 20,000 bulk mining containers being made. Concentrate, grain, bio-mass, fertiliser, moved from Pit to Ship for blue chip companies.

Congratulations Intermodal Solutions Group, it has been a fantastic journey we have taken together, from the very first unit. 20,000 times you have trusted our brand and services, it has been a very joyful collaboration. We are very proud to have supplied our coating system both exterior areas, but more importantly the interior areas with superior flexible though epoxy coatings – Hempadur Multi-Strength 45751 and Hempadur Conterior 47751 to all your mining containers produced over the last 8 years.  

• Designing a coating system for such heavy usage containers was not a standard job:
  • But listing to your varied operational requirements from all over the world
  • Keeping in mind the capabilities of the Chinese manufactures
  • Accepting the relative thin steel used and possible surface preparation
  • We landed on what we all know today was the right solution
  • All 20,000 units have performed above expectations

Thank you ISG for letting Hempel be your trusted partner.

Very best regards
