CONROE, Texas, Nov. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Jones-Blair product range has returned to its roots after being part of the global Hempel brand for the last three years. Today, Hempel announced the return of its iconic Jones-Blair brand with a refreshed brand identity, logo, and website. 

Jones-Blair is broadly specified across Oil & Gas and Industrial markets and is recognized for high-performance, high-gloss, corrosion-resistant coatings. With over 90 years of proven performance in the field, Jones-Blair has been a trusted partner for owners and applicators.
