Pipelines
& Anti-Corrosion
Drawing
on knowledge of the difficulties experienced primarily in
the water, oil and gas industries in guaranteeing durable
protection for pipelines, and supported by research undertaken
by some of the world’s leading oil companies, Flexcrete
Technologies Limited has perfected thin film cementitious
coating technology specifically designed to respond to industry
demands.
This is a major advancement in coating technology, incorporating
the benefits of copolymer and epoxy resin chemistry into
water-based cementitious systems, suitable for application
in the most demanding environments, providing tough, long-term
protection of steel. These ‘stand alone’ products are applied
direct
to ferrous metals, chemically reacting
to provide anti-corrosion protection. They cure to form
a dense barrier to keep out the fuels for corrosion without
the need for a special priming system. The properties achieved
include ultra low permeability and diffusion resistance
to oxygen and other gasses whilst creating a barrier to
the ingress of chlorides.
This technology is not, however, confined to corrosion protection
for steel pipelines. Given that the formulations are cement-based,
a homogeneous bond is achieved to concrete surfaces, making
it the ideal choice for the protection of precast concrete
sections which may otherwise be susceptible to damaging
corrosion of the reinforcement or pre-stressing wires.
Cemprotec E942 has significant advantages over conventional
pipeline coatings, such as fusion bonded epoxies, three-layer
polyolefins and liquid epoxies (including coal tar). |
