(Insulation & Corrosion) Development of Novel Epoxy Closed-Cell Foam for Personnel & Corrosion Prote

Industrial assets operating at 140 °F or above may be thermally insulated to prevent plant operators and personnel from experiencing skin burns after accidental touches. Insulation, however, increases the risk of the underlying substrate of suffering from corrosion. Typical insulating systems should consist of three components for a comprehensive and effective insulation strategy: high quality corrosion resistance coatings, absorbent insulation materials, and both effective and durable weather barrier or jacketing.

Industrial assets operating at 140 °F or above may be thermally insulated to prevent plant operators and personnel from experiencing skin burns after accidental touches. Insulation, however, increases the risk of the underlying substrate of suffering from corrosion. Typical insulating systems should consist of three components for a comprehensive and effective insulation strategy: high quality corrosion resistance coatings, absorbent insulation materials, and both effective and durable weather barrier or jacketing. Another alternative is the use of insulating organic coating systems which can provide personnel protection and corrosion resistance. This paper introduces a novel, two-component, solvent-free modified epoxy phenol Novolac resin-based polymeric closed-cell foam for corrosion protection combined with thermal and cool-to-touch insulating properties. Design considerations of such a material, fitness-for-service testing and results are presented. Potential application areas and benefits including ease of use, worksite personnel and corrosion under insulation protection are also discussed.
