Three layer polypropylene (3LPP) pipeline coatings failed prematurely in the oilfields of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A failure investigation and analysis into this phenomenon was instigated. The coating disbondment has been found to be due to high residual stress concentration and adhesion loss.

This paper explores room temperature and low temperature properties of epoxy intumescent PFP coatings. Tensile properties and adhesion values down to –40°C were measured and will be discussed. Comparison between flexible, tough PFP coatings and hard, brittle PFP coatings will be presented.
Traditional internal lining schemes for the storage/transport of crude oil & refined fuels may no longer be appropriate. The aggressive nature of crude oil (high temp. & more sour), high purity refined products & increased use of biofuels demand better linings & more certain test results. The focus of this paper is to review the trends in test methodology from the early 1990’s to present.
This study was to 1) develop a protocol to test coating performance on pitted stainless steel 2) compare performance of protective coating systems 3) determine application procedure.
Crude oil and its derivate have many applications in almost all industries as O&G are the main resources that move the entire world. The oil and gas industry operate in demanding environments that pose significant challenges to equipment and infrastructure integrity. Facilities such as Gas Oil Separation Plant (GOSP) tanks, submerged areas, DGA columns, desulfurization units, and sour gas treatment facilities are subjected to high temperatures, corrosive substances, and harsh operating conditions.
Marine fouling is a significant problem in many industries. Since the ban of tributyl tin, a toxic additive prevalent in anti-fouling coatings, various new technologies have emerged to combat this problem. Silicone elastomers are a popular, non-toxic solution to fouling in numerous marine environments. These coatings, however, still incorporate volatile organic compounds (VOC) to aid in application and often require routine maintenance or recoating in approximately 5 years.
Pull-off adhesion behaviors of 15 coating systems in three groups were studied utilizing test method ASTM D4541. Three groups of coating systems included coating systems with organic or inorganic zinc-rich primers, polymeric polyurea coatings, and overcoating systems applied on an existing coating system.
The use of sustainable materials in the flooring market has gained widespread interest in recent years. Bio based raw materials contribute significantly to these efforts and are used to prepare environmentally friendly coatings. Castor oil-based emulsions are used as polyols in waterborne polyurethane coatings. These systems have outstanding chemical resistance and good durability. But they have inherent issues like very short pot life, poor appearance / flow properties, and delayed early hardness development.
The performance of coatings applied to cementitious building walls is a function of both the coating itself and the integrity of the building wall assembly.
Polysiloxane (often referred to as ‘hydide coatings’) products have been one of the major technology platforms used in the European offshore sector mainly due ban on isocynate among several customers. The potential long-term performance of polysiloxanes coatings have also been a strong argument for this topcoat selection in NORSOK (501 – rev 5) systems. There have been several claim-situations with delamination in epically two-coat systems, but similar problems have also been seen on traditional NORSOK systems.
Most of atmospheric coatings and tank linings for offshore maintenance are routinely applied on rusted steel after dry abrasive blasting. It is well known that the salt contamination on rusted steels cannot be completely removed by dry abrasive blasting alone. Residual salt contamination, which is hidden in the corrosion pits, is difficult to remove mechanically. Depending on the rust severity, the residual salt content on the dry abrasive blasted steel surface can be in the range of 5-65 μg/cm2. Too much residual salt contamination can be detrimental to coating performance. It could cause coating blistering, adhesion degradation, and under film corrosion which will result in a shorter service life, particularly in immersion service such as pipeline coatings or tank linings. Recently wet abrasive blasting (WAB) has been used as the surface preparation in conjunction with the decontamination chemicals.
