Laboratory testing of polysiloxane based materials confirms much higher temperature tolerances than acrylic spray-on products and insulation performance nearly equal to traditional block, batt and mat-type insulation materials.

In industrial plants such as oil & gas and chemical plants, the plant piping is covered with insulative materials such as mineral wools and metal cladding for thermal insulation. The piping under insulation is subject to more severe corrosive environment than that exposed to the outdoor, due to rainwater entering through the cladding joints and condensation caused by temperature fluctuation. In addition, since the piping is covered with the insulation materials, it is impossible to identify the corrosion from the outside, increasing the risk of leakage accidents due to delays in corrosion mitigations.
This paper summarizes environmental health and safety compliance issues as they relate to coatings projects. It summarizes control measures that should be taken to protect employees from exposure to agents such as silica, methylene chloride, n-methyl 2 pyrolidone, lead, and asbestos. Best practices are discussed. This information is taken from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
The majority of insulation coatings used today are used to provide personnel protection to workers in the oil and gas or chemicals industry. These coatings provide a reduction in surface temperature to help prevent burn injuries from accidental contact with a hot surface. Human burn hazard is defined in ASTM C1055-03 and this standard is used in conjunction with ASTM C1057-17 as a method of determining skin contact temperature from a heated surface.
Coatings are constantly being asked to go to greater extremes, such as lower VOC and higher performance. This paper will discuss coating technologies that are being asked to go beyond the typical protective and aesthetic aspects of coatings and offer other functions. Several types of waterborne functional coatings will be described, including technologies for combating noise, heat, and air pollutants.
