(Pipeline, Oil & Gas) Advantages of a True 100% Epoxy, Pipeline Coating in Cold Weather vs. The Comm

Product Number: 22-COAT_DEC21

Author: Nicholas Barnett

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

Coating systems are critical in the mitigation of corrosion on pipelines and their integrated parts.
Epoxies offer a multitude of positive characteristics including: high adhesion at a chemical level,
excellent abrasion resistance, and reduced water permeation rates when compared to vinyl
esters. A newly engineered cold weather epoxy (“Epoxy-20F”) improves upon these epoxy
characteristics and exceeds that of vinyl esters.

(Pipeline, Oil & Gas) Creating and Applying a Single Coat Nano Non-Skid Deck Epoxy

Product Number: 32-COAT_DEC21

Author: Joe Davis

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

The Offshore Oil and Gas environment is among the most corrosive in the world. It is also one of the most
dangerous. Providing safe working surfaces is a requirement of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental
Enforcement (BSEE) and is desired by asset owners and contractors alike. Balancing safety with production,
downtime, and turn-around times is always a battle, but one coating manufacturer seems to have solved
these issues through its development of a single coat zinc carbon nanotube (CNT) non-skid epoxy deck coat
that provides galvanic protection via the sacrificial metal’s electron transfer along the CNT quantum network.

Asset owners spend significant monies each year on the construction of new and the maintenance of existing infrastructure. More than ever, these funds can be difficult to procure and budget. The owners include, both municipal and industrial entities and funds are limited in most cases, therefore, asset service life is very important to all parties.

15.5-Year Inspection Reveals the Effectiveness of a Single-Coat Epoxy

Product Number: 51322-17996-SG

Author: Guy Zanti

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

In the mid-1990s, the US Navy’s technical community, led by Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), recognized existing coatings used to protect the inside of ships’ tanks were failing on average 5-8 years after application. The high cost to blast and recoat over 11,000 tanks every 5-8 years, not counting submarines and aircraft carriers, was prohibitive. To address this issue, the Navy conducted a study to analyze the problem and decided to replace these legacy coatings with high solid epoxy coatings.¹

40-Year Maintenance Free Coating Solution for Offshore Structures

Product Number: 51324-20591-SG

Author: Darren Ward; Mike O'Donoghue; Vijay Datta

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Offshore assets such as those found on wind farms are being designed to have extended lifetimes of more than 40 years to offer a sustainable form of energy generation. With offshore maintenance considered a hazardous and expensive process, owners are looking for low or maintenance free solutions to protect their assets. The challenge to the coating manufacturer is twofold, firstly to design a coating system that offers a maintenance free solution in a highly corrosive environment and secondly demonstrating long term performance. This paper will describe a 40-year case history of a coating system applied to the hull of a offshore TLP with submerged, splash/tidal, and atmospheric zone. We will describe both the technology approach using high loadings of lamellar glass flake to enhance both abrasion and mechanical properties and secondly demonstrate the in-service properties of the coating system after 40 years exposure including visual appearance, adhesion, cross sectional optical microscopy and electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The coating integrity has been well maintained by a multiple coating application. We will discuss the key product attributes that are relevant to providing a high durability coating solution for extreme environments. We will also introduce a new international standard related to the offshore wind industry with particular focus on extending asset lifetime through appropriate coating specification and selection.

ASH Testing to Confirm Mix Ratio by Volume of Plural Component Applied Material

Product Number: 51324-21133-SG

Author: Steve Liebhart

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Epoxy pipe coatings are often used for coating the exterior of buried pipe for means of corrosion protection and other robust performance characteristics they provide. One class of coatings often used for this service are two-component fast curing epoxy products applied using plural component application equipment. With this type of equipment, both paint components are heated and metered separately, until pumped through a static mixer(s) for mixing just prior to being sprayed. What assurance does an applicator have that their equipment is metering and mixing the materials properly? And how can it be determined with accuracy to provide confidence that the material will perform as advertised? After all, good lab practices ensure that the performance properties of the product were evaluated on correctly metered and mixed materials in a lab. There are a handful of quality control tests that can be performed on field applied coatings, but they are most-all a bit crude and only give you a general idea that the coating looks to be on ratio. Depending on the materials being used and how they are formulated, a more sophisticated approach to evaluate the accuracy of the mixed material is to perform ash testing on cured samples prepared prior to or at the same time as material being applied for service. The ash content value of the mixed/cured material can be used to calculate and verify that the required stoichiometric ratio by volume of the two-component mix was achieved. Having a high degree of confidence that the protective coating applied to the pipe was mixed correctly should provide increased confidence it will perform correctly and do its part in preserving the integrity of the pipeline.
