Polyols for Improved Durability of Pipeline Coatings

The durability of a coating can be described in a simplified manner as how well it adheres to the substrate and how well it performs over time once exposed to the environment. Oil and gas pipeline coatings need to withstand exposure to both mechanical and chemical forces for long periods of time to extend the life of the pipeline. A new class of 100% solids polyester polyols have been developed which can offer improved performance in urethane coating applications compared to other common protective systems such as epoxies, aspartics and solventborne polyesters

The durability of a coating can be described in a simplified manner as how well it adheres to the substrate and how well it performs over time once exposed to the environment. Oil and gas pipeline coatings need to withstand exposure to both mechanical and chemical forces for long periods of time to extend the life of the pipeline. A new class of 100% solids polyester polyols have been developed which can offer improved performance in urethane coating applications compared to other common protective systems such as epoxies, aspartics and solventborne polyesters. Coatings made with the new polyols will be shown to match or exceed the adhesion, abrasion, weatherability and chemical resistance when compared to these other technologies. By providing a 100% solids resin with low viscosity, the overall VOCs of the coating formulation can be reduced compared to traditional polyesters that often require higher levels of solvent to achieve a workable viscosity. Compatibility with a variety of other resins will also be discussed,
