New Development in Thermal Insulation Coatings

Product Number: 51324-21011-SG

Author: Nicole Rakers

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

In chemical process industries, oil and gas, and petrochemical plants, it is common practice to use mechanical insulation such as mineral wool or calcium silicate and metal jacketing on heated tanks, piping, and related equipment as a means of either personal protection or improved energy retention. These traditional insulation systems can become saturated with moisture, leading to significant reduction in ability to thermally insulate as well as creating an environment that may cause an increase in corrosion under insulation. To combat these issues, asset owners have also been using spray-on insulation coatings. However, these are often limited in film thickness and temperature resistance and require a primer. Recent coating technology has been developed to address these challenges currently faced in the field. This paper will discuss some of the coating’s improved properties including hydrophobicity, higher film thickness, improved temperature resistance, and direct-to-metal corrosion protection. These properties provide an asset owner the means to spray apply thermal insulation at higher operating temperatures in less coats and with better long-term protection against corrosion of the asset.

Review Of Coating Current Test Methods For Simulating CUI Conditions And Introduction Of A New, Small Scale, Accelerated Test Method

Product Number: 51322-18173-SG

Author: David Morton, Ulrik Bork, Vadimas Verdingovas, Simon Daly

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Corrosion under Insulation (CUI) costs industry millions of dollars. Water ingress into conventional insulation systems can result in accelerated corrosion of the steel substrate w hich, if unchecked, will result in structural failure of the vessel or pipe. If the structure is operating under high pressure then this failure would be catastrophic. CUI can result in significant loss of revenue from downtime, maintenance and replacement of corroded structures.

THE INFLUENCE OF INSULATION MATERIALS ON CORROSION UNDER INSULATION

Product Number: MPWT19-15362

Author: John Williams, Owen Evans

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

The designer of industrial equipment and piping has three weapons in the fight against corrosion
under insulation (CUI). The first and primary defense against CUI is a high quality, immersion
grade coating. The second is a properly designed and installed weather barrier jacketing. The third
and, arguably, least understood element is the choice of insulation material. This paper will explore
the ways in which insulation materials influence CUI behavior, presenting results from both
laboratory and field-testing on seven industrial insulation materials and one composite system.
The materials tested were calcium silicate, expanded perlite, cellular glass, mineral wool (both
regular and water-repellent grade), and two types of flexible aerogel blanket material -Pyrogel
XT and Cryogel Z

Third Generation Polysiloxane Coatings For Elevated Temperature; Field Performance

Product Number: 51322-18044-SG

Author: James Reynolds, Peter Bock

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is a well-known industrial problem that has been plaguing asset owners for decades. CUI presents one of the costliest corrosion factors for Oil and Gas, petrochemical and general processing industries and can result in unplanned shutdowns, maintenance, repairs or even explosions while in service. Due to the risk factors present, many methods to prevent CUI have been adopted, trying to find best practices to minimize the risk of potentially catastrophic events caused by CUI.
