Advanced Technology in Field Applied Thermoplastics for Corrosion: Protection Superior to Thermoset Coating Systems

Product Number: 41205-195-SG

Author: Thomas G. Priest

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

The control, mitigation and prevention of corrosion in environments ranging from mildly corrosive to severe atmospheric conditions to underground exposures (such as pipelines) to chemical spill and fume exposures has long been focused on the use of thermosetting polymers such as epoxies, polyesters, vinyl esters and urethanes. For the most part these materials have worked reasonably well in applications such as structural steel and equipment coatings, architectural paints, vessel linings, concrete coatings, secondary containment linings, and floor toppings.

HOW A COMBINATION OF A POLYMER AND PVC FILM CAN PROVIDE COMPLETE GREEN COATING SOLUTIONS?

Product Number: 51218-109-SG

Author: Thomas Fink

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Vegetal polymers are today a cost effective solution for complex metallic geometry parts (bolts, flanges, valves, etc…), PVC vinyl film became the same for flat and semi flat shapes (bulkheads, tank walls, pipes, etc…). These methods do not require costly surface preparation such as SSPCSP10, just cleaning per SSPC-SP2. Together it leads complete and long longevity if compared to most of conventional painting procedures, generating both performance and economic benefits.

How Fluoropolymers Resist Chemical Attack across the pH Spectrum

Product Number: 51324-20603-SG

Author: Jason Knapp

Publication Date: 2024

When chemical process systems require extremely harsh or demanding environments, material selection is critical for providing longevity and preventing downtime. For systems utilizing exceedingly low or high pH chemicals, fluoropolymers are often an excellent choice to prevent corrosion in a system. The strong carbon-fluorine bond allows fluoropolymers to thrive in areas where other materials would be subject to failures. Strong acids are handled exceptionally well by many fluoropolymers, and certain copolymerization reactions with materials such as PVDF can provide a material that holds up to even more challenging situations. This paper will summarize the most commonly used fluoropolymers in the industry, as well as discuss applications where fluoropolymers are used. The paper will also detail why fluoropolymers can resist exceptionally aggressive chemicals, and how PVDF-HFP copolymers improve the corrosion resistance of both low and high pH environments. Case studies will also be provided.

Nonmetallic Materials of Construction for the Mining and Mineral Processing Industry

Product Number: 51323-18921-SG

Author: Alexandra Peters

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Mining is the essential process of extracting materials from the earth. It dates back to prehistoric times when the earliest humans mined flint, copper and gold. These basic materials were then used for tools, weapons, currency. Today, there is a wide array of mined products from the extraction of valuable materials. Mining is a growing industry with many varied processes and system designs depending on the extraction requirements, processing techniques, and restoration of the land after a mind is closed.

Rotational Lining System and Use of High-Performance Thermoplastics

Product Number: MPWT19-15307

Author: Derek Lowth, Murali Adhyatmabhattar, Emma Mitchell

Publication Date: 2019

Protecting carbon steel oil and gas pipelines with thermoplastic liners is a proven and cost-effective solution to prevent internal corrosion and abrasion. However, the industry is still facing considerable challenges when it comes to fittings and accessories such as elbows, tees, process equipment and complicated shapes.
Rotational lining (aka rotolining) is a technology which bonds a single/multi layered uniform, vacuum resistant, seamless polymer layer to the interior of virtually any metallic structure, regardless of shape and complexity. Once cooled, the result is a monolithic corrosion and chemical resistant lining that conforms to complex shapes and virtually free of stresses. This system results in a high quality and fully thermoplastic lined system.
Rotolining has been proven to provide long-term protection against corrosion and abrasion in various applications including saline water pipe systems, hydrocarbon service, mining and highly aggressive chemical service. This lining system can cover a wide range of fluid requirements, temperatures and applications using high-performance thermoplastics such as HDPE, PA-12, PVDF, ETFE and PFA. Rotolining is a cost-effective alternative to conventional solutions such as FBE, corrosion resistant alloy cladding or continuous chemical injection programs.
In this paper, some of the insights of the rotational lining system and usage of different high-performance thermoplastics are shared. This includes some very challenging and internationally proven case studies, which substantially benefited the entire value chain as long-term solutions
