Development of high-temperature-resistant coatings

Phase 1 Utilising modified phenol epoxy novolac technology to design a product to withstand immersion temperatures in aqueous/hydrocarbon fluids up to 130 °C. This was completed in 1994. 

Phase 2 Increasing the immersion temperature resistance up to 185 C by further developments using enhanced resins and chemically bonded fillers. 

Two years of extensive in-house and independent testing have now been completed with substantial projects undertaken. The system has also undergone extensive independent testing by Shell Expro and found to be the only coating system tested which will withstand a combination of immersed temperatures of 130 °C at 30 bar pressure. 

1 Phase 1 - Modified phenol epoxy novolac coating experience 

Modified phenol epoxy novolac coating technology has been available commercially since 1994. This system provides a viable alternative to traditional materials of construction, and experience to-date has shown that the system is capable of performing in the most arduous of conditions within process equipment in the Oil and Gas Industry.
