#Corrosion #CUI (Corrosion Under insulation) management by TIC (Thermal insulation Coatings)
Lot of material has been published on Corrosion Under Insulation. It has been a menace specially in high rainfall, coastal areas. We have developed several strategies and now a new API Standard is also available on CUI.
Even after developing Inspection programs specifically for CUI, we have been observed the need for FFS evaluation of corroded components which exposes the gaps in existing CUI handling approaches.
CUI management becomes more difficult if surfaces operates under thermal cycles, wet and dry (sweating cycles) or immersion conditions. We can manage CUI by using TIC Coatings.
What are TIC?
A TIC is a coating which can be applied in higher thickness and it can act as coating as well as insulation.
TICs are:
👉 Cost effective solutions to mitigate CUI under sweating, immersed or hard to insulate conditions
👉 Address cryogenic as well as high temperature over a wide range -196 to 650 deg C
👉 Hydrophobic in nature (reduce condensation build up)
👉 Best solution for PERSONNEL PROTECTION - can achieve ISO 13732-1 SafeTouch properties and NACE SP0198 (Control of CUI)
👉 ULTRA HIGH BUILD capabilities - can deposit 20,000 microns per coat
👉 Available in a full range of safety colours, RAL shades & custom colours formulated upon request
👉 ELIMINATE SHUT DOWN - Can be applied in service up to 130°C substrate temperature.
👉 Exceptional resistance to thermal cycling, saline water, and chemicals.
👉Suitable for OEM and maintenance applications, it tolerates rusted steels, enabling application during equipment operation, eliminating the need for shutdowns.
👉 Inspection and Maintenance costs can be SIGNIFCANTLY reduced
👉 ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY - Low VOC, Low Toxicity, Non-isocyanate
