High temperature performance of phenolic novolac epoxies - thermal degradation and barrier properties

Phenolic/ novolac epoxy coatings are being used as protective barriers for assets operating at elevated temperatures, typically up to 204 °C (400 °F), and there is a large variety of coating products which all fall under the generic description phenolic/ novolac epoxy in the market today. This study has resulted in deeper knowledge about the phenolic/ novolac epoxy coatings and their high temperature service properties and illustrates the importance of testing at various temperatures for a long duration.

Selecting heat-resistant coatings: beyond NORSOK standards

In the seventh edition of NORSOK M-501 standard (Nov 2022), new coating system specifications were added for high temperature service – systems 1D, 6C, 10A, and 10B. The study highlights that selecting a heat-resistant coating should not depend only on standard approvals like NORSOK but also on factors like surface tolerance, application conditions, and in-service requirements.

Challenges and insights behind qualifying a protective coating as a CUI preventive coating

Over the last years an extensive amount of testing has been performed to test and qualify coating systems for CUI protection. In a conference paper published by Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) and authored by Jotun R&D experts, a variety of test results are presented to show how complex it is to qualify coatings to prevent CUI occurring.

The industry coming together: combatting the hidden CUI threat in the energy sector

The fight against corrosion, particularly corrosion under insulation (CUI), is increasingly becoming a main focus for the energy sector. How is the industry addressing this issue and how can risk be reduced? A new standard test procedure that addresses this critical industry challenge might pave the way, so that the energy sector better can maintain steel integrity.

고온에서 규산아연을 다룰 때의 문제점 – 제1부

규산아연 프라이머를 활용한 시스템이 수명이 가장 길고 가장 험난한 주위 환경에서 최상의 부식 방지 효과를 제공한다는 것은 잘 알려진 사실입니다. 하지만 절연부 내 부식이라는 문제가 커다란 문제점으로 부각되었습니다.
