Line pipe coating increases bonding strength with field joints

anti-corrosion layer. Formulated with a proprietary molecular structure, the coating is claimed to offer better pipe protection and superior bonding with all field joints. The SureBond 100 product line performs across a wide temperature range, from -70°C to 100°C, with exceptional low temperature bending, and no delamination during field joint installation even under an aggressive heating profile. It also provides higher surface energy so field joints stay tightly bonded long term. “SureBond opens up an important new category of line pipe coating,” said Cedric Oudinot, global product line manager at Bredero Shaw, “and now

Bredero Shaw, a division of ShawCor, provides specialised coating systems and related services for corrosion protection, insulation and weight coating applications on land and marine pipelines, including highly engineered corrosion and insulation systems for deep-water applications. The company has introduced SureBond™ onshore pipe coating, developed to match or exceed the performance of three-layer coating products. SureBond eliminates the need for an adhesive layer and creates a virtually unbreakable bond with field joint coatings, while maintaining stronger, virtually permanent protection of the

SureBond 100 pipes installed for the Audex Rotary project, UAE

we’ve also engineered a SureBond field joint to deliver a fully integrated pipeline solution.”

Tackling steel passivation process challenges Quaker Chemical Corporation featured its Primecoat™ passivation product line at the 106 th Galvanizers Association Meeting and Exposition in Jackson, Mississippi, USA. In the steel making process, the passivation step treats the surface to protect it from the environmental factors that cause corrosion. Depending on the chosen chemistry and regulatory considerations, this process can be approached in several different ways. The Primecoat portfolio offers a product range consisting of hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), trivalent chrome (Cr3+) and chrome-free technology options to meet process needs. The key benefits of the Primecoat line of products include a transparent appearance, corrosion protection even at higher coating weights, and the added advantages of lubrication and compatibility with subsequent paint films. The Quaker Primecoat passivation product line complements the range of process fluids, coatings and chemical management services offered by Quaker.
