Minimize Compression and Creep

• Higher compressive strength for a given thermal conductivity means that TDF can be installed to water depths up to 2200 m (7218’).

Improved Thermal Performance

• TDF can be combined with syntactic polypropylene as an inner layer to improve creep resistance for higher temperature, deepwater applications.
• Also available in a low density version (LD TDF) which further improves thermal performance to water depths up to 800 m (2625’).

Thinner Insulation Compared to Traditional Polypropylene Foam

• A thinner coating for the same insulation as traditional polypropylene systems value improves seabed stability and may lower installation costs.
• Thinner field joints mean improved cooling and reduced cycle-time.

Multi-layered Custom Designed System

• TDF can be applied as a 5, 7 or 9 layer system and customized to meet project specific requirements.
• The multi-layer TDF system may be designed with the highest density towards the steel surface for highest mechanical performance and the lowest density towards the outer surface for better thermal performance than traditional polypropylene systems.

Proven Field Joint Technology

• The patented field joint insulation system minimizes the risk of disbonding in the field joint area as well as ensuring stiffness continuity.
