Higher Density and Lower Thermal Conductivity

• Higher densities combined with lower thermal conductivity extends cool down performance, assists in optimizing hydrodynamic response in risers and improves sea bed stability in flowlines.
• The lower thermal diffusivity of the insulation system prolongs storage of energy, resulting in reduced heat loss to maintain fluid temperatures for longer periods of time and extending cool down time.

Thinner Insulation

• Low thermal conductivity allows for a thinner insulation system, which improves hydrodynamic riser response and may reduce installation costs.

Designed without Glass Microspheres

• The absence of glass microspheres eliminates the risk of loss of thermal performance due to glass breakage.

Proven Field Joint Technology

• A compatible injection-moulded field joint provides continuous insulation over the welded pipe joint area. Fusion of the infill material to the parent coating results in a high integrity system offering maximum performance benefits.
• The lower application temperature facilitates cooling and reduces cycle time.

Standard Application with Conventional Equipment

• The simplified processing streamlines delivery schedule, product standardization and quality assurance practices.
• Project management and logistics support are widely available from multiple existing plant locations.
