| PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION |
Insul-8® Systems are moulded and/or spray
applied polyurethane foam coatings developed for
external protection of buried or above ground steel
and plastic pipe. The polyurethane foam provides a
cost-effective alternative for preventing hydrate
formation in gas pipelines, maintaining viscosity
of hot oil lines and providing freeze protection
for water and sewage lines. |
| FEATURES
AND BENEFITS |
Provides a Water Tight Barrier
Prevents Hydrate Formation in Gas
Lines
- Insul-8® polyurethane foam reduces heat loss to
prevent hydrate formation in gas pipelines and
helps to maintain viscosity in hot oil lines.
Available with a Variety of Anti-Corrosion Undercoat Systems
- Can be used with a variety of anti-corrosion
coatings and is available in a variety of insulation
thicknesses to meet specific project requirements.
Protection of Water and Sewage Lines
from Freezing
- An optional design for further protection against
temperature loss is the application of heat tracing
channels.
High Operating Temperature
Capabilities
- For use where high operating temperatures are
attained, and high shear strength bond is required.
Insul-8® is available in a range of maximum
operating temperatures.
Global Availability
- High capacity within the Bredero Shaw plant
network allows the client to benefit from single
source advantages, providing more cost effective
management of pipe coating needs.
