Description
Corrosion-under-insulation coating for insulated marine and offshore pipework
Did you know
- Hempel introduced Versiline CUI 56990 as their latest product addressing corrosion under insulation (CUI) challenges.
- Versiline CUI 56990 is a specialized fiber-reinforced copolymer coating within Hempel's CUI and high-heat protection range, designed to offer superior durability and micro-cracking resistance compared to other CUI coatings like zinc silicates or epoxy/epoxy phenolics which can degrade at high temperatures or during thermal cycling.
- This coating is chosen for its exceptional resistance to a wide range of temperatures, from -196°C to 650°C, and its ability to withstand thermal cycling without micro-cracking, ensuring long-term corrosion protection even with fluctuating operating temperatures.
| Model | Max. Temperature Resistance | Micro-cracking Resistance | Composition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Versiline CUI 56990 | 650°C | Excellent (unique resistance) | Fibre-reinforced, inert modified inorganic copolymer |
| Zinc Silicates | 400°C | Limited (rapid degradation in hot, wet CUI) | Zinc-rich inorganic primer |
| Epoxy/Epoxy Phenolic | Lower than CUI 56990 (degradation at high temperatures) | Limited (micro-cracking with process excursions) | Hydrocarbon polymer based |
