Revolutionising pipeline protection in extreme cold environments
Published: 22 January, 2025
Denso a leader in corrosion prevention and sealing technologies, has announced the Protal 7125, a high-build liquid coating specifically formulated for use in low-temperature environments.
The company says tailored to meet the needs of the oil, gas, and natural gas industries, this innovative solution offers superior pipeline protection even in the most challenging climates.
Engineered for application on substrates at temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C), Protal 7125 is designed to extend the working season for pipeline construction and maintenance. Its advanced formulation ensures that the coating remains effective on surfaces below 32°F (0°C), maintaining integrity in sub-zero conditions. This high-build coating achieves up to 50 mils (1270 microns) in a single coat, significantly reducing application time and labour costs. Protal 7125’s fast-curing properties allow for quick handling and backfilling, even in extreme conditions ensuring seamless project timelines.
Additionally, Protal 7125 offers exceptional adhesion that complements Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) coatings, making it a versatile choice for pipeline operators. For enhanced operational efficiency, the product is available in repair cartridges (50 ml and 825 ml sizes), facilitating easy on-site touch-ups.
Protal 7125 is said to be ideal for a range of applications, including girth welds, tie-ins, push racks, and repairs to FBE-coated pipelines. Its versatility also extends to in-service pipeline maintenance in cold environments where preheating or post-heating is not an option.
Denso says it specifically designed Protal 7125 to tackle the challenges posed by cold-weather pipeline operations and this innovative solution aims to provide consistent protection for pipelines throughout the year, even in low-temperature conditions. Protal 7125 demonstrates Denso's ongoing dedication to creating cutting-edge, high-performance products tailored to meet the needs of the oil, gas, and natural gas industries.
