Thermoplastic Corrosion Protection: Innovative, Long-Term Asset Protection
Thermoplastic corrosion protection is a revolutionary solution designed to safeguard industrial assets and infrastructure from corrosion in the most aggressive environments. This innovative system can be applied on-site to objects of any shape or size, making it ideal for pipework, flanges, switchgear, and other hard-to-protect areas. With its built-in corrosion inhibitors and tough, impermeable barrier, thermoplastic encapsulation provides immediate and long-term protection for critical components.
Cost-Efficient Corrosion Control
Thermoplastic corrosion protection has been proven to reduce corrosion-related costs by up to 95%, offering a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional methods. Its quick installation, reusability, and long-term performance make it an invaluable solution for industries seeking to extend the life of their critical infrastructure.
Benefits of Thermoplastic Corrosion Protection
- Immediate Corrosion Prevention: Stops corrosion as soon as it is applied.
- Durability and Longevity: Creates a tough, impermeable barrier to extend asset life.
- Reusable and Waste-Free: Thermoplastic can be removed and reapplied, reducing waste.
- No VOC Content: An environmentally friendly solution.
- Ease of Application: Can be applied on-site to objects of any size or shape.
- Customisable Protection: Edges can be shaped and cut after curing to ensure uniform sealing and prevent water ingress.
- Built-In Corrosion Inhibitors: Constantly releases protective oils on the inner surface for active, long-term protection.
Applications of Thermoplastic Encapsulation
Proven Performance: 10,000-Hour ASTM Salt Fog Test
Thermoplastic’s superior performance was demonstrated during a 10,000-hour ASTM B117 hot salt fog test, which lasted ten times longer than standard testing. The results were clear:
- Unprotected Control Piece: The coating failed, and severe rusting occurred.
- Thermoplastic Protected Sample: No rusting was observed, with nuts and bolts easily turned by hand, showing complete protection of threads and flange surfaces.
This test underscores thermoplastic’s ability to provide a durable, impermeable barrier that effectively prevents corrosion, even under extreme conditions.
