Next-generation coating fights corrosion in extreme, cyclic
temperatures
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 8, 2021 – PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced the North
American introduction of PPG HI-TEMP 1027™HD coating, which is a
next-generation, ambient-cure coating engineered for challenging
corrosion-under-insulation (CUI) conditions.
A high-build product that offers dry film thickness of 10 to 12 mils in a
one-coat application, PPG HI-TEMP 1027HD coating provides
excellent protection against corrosion on pipes, vessels and construction
parts when plants are in operation. The highly durable coating is
formulated to withstand severe temperature cycles ranging from -320 F (-196
C) to 1,000 F (540 C) and resists dry exposure with intermittent
temperature peaks of up to 1,200 F (650 C).
PPG HI-TEMP 1027HD coating also protects coated pipes, parts and
assemblies in changing ambient temperature conditions. This is critical
during shipping, as these materials are commonly transported between
continents and exposed to months of rain, snow, ultraviolet (UV) light and
other environmental hazards. The coating protects those same components
from damage and wear before and during new construction, when they are
stored, handled and erected on the building site.
“Oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation and industries such as
paper mills and steel mills rely on insulated pipelines, which are always
vulnerable to corrosion-related leaks and pipe failure,” said Bart Martens,
PPG global product manager, protective and marine coatings. “Because of its
hardness and resistance to thermal shock and cycling, PPG HI-TEMP 1027HD coating more effectively protects these critical
assets against corrosion. This can extend maintenance intervals and
minimize the risk of unexpected shutdowns.”
PPG protective and marine coatings (PPG-PMC) products protect customer
assets in some of the world’s most demanding conditions and
environments, such as projects in energy, infrastructure and marine
markets. PPG-PMC’s product lines include PPG PSX™, PPG AMERLOCK®, PPG
PITT-CHAR™, PPG NOVAGUARD™, SIGMATHERM™ and PPG HI-TEMP™ series.
