A shipyard needed to make sure various equipment onboard a FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) unit remained corrosion-free during construction and commissioning. After a detailed site visit from Cortec’s rep, the following products were selected and applied: • VpCI®-126 HP UV Shrink Film for various topside equipment• VpCI®-368 for machined surfaces and flange faces prior to covering• CorrLube™ VpCI® Lithium EP
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a rampant problem in the oil and gas industry and other sectors where insulated piping is common. The same insulation that traps moisture also hides the resulting corrosion, meaning damage could be catastrophic before it is discovered. Cortec® offers a unique approach to fighting this problem through the application of Vapor
Tanks and tank farms are everywhere in the industrial world. Many tanks are used to store liquids. Others are used for mixing, dipping, or cleaning. Coatings are typically needed to protect the metal surfaces from rusting and provide a good appearance. Some environments demand more protection than others. It is therefore imperative to select the
High operating costs, rising inflation, aging plants that need capital investment, or simply corporate restructuring: these are all reasons business leaders choose to shut down aging mills or plants that have become regional icons.

The Middle East client wanted to leave balance and ballast testing water in mooring buoys during export shipping to the Mediterranean. They decided to add VpCI®-649 BD to the fresh water used and were very happy with the solution. In this way, they were able to satisfy their corrosion protection needs during wet layup without
It is not uncommon for a company with a preservation specification to continue using the same products and processes without reviewing the specification for a decade or two. However, because of the continuing development of new technologies and improved processes, Cortec® encourages end users to bring their old specs to Cortec® for review to ensure they are
Thousands of aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) around the world face the challenge of achieving safety and longevity. Not least among concerns is the corrosion that attacks hidden tank bottoms and can lead to costly repairs or dangerous leaks. While the characteristics of these environments make corrosion protection difficult, the nature of CorroLogic® VpCI® Technology makes it a formidable opponent
