Issue 10/2019 - New coating solutions improve fire and corrosion protection

At the 50th International Oil & Gas Exhibition, PPG is bringing a range of new coating solutions
.

As a new generation of strong passive fire retardant coatings, PPG PITT-CHAR^®NX not only provides excellent fire resistance to hydrocarbon fire hazards (pool fires, jet fires and explosions), but also offers the advantages of
thinner thickness, lighter weight and faster coating.
Continuing PPG's unique toughness technology, it delivers enhanced durability to ensure fire-retardant coatings perform over the life of the asset
.

PPG SIGMASHIELD^TM880 wear-resistant epoxy paint is a high-performance epoxy coating for extreme conditions and is very versatile
.
It has excellent seawater resistance and corrosion resistance, shorter drying time and earlier immersion time, significantly reducing the man-hours and costs of surface treatment before painting; The high tolerance to surface treatment and the strong wear resistance can improve the finished quality
of the coating while improving the efficiency of the coating application.

PPG SIGMAFAST^TM278 quick-drying epoxy intermediate/primer is an epoxy zinc phosphate coating designed for workshop painting and can be used as a primer or intermediate coat to provide good corrosion protection
in atmospheric environments.
It is a fast-drying product with a high solids content of 80% and the advantages of phenolic amine technology, with a low VOCs content and a curing temperature as low as -5°C, making it an ideal product
for OEMs.

PPG HI-TEMP1027^{TM coatings} provide superior protection against corrosion
under insulation under extreme temperature conditions (-196°C~650°C).
The coating can be applied to hot steel surfaces, reducing plant or equipment downtime due to repair coating, while the indefinite recoating feature allows for localized repair and repair, thereby reducing construction and maintenance costs
for refineries and petrochemical companies.
