Understanding Viscoelastic and Its Importance for Pipeline Protection
Viscoelastic materials, like Viscotaq, offer a unique solution for pipeline corrosion protection, while applied like a pipe wrap it has many different properties that make it particularly great in the oil and gas industry.
Viscotaq is a self-healing, non-hardening coating system designed to combat corrosion in challenging environments, especially where minimal surface prep is feasible.
Unlike traditional coatings, it conforms to irregular surfaces, ensuring complete coverage and protection without the need for extensive prep work. It only requires a 10% overlap, and you don’t have to take a dew point reading. In the winter you only have to use denatured alcohol to remove frost.
Viscotaq for Oil and Gas Pipelines
Viscotaq is ideal for pipelines, flanges, valves, and other structures that are susceptible to corrosion due to environmental exposure. Its viscoelastic properties allow it to adhere to surfaces even with minimal surface preparation, making it perfect for remote or hard-to-reach locations.
While Viscotaq adheres firmly, it can be a temporary solution as it can be removed with mineral oil and manual effort, offering flexibility for maintenance and inspection. While it is a mess to remove, it takes far less time and effort than removing an epoxy coating.
