Offshore maintenanceWe understand your challenges

Offshore assets are exposed to the harshest of environments and ever

evolving performance challenges, such as increasing process temperature

and pressures to cope with new deep and ultra deep water exploration

and production (E&P) activity. At the same time, owners and operators

are looking to extend the service life of offshore assets beyond the original

design life.

Whatever the offshore maintenance challenge, Sherwin-Williams is committed providing innovative

protective coatings to help you stay competitive. Whether you’re looking for a coating that provides faster return

to service, corrosion under insulation (CUI) protection, heat tolerance, passive fi re protection (PFP) or superior splash

zone wear resistance, we have a solution for you.

■ Best in class protection for areas exposed to

mechanical wear, thanks to many years of

fi eld and formulation experience servicing the

development of splash zone coatings, glass fi lled

epoxies and deck coatings.

■ Innovative humidity and surface tolerant coating

systems provide extended durability during fabric

maintenance under a broader range of application

conditions including ultra high pressure (UHP)

water jetting.

■ Latest generation CUI solutions are specially

suited for fi eld application during operation.

■ Next generation of hydrocarbon PFP and

insulation materials feature reduced loadings and

extended approvals covering a wider range of

steel sections for more fl exible design.

Summary

Heat-Flex® 3500 is a multi-purpose insulative acrylic coating engineered to

optimise thermal properties, offering personnel burn protection, hot and cold

process insulation. Heat-Flex® 3500 acts as an alternative for conventional

insulation and cladding.

The difference

It is a single component coating that can be applied to ambient or hot surfaces up

to 177°C (350°F) and is suitable for substrates operating between -63°C (-80°F) and

177°C (350°F). Heat-Flex® 3500 is fl exible enough to perform under cyclic thermal

shock conditions.

Features Benefi ts

Protection Effectively insulates a dangerously hot surface to prevent burns due to accidental contact by personnel.

Hot and cold process insulation

When the coating is placed around process piping or tanks it will prevent the transfer of process energy from escaping.

Condensation control Effectively insulates cold process equipment to maintain surface temperature above dew point.

Reduce radiant solar heating – containers and personal enclosures

Reduces container internal temperatures in hot weather by as much as 16ºC, providing cooler storage and safer personnel break room conditions.

Eliminates hidden CUI Heat-Flex® 3500 effectively insulates dangerously hot surfaces without the need for conventional cladding therefore avoiding any possibility of CUI.

Replacement for conventional insulation and cladding

Can be used as a replacement for conventional insulation and cladding in service temperatures ranges of -51°C to 177°C.

Deck coatingsHard wearing, tar-free anti-slip coatings

Summary

A hard wearing, tar free, pure epoxy based anti-slip coating

designed to provide exceptional wear and impact resistance to

deck surfaces, including those which are subject to the most

extreme conditions.

Epidek M153 offers excellent resistance to crude oil and salt

water immersion, and when combined with calcined bauxite

aggregate dressing, offers exceptional resistance to abrasion and

impact damage. It is a long life system which also demonstrates
