LIFE PREDICTION OF POLYMERS: MODEL VALIDATION

October 25, 2017

This is particularly important for polymeric materials as their properties are time and temperature dependent and can be significantly affected by the fluids they come into contact with. To predict life, accelerated laboratory tests can be carried out based on the service conditions the component will experience in real-use. In all cases, increased temperatures are used to accelerate the test conditions.

Silicone-Base Coating Mitigates Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) In Petrochemical Plants

whitePaper | June 15, 2021

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is one of the costliest problems in the petrochemical industry. It also presents a high degree of potential danger. CUI occurs when moisture mixed with contaminants infiltrates insulation, encouraging the development of corrosion cells on the steel underneath. This paper demonstrates how Sherwin-Williams Heat-Flex® High-Temp 1200 withstands temperature fluctuations, thermal shock and other upset conditions to protect against hidden CUI.
