Powercrete J: The Ultimate Choice for Pipeline Coating

When it comes to protecting pipelines against corrosion and ensuring their long-term integrity, the selection of the right pipeline coating is crucial. Among the various options available, Powercrete J has emerged as a frontrunner in the industry. With its exceptional performance and proven track record, Powercrete J has become the most recommended pipeline coating solution for a multitude of applications. In this article, we will explore the key reasons why Powercrete J stands out as the ultimate choice for pipeline coating.

1.     Unmatched Corrosion Resistance: Powercrete J is specifically formulated to provide exceptional resistance against corrosion. It creates a robust barrier between the pipeline and its surroundings, effectively protecting the metal from the damaging effects of moisture, chemicals, and soil conditions. This coating is engineered to withstand harsh environments, including offshore installations, underground pipelines, and subsea applications. Its ability to resist cathodic disbondment and provide long-term protection makes it a preferred choice for pipeline operators globally.

2.     High Flexibility and Adhesion: Flexibility is a crucial aspect of any pipeline coating, especially in applications where the pipeline may experience movement or undergo bending. Powercrete J offers remarkable flexibility, allowing it to adapt to the movements of the pipeline without cracking or delaminating. Its exceptional adhesion properties ensure a strong bond with the pipe surface, preventing the ingress of water and corrosive agents. The coating's superior adhesion contributes to its long-term durability and enhances the overall performance of the pipeline system.

3.     Rapid and Easy Application: One of the significant advantages of Powercrete J is its ease of application. It can be applied by hand or spray, making it suitable for both field and factory applications. The coating cures quickly, minimizing downtime and accelerating the installation process. Unlike some other coatings that require extensive surface preparation, Powercrete J can be applied to a wide range of substrates, including steel, concrete, and various alloys. This versatility makes it a cost-effective choice for coating new pipelines or rehabilitating existing ones.

4.     Environmental Friendliness: Powercrete J is designed with environmental sustainability in mind. It is a 100% solids, solvent-free coating that eliminates volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, reducing the potential harm to the environment. Furthermore, this coating does not contain heavy metals or hazardous substances, ensuring it complies with the most stringent environmental regulations. Its low carbon footprint combined with its exceptional performance makes Powercrete J an environmentally friendly choice for pipeline coating projects.

5.     Proven Performance and Industry Recognition: Powercrete J has a proven track record in the pipeline industry, with countless successful applications around the world. It has been extensively tested and certified to meet industry standards, including NACE International and ISO 21809. The coating's reliable performance and durability have earned it the trust of major pipeline operators, who consistently recommend Powercrete J for critical infrastructure projects.

When it comes to pipeline coating, Powercrete J stands tall as the most recommended choice. Its unrivaled corrosion resistance, high flexibility, easy application, environmental friendliness, and industry recognition make it a preferred solution for pipeline operators worldwide. By choosing Powercrete J, pipeline owners can ensure the long-term integrity of their assets and protect them against corrosion-related issues, enhancing safety and reliability.

DIRAX and Protal Installation



Raychem / Covalence DIRAX
Installed On Cured Protal 7200

Materials and Equipment Required:
·         Appropriate sized DIRAX kit
·         Approved adjustable Propane Torches w/ regulator
·         Temperature measuring equipment (contact pyrometer)
·         Standard safety equipment
·         Heat resistant gloves
·         Silicone roller

protal and dirax
 

Lightly abrade Protal 7200 and ARO coating adjacent to field joint, then use a solvent to remove all oil, grease, mud and dust from the area where the DIRAX will be installed.
shrink sleeves and denso

Mix the S1301M Epoxy Primer.  Pour smaller can into larger can.  Mix for approximately 1 minute.  If working in cooler weather, keeping epoxy inside of a truck (at a slightly warmer temperature) can make the epoxy easier to mix.
protal on dirax

Using a propane torch with a broad, bushy, yellow flame, gently preheat Protal 7200 and adjacent ARO where the DIRAX will be installed to a temperature in the 160F range (minimum:  140F; maximum: 180F).  The purpose of this preheat is to most efficiently use the S1301M epoxy primer, minimizing wastage.  Check preheat temperature with a contact pyrometer. 
protal with dirax

Use the supplied applicator pad to apply the mixed epoxy primer over the entire surface to be covered (Protal 7200 and ARO).  Note:  When installing 12” wide sleeves on a 12” OD pipe – each individual epoxy kit contains enough epoxy to coat 3 field joints.
denso with dirax

Immediately after application of the S1301M epoxy primer, and while the primer is STILL WET, loosely wrap the DIRAX sleeve centrally around the girth weld.  Wrap the sleeve (adhesive side down) around the area to be coated.  Make sure the DIRAX sleeve wraps around the pipe and overlaps itself by at least 2 inches.  
epoxy with dirax

Gently preheat the inside layer of the adhesive layer just next to the closure strip for 2 seconds and press it down on the sleeve end on the pipe to form a tube (making it stick to the other end of the sleeve).
denso heat shrink sleeves

Using the approved torch, with a broad, bushy, yellow flame, start heating the closure area.  As you see the closure begin to ‘soften’ pat it down firmly with a gloved hand.  Continue heating and patting every few inches until the whole patch area is finished.  As the closure is properly heated, you should see a light cross hatch texture appearing in the closure.  
protal and dirax

Start heating (with a broad, bushy, yellow flame) the sleeve at the side of the leading edge (the side toward where the bore hole is).  Move the torch continuously CIRCUMFERENTIALLY (up and down) in a paint brush motion all the way around the sleeve.  Work (moving torch up and down) from one end of sleeve; toward middle – then toward other end of sleeve – always UP AND DOWN with yellow flame contacting the sleeve.
 
shrink sleeves and protal

Upon completion of “shrink”, while the DIRAX is still hot and soft, run a small hand roller over the overlap area (where one layer of sleeve overlaps onto the other layer of sleeve, to push out any potential trapped air.  Pay particular attention to the weld and cutback area.  Reheat any area if necessary.  At this stage is when the temperature reading can be taken on the backing of the sleeve with a contact pyrometer.  Sleeve backing temperature is not to exceed 350F which can be easily achieved with installer taking care and working with Torch at proper output levels (but must exceed 267F or the sleeve will not shrink).
both dirax and protal

Main DIRAX sleeve is complete when:  sleeve has fully conformed to the pipe / Protal and adjacent ARO; there are no cold spots or dimples in the sleeve surface; there are no major blisters on the sleeve surface, adhesive flow is evident on both edges after sleeve is cool. 
sleeves on denso?
It is now time to install 3” wide leader strip on the side of the sleeve that will go into bore hole first.  That area should still be at least 160F (but if not; it will be necessary to re-pre-heat).

Wrap the leading edge / wear cone over the transition between the DIRAX and the ARO.  Make sure the closure for the wear cone is placed away from the main sleeve closure.  Install this wear cone the same way as the DIRAX sleeve – wrapping around pipe to overlap onto self; securing the closure and then shrinking the wear cone with a broad, bushy, yellow flame.  
protal on sleeves?

Smooth down any edges of the sleeve with the silicone roller.  Sleeve is fully recovered when: it is fully conformed to pipe surface / Protal / Denso.  There are no cold spots; dimples.  Profiles are visible beneath sleeve.  Adhesive flow evident on all edges after sleeve has cooled.  Sleeve must be cooled to ambient temperature (and epoxy cured) before it should see soil stresses.

Protal 7200 - Successful Project

Protal 7200 In Stock

Two Part Epoxy
Protal 7200 Hand Applied on a 42" Line
      The year was 2010 and one of the largest pipeline jobs in the country was just wrapping up:  500 miles of 36" and 42" pipe.  Kinder Morgan's Mid-Continent Express used Protal 7200 on all of the field joints; hand applied (as opposed to brush applied).  500 miles of 36" and 42" pipe uses a LOT of liters of Protal 7200!

     A situation like this; a large project requiring many, many pallets of material is where Joint Specialists can really add some value to your project.  Why would you want to purchase and store dozens of pallets worth of Protal 7200 somewhere? In addition, why pay the prices that you have to pay to purchase all of those liters one pallet at a time?  You shouldn't have to do either of those things - and now with Joint Specialists as your partner - you don't.

     We have plenty of warehouse space.  We understand the value of on hand inventory.  We excel at customer service.  Simply place your blanket order with us and we'll store all of the Protal 7200 you are going to need right here on hand.  We'll ship it out as you need it (even if it is a pallet at a time or less) and we will invoice you as we ship; for what we ship. 

     In addition, stop getting nickel and dimed!  We will offer the same, great project prices to you even if you really only need a few liters.  We think the most fair thing to do is to consider your purchases over the course of a year; rather than taking of advantage of you on those small jobs...and being fair is important to us. 

     So give us a shot on your next project that requires Protal 7200.  We'll treat you well and we'll treat you right.  No games.  No bickering back and forth.  We try to make things easy on you...we know you've got bigger things to deal with than buying field joint coatings!
