Title:
A FLEXIBLE INSULATING MATERIAL AND METHOD OF USE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001025663
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The material, method and system may be applied to tubulars used in deep water projects. The insulating material is composed of ceramic particles, epoxy and an acrylate monomer that is a precursor to an acrylic resin, and additives. Equal volumes of an epoxy component mixture and a curing agent component mixture when heated and mixed together create a liquid insulating material that can be applied to the outer surface of pipe (6) involving a repetitive series of steps controlled by an operator at a main control panel (2). The pipe unrolled from a pipe reel (4) is straigthened and heated. In a heated retort (2, 8), liquid insulating material is applied to the surface of pipe and cured to the final insulation coating. The final coated pipe can be replaced on the reel for shipment to the job site.
