Polyken® Protects the Pipelines of Malaysia
Products that protect the pipelines of Malaysia from the harshness and corrosion it inflicts upon them are a major concern of Elmar Industrial Services Sdn. Bhd. Since the late 1980’s, the Polyken® division of ELMAR has concentrated on the supply of pipeline coating systems consistent with the needs of the pipeline industry within this region. Recognizing the shortcomings of hot coating application techniques in remote construction locations, the Polyken® division of ELMAR strove to supply viable, affordable solutions.
Polyken® cold-applied coating system of compatible elements; primer, polyethylene-backed adhesive-coated tape, and polyethylene outer wrap is that very solution. Working together, these elements provide the pipeline with a tough, durable protective covering system that is impervious to weather as well as mechanical, chemical and electrolytic corrosion. Yet this system may be simply and economically installed in a consistent and reproducible manner.
Today, Polyken® Pipeline Coatings in Malaysia has become synonymous with worldwide standards for pipeline corrosion protection. This is proven as Polyken® is specified in most of the major Oil & Gas Projects, Firefighting Systems, Large Scale Tank Facilities, and also various Civil Engineering Projects throughout the Malaysia. Polyken® products supplied by Elmar Industrial Services are also licensed by PETRONAS and used extensively in all their relevant projects. Wherever there is a need for maximum protection, whether it be stock-piles of plant coated pipeline operations, or under the busy streets of cities in Malaysia, you will find Polyken® Pipeline Coating supplied by ELMAR.
“On-Site” Field Coating System
Polyken® Pipeline Coatings are used in virtually every pipeline coating application, but nowhere has their success been more apparent than in on-site field installations in Malaysia.
In addition to being less complicated than hot coating and providing a more uniform coating, the Polyken® system represents a far smaller investment in men and equipment. For example, on a 1000 mile run of 30 inch pipe, an on-site application of primer, polyethylene-backed adhesive tape coating, and polyethylene outerwrap can be accomplished with a 60% cost reduction and at a rate of two to three miles of coated pipe per day.
Polyethylene, chosen primarily for its chemical stability, provides maximum protection against both chemical and electrolytic corrosion and offers excellent resistance to abrasion, shrinkage, cold, heat, pressure, bending and stretching.
Some of The Polyken® Products We Offer
POLYKEN® #980 SERIES PRIMARY COATING
BASIC USE:
Polyken® #980 is a primary coating system incorporating polyethylene backing with a butyl rubber-based adhesive to assure high bond to primed steel pipe. It is designed for machine application and delivers excellent conformability when applied over seamed, spiral welded or extruded pipe.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES:
- Proven Performance – #980 is one of the Polyken® field coatings that have grown up with the pipeline industry over the past half of a century.
- Unparallel Adhesion – The special butyl rubber adhesive system on Polyken® #980 is unequalled for high adhesive bond to primed steel. Equally important, the adhesive system is laminated to the polyethylene film backing to assure a totally integrated corrosion protection system.
- Maximum Corrosion Protection – Available in a variety of thicknesses to meet the most hostile terrain and climatic conditions, #980 provides in-ground or aboveground pipelines with optimum electrolytic and moisture resistance.
Ease of Application – Polyken® #980 provides a uniform lap, superior bond, and optimum conformability under controlled tension. The result is a uniform, reproducible, consistent coating over the entire length of any size pipe.
BASIC USE:
Polyken® #955 is a protective pipeline outerwrap that is used where a complete bond of outerwrap to tape is specified. Because it is a polyethylene film with a bonding adhesive, it stays with the tape and never disappears or disintegrates. The adhesive assures a complete bond and eliminates the need for tie-downs on the outerwrap.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES:
- Proven Performance – Polyken® #955 is one of a family of Polyken outerwraps that have proven themselves on pipelines throughout the world over the past fifty years.
- Tight Bond – The recommended outerwrap wherever a complete bond to tape is required. Tough, pressure sensitive adhesive means the outerwrap bonds and stays permanently.
- Ease of Application – Engineered to achieve a taut, smooth machine wrap over a wide range of primary coatings, Polyken® #955 is the first choice when an adhesive bond of the outerwrap to the primary coating is specified
POLYKEN #955 SERIES PIPELINE OUTERWRAP
POLYKEN® #955 SERIES PIPELINE OUTERWRAP
BASIC USE:
Polyken® #955 is a protective pipeline outerwrap that is used where a complete bond of outerwrap to tape is specified. Because it is a polyethylene film with a bonding adhesive, it stays with the tape and never disappears or disintegrates. The adhesive assures a complete bond and eliminates the need for tie-downs on the outerwrap.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES:
- Proven Performance – Polyken® #955 is one of a family of Polyken® outerwraps that have proven themselves on pipelines throughout the world over the past fifty years.
- Tight Bond – The recommended outerwrap wherever a complete bond to tape is required. Tough, pressure sensitive adhesive means the outerwrap bonds and stays permanently.
- Ease of Application – Engineered to achieve a taut, smooth machine wrap over a wide range of primary coatings, Polyken® #955 is the first choice when an adhesive bond of the outerwrap to the primary coating is specified
POLYKEN® #930 SERIES FITTINGS INNERWRAP
BASIC USE:
A heavy-duty joint-wrap tape, Polyken® #930 is designed for handwrapping field joints, fittings, ells, tees, valves & flanges. Its extreme conformability at temperatures as low as -34 Degrees Celsius makes #930 ideal for smooth, tight, totally protected joints. A butyl rubber adhesive assures excellent aging and high adhesion. No heat is required during or after wrapping. Polyken® #930 has no bothersome innerliner to complicate the wrap. The low-density polyethylene backing assures corrosion and abrasion resistance as well as high dielectric strength and high moisture resistance.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES:
- Proven Performance – Polyken® #930 is one of a family of accessory products used by major pipeline contractors the world over. It is engineered to deliver maximum pipeline protection while requiring a minimum of application skill.
- High Conformability – The extreme flexibility of the butyl rubber adhesive and Polyethylene film of Polyken® #930 assures a totally protected, smoothly hand-wrapped joint, fitting, tee or ell.
- Optimum Corrosion Protection – Polyken® #930 Joint Wrap utilizes a polyethylene film with a butyl rubber adhesive system to deliver impact resistance to rocks and backfill as well as maximum dielectric strength and moisture resistance.
- Ease of Application – Polyken® #930 is cold applied. You need only apply the Polyken® primer, then wrap #930 over the primed area.
