Axalta Launches Nap-Gard
7-2555 Thermosetting
Epoxy Powder Anti-
Corrosion Coating
Axalta Coating Systems has launched
its latest generation Nap-Gard product,
which can withstand continuous operating temperatures of 155°C (311°F).
Nap-Gard High Tg 7-2555 is a thermosetting epoxy powder designed for
use as a corrosion barrier coating for
underground and sub-sea pipelines that
operate in high temperature service. It
can be used as a corrosion coating in
a stand-alone or dual-powder coating
system or as a corrosion coating under
multi-layer insulation systems. When
used in conjunction with Axalta’s most
recent dual layer system Nap-Gard
7-2675, the operating system increases
to 180°C (356°F). The second layer ensures reduced water permeability and
improved chemical resistance.
Nap-Gard 7-2555 is currently approved by operating companies in
Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela. It
is presently being applied on a 50km
project in Mexico. Nap-Gard 7-2555
builds on the previous generation Nap-Gard 8-2535 which was designed for
operating temperatures up to 135°C
(275°F).
