UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS offers epoxy-based metal repair composites, coatings, and linings specifically designed to repair and safeguard equipment within the Oil & Gas industry. In use since the late 1990s, UPS’s extensive range of products delivers outstanding erosion and corrosion protection, along with chemical resistance, for equipment operating offshore and onshore under varying temperatures and pressures. These cost-effective solutions reduce downtime, labour costs, and eliminate the need for equipment replacement.
UPS’s linings, designed for elevated to high temperatures, can be spray or hand-applied. Once cured, they form a protective barrier against corrosive media, extending corrosion management timescales. With resistance to erosion-corrosion, pressure fluctuations, and temperature changes, products like UPS 227 HTX HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC X and UPS 225 HT HIGH TEMPERTURE CERAMIC provide full isolation from corrosive environments.
UPS offers solutions for damaged storage tanks, including emergency leak sealing and cold plate bonding. Solvent-free coatings like UPS 778 AWC-TB ACRYLIC WATERPROOFING COATING – TANK BASE seal tank bases, allowing moisture escape while preventing water ingress for long-term protection.
UPS’s concrete repair composites and coatings repair and protect concrete floors and walls in secondary containment areas, reducing downtime. Epoxy coatings like UPS 407 EN EPOXY NOVOLAC and UPS 403 UCU ULTIMATE EPOXY NOOVLAC 75 provide long-term chemical protection.
UPS offers effective solutions for repairing and safeguarding pipework, addressing issues like thin-wall and through-wall damage with advanced metal repair composites. Techniques such as pipe wraps, plate bonding, and pit filling extend the lifespan of assets. UPS COMPOSITE WRAPPING restores the strength of corroded, weakened, and perforated pipe and tank walls, excelling in climates and service temperatures up to 150°C (302°F). The system’s tensile shear adhesion increases during service, making it suitable for pipes, vessels, and complex geometries.
For Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI), UPS uses surface-tolerant, heat-activated polymeric materials like UPS 782 HAE HEAT ACTIVATED EPOXY.
UPS provides cold bonding solutions as a welding alternative for the installation and maintenance of assets, including decks, tanks, pipes, and fittings. This safe and easy on-site process ensures permanent and secure bonding of deck equipment, framework, and supports. Injection bonding technology allows for in-situ repair of corroded equipment and structures, making it valuable for deck renovation and structural integrity repairs.
Corrosion-resistant repair composites and coatings repair rubber sheath and pitting corrosion damage, ensuring long-term erosion and corrosion protection for risers. Flexible sealing solutions like UPS 365 RR RUBBER REPAIR 60 and surface-tolerant coatings like UPS 250 UWC UNDERWATER CERAMIC contribute to repairs and protection in splash zones and below the waterline.
For the final life stage of Oil & Gas fields, UPS offers repair, bonding, sealing, and coatings suitable for various environments. Products like UPS 105 EG THISTLEBOND METAL REPAIR PASTE, UPS 115 XL EXTENDED LIFE METAL, and UPS 120 XFF FAST CURING METAL FLUID cater to repairs, rebuilding structural strength, and underwater applications.
UPS’s metal repair composites, high-temperature coatings, and linings are versatile, finding applications in fenders, hoses, heat exchangers, seawater filters, centrifugal and vacuum pumps, chemical containment, and separator vessels.
