Offshore corrosion protection using Belzona coatings and repair composites

Belzona repair composites and epoxy coatings provide a cost-effective solution to repair and prevent seawater corrosion on offshore structures such as risers and platform legs.

The offshore environment is home to natural occurring corrosion. Erosive action in splash zones and underwater areas often expose metal to a corrosive, wet atmosphere and to the impact from waves and debris, which causes damage to equipment and machinery.

If the problems are not addressed at an early stage, they can ultimately lead to extensive damage and loss of structural integrity including leaks or ruptures. This will result in high repair or replacement costs, downtime and environmental hazards.

Belzona range of repair composites and epoxy coatings can be applied in-situ to splash zones and under water areas with minimal surface preparation. These products are used by Oil and Gas companies worldwide to protect offshore structures such us risers and platform legs.

Belzona offers surface tolerant products that have been specifically designed to maximise adhesion in the most challenging environments bonding strongly to steel, regardless of immersed conditions, sweating pipes, wet or oily substrates. This is clearly seen in this video where Belzona 5831 (ST-Barrier) is easily applied by brush, effectively displacing water and creating an exceptional bond affinity. This coating eliminates the need for hot work, cures under water and provides your assets with crucial protection against erosion-corrosion.
