Riser corrosion protection with Belzona 5831 coating

Belzona 5831 (ST-Barrier) is an epoxy coating that can be applied to wet and oily metal and concrete surfaces to protect them against corrosion.

In this video, Belzona 5831 (ST-Barrier) is used to protect a riser in an oil rig against the harsh offshore environment which causes severe corrosion problems.  This high technology epoxy coating displaces water and oil from the surface and bonds strongly to almost any metal including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminium and copper. Thanks to this characteristic, the coating can be applied to wet and even underwater surfaces to protect them against seawater corrosion on offshore structures such as risers and platform legs.

Belzona 5831 (ST-Barrier) eliminates the need for hot work, cures under water, simplifying maintenance procedures and extending the asset life. 

Other applications for Belzona 5831 (ST-Barrier) include:
• Pipework
• Submersible pumps
• Tanks 
• Clarifiers
• Marine buoys
• Transformers
• Steel and concrete pilling
