Denso Protal Protects Pipeline Joints At Gas Storage Site

... leading civil engineering and construction company J Murphy & Sons Ltd has recently used Denso Protal 7300 for protecting weld joints on the 2014 Underground Pipelines Contract with Storengy UK.

The appeal for Murphy to use the Protal 7300 coating product on the contract was that, on completion of blast cleaning to gas industry standards, which correlates to Swedish standard Sa21/2, it enabled them to obtain a required coating thickness of 1000 microns in one application to the welded joints.

The Protal product was used on a dual pipeline from Storengy’s exiting gas and methanol lines to Well Site H324, a distance of 1200 meters which also linked four well sites along the route.

Winn & Coales Denso Protal coatings give effective anti-corrosion properties by forming a firmly bound corrosion inhibiting film on the metal surface. The result is a thick, effective physical barrier against air and moisture which remains permanently flexible. It can be applied by brush, roller or pad.
