POLYFLAKE EUROPE bv - Pipe Lining SolutionsPolyFlake® and PolyTube™

highly chemical and acid resistant anti-corrosion liners for pipe systems

POLYFLAKE’s Lining Solutions

creates a resistant liner

strongly bonding to the inner

wall of new or old pipes; the

liner extends on the flange's

face, or to the exterior of the

pipe-end when sliding joints

are used, creating a

continuous barrier to the

corrosion.

Application techniques vary

depending on the size and

shape of the pipe.

POLYFLAKE provides:

• Guidelines to help the piping

designer to create pipe

spools “optimized for

coating“.

• Suggests the combination of

procedures, materials, tools,

and equipment most

suitable for each application.

• Provides estimates and the

“Turn-Key” application to the

Customer’s piping system.

PolyFlake® Standard Lining

System and PolyTube™ Reverse

Lining System are synergetic

technologies to efficiently

solve 100% of all pipeline

problems and challenges

PolyFlake® Standard Lining

System and PolyTube™ Reverse

Lining System is EASILY

REPAIRABLE – Repair kits can

be dispatched.

PolyTube™ Reverse

Lining System

• Ideal solution for pipe

diameters from 4” to 18”

(100mm to 450mm) and

over, on medium and long

pipe lengths; works also in

presence of 90° elbows, tees.

• The application is fast, up to

100m pipe in a single

operation, injecting into the

pipe a GRP sock that

polymerizes in place adhering

to the internal pipe wall.

• Minimizes disassembly of

pipes; in many cases only to

create space for the liner

injection unit and a minimal

space on the other end of the

pipe. 1 entry-point and 1

exit-point… 100m in one time

PolyTube® Standard

Lining System

• Suitable for pipes starting

from 2“, with no practical

upper limits.

• Is also very suitable for

complex pipe spools (as

from 1m length) including

elbows, adapters, tees,

weldolets, etc.; generaly just

needs the disassembly of a

pipe at the front end and

the back end of the spool or

pipe from the line.

POLYTUBE’s Lining Solutions is a “Turn-key” service that includes:

• The technical and economic proposal after the analysis of the

operational environment and piping conditions.

• The pipe internal surface preparation.

• The PolyTube™ materials and the anti-corrosion PolyFlake®

Coating System Resins.

• The application equipment, and tools.

• The test instruments for the validation of the application.

• The expert Applicator Team.

The table compares the expected life

of the coating technologies today

used duration before major damages

appear:

• Standard antifouling treatment

• Vulcanized rubber lining

• PolyFlake® Standard

Lining System and PolyTube™

Reverse Lining System

• Only PolyFlake® can handle

Chemicals & Acids – and maintain

full integrity.

• Other surface treatment like –

Rubber coating, hot-dip

Galvanizing, etc. will not allow for

the full waiver of protection.

PolyFlake® for PolyTube™

A PolyFlake® coated pipe is more

durable than the original

material.

PolyFlake replaces any inner

pipeline corrosion protection

system. Life-expectancy, well

over 25 years in seawater.

PolyFlake is convenient, the

application is fast, and in an

emergency, or on small surfaces,

can be done on-site by the ship’s

crew.

PolyFlake® coating is also

recommended on pipes in CuNi,

BzAl, Stainless Steel, and Carbon

Steel. Even when at the Class

minimum acceptable thickness,

PolyFlake extends the pipelines’

operational life.

A PolyFlake® & PolyTube coated

pipe can be flame cut - welded,

the flame damaged coating is

self-extinguishing and non-

propagating the flame; where

the coating is burnt, sanding the

area suffices, and re-application

of a new PolyFlake® resin will

perfectly bond to the existing

PolyTube™

PolyTube™ creates a pipe inside

a pipe and is corrosion and

pressure resistant, with minimal

flow restriction.

Burst pressure of the PolyTube™

is over 42bar (600 psi) at

ambient temperature

The highly flexible, single-layer

inversion liner PE-felt bonded to

an impermeable PU coating, is

capable of snaking multiple

bends up to 90° and transitions.

A specifically formulated two-

part epoxy resin system, 100%

solids, impregnates the liner

offering superior mechanical

properties, chemical resistance,

and adhesion to pipe materials,

even under very humid and wet

conditions.

As a part of the PolyTube™ lining

systems this resin is specially

designed for quick and easy

repairs, with excellent wet-out

capability, and low-odor, the no-

VOC formulation is also

available.

Modification and repairs can be

done with flameless technology.
