Axalta adds to Nap-Gard internal coating range
Axalta Coating Systems has added two new high tempera- ture, corrosion-resistant internal pipe coating grades to its Nap-GardFunctional Coatings product line. The new Nap-Gard 7-0017HT and 7-0017VHT Black Beauty FBE products are thermosetting epoxy powders designed to provide a high level of chemical resistance when operating at temperatures up to 200o
C (392o F).
“Axalta is excited to bring these highly effective func- tional products to the oil and gas industry,” said Meghan Hodge, Axalta Global Product Marketing Manager, Func- tional Coatings. “Our new high temperature internal pipe coatings are formulated to provide superior corrosion
MAINTENANCE Simplified chip infilling
Oxifree Global says its Polymelt Service Gun SG1 provides users with a means to fill in small areas in its Oxifree TM198 coating after removal for inspections or repair, simplifying in-field maintenance considerably. “After consultation and feedback with our clients and representatives, it was clear there was a need for a compact, lightweight solution for small coating touch ups,” says Ed Hall, Managing Director at Oxifree Global. Oxifree TM198 thermoplastic coating is a
patent protected, organic, self-lubricating coating for the protection of metal compo- nents. It was developed by Oxifree Global to help reduce the cost of maintenance. TM198 lasts several years and has been proven to extend the lifecycle of compo-

nents, reducing maintenance costs by at least 40%, the company says. The SG1 allows end users to
undertake inspections by removing small amounts of the TM198 coating material to view the substrate, then simply reapply material without the need to move around a large unit. “Oxifree’s unique TM198 coating and
Oxitape offer unbeatable protection against corrosion. These, combined with the new SG1 – which can be operated by the end user and doesn’t require a technician to be sent to site – will make inspections and mainte- nance in the field much easier and cost effective for asset owners,” claims Hall. ❙
