Protecting assets on land and at sea

Oil and gas facilities at the intersection of land and sea face unique challenges. Constantly exposed to the elements, offshore assets are exposed to severe wet-dry cycling, saltwater, extreme temperatures, UV radiation and abrasion. Infrastructure must be protected to ensure uninterrupted operation and long-term reliability. PPG’s systems are engineered to minimize costly repairs and extend maintenance intervals to protect assets in the world’s harshest marine environments. 

Built to withstand extreme environments

PPG delivers advanced coating solutions tailored for extreme offshore oil and gas environments. From drillships to floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units, our coatings ensure reliable asset protection, operational efficiency and proven performance that withstands relentless environmental stresses, both above and below the waterline. 

Proven track record on over 800 new offshore vessels worldwide  
Heat-resistant coatings for prevention of corrosion under insulation (CUI) 
Coatings with longer shelf lives for transportation and storage needs 
Coatings to withstand aggressive salt, humidity and UV exposure

Article | Coatings designed for offshore energy
Offshore oil and gas platforms require coatings that go beyond corrosion resistance. The coatings must also withstand exposure to aggressive chemicals and hydrocarbons, maintain their protective qualities in extreme temperatures and endure the physical stresses associated with deepsea operations.
White paper | Exceeding UL's durability standards
From the construction of hydrocarbon processing facilities with exceedingly harsh climates, to more complex fire scenarios that can potentially involve cryogenic spills and explosions in both onshore and offshore environments, requirements for PFP certification standards have evolved.
White paper | Passive fire protection performance
When evaluating coatings, specifiers must look beyond the fire-rating. This is true for all PFP coatings types, but especially so for intumescent epoxy coatings, which are increasingly preferred over traditional cement- and fiber-based materials due to their lightness, flexibility, performance and ease of application.
Brochure | PPG HI-TEMP™ 1027 coating
Cracking and delamination caused by thermal shock allows water to come into contact with insulated steel and is therefore a major cause of CUI. PPG Hi-Temp™ 1027 heat-resistant technology is able to withstand cyclic conditions in the cryogenic temperature range through to an elevated temperature of 650°C (1,200°F), with no affect on the coating.
