Durable coatings for fossil power plants

As the fossil fuel energy market evolves, producers are working to improve efficiency and lower operating costs. PPG solutions can help enhance asset reliability, reduce build and maintenance costs and extend the service life of power plants. We provide advanced coating systems for coal, natural gas and combined-cycle plants. From turbines to cooling towers, our solutions deliver reliable protection at every stage of operation.

Defending internal and external plant assets 

PPG coatings are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of the fossil power industry, including harsh weather, extreme operating temperatures and corrosive chemicals and flue gases. With versatile application procedures, fast-curing properties and flexible recoat intervals, our solutions streamline project schedules while providing long-lasting durability.

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.
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.

Case study | Refurbishment distillation columns
PPG was chosen to provide high-temperature protection at a plant facility, the only manufacturer of methanol in New Zealand. This product has been specifically developed to prevent corrosion under insulation with protection for these extreme temperature conditions.

Managers of facilities with extensive hot processes face the challenge of completing maintenance work only during outages. Many believe they must shut down the facility to carry out coatings work in areas with elevated temperatures, but this is not always necessary.
