Thermotite (Polypropylene Foam)

Polypropylene Insulation Systems

Thermotite® is a polypropylene based foam subsea insulation system designed for flow assurance.

System Description:

• Layer 1,2,3: 3-layer anti-corrosion system - Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE), PP co-polymer adhesive and solid PP
• Layer 4: Thermal insulation - PP foam
• Layer 5: Mechanical and UV protective layer - solid PP

Superior Insulation Properties and Unmatched Mechanical Performance

• Lower thermal conductivity results in lower achievable U values
• Extended cool-down time
• The system can be installed using all subsea laying methods including reeling, S-lay and J-lay
• Mechanically resilient product constructed from impact resistant ductile materials
• The system is extensively tested for tensioner clamp loads, axial shear loads and fatigue, delivering excellent performance

FJ Compatibility

• Thermotite® IMPP
• Nemo 1.1
• Nemo 2.1
• Hybrid Solution

Value Added Services

• Streamlined delivery schedules, product standardization and quality assurance practices due to simplified processing operations
• Universally and readily available project management and logistics support from multiple existing plant locations
