NORSOK Standard

Admin2024-08-07T13:19:26+00:00August 7, 2024|

The “Evolution” of The NORSOK Standard Although the NORSOK M-501 and the ISO 12944-9 standards have continued to change every few years since their inception, today’s coatings are still failing in the same ways that their predecessors from previous decades did. If the standards are changing with the goal of raising quality with each iteration, why has coating performance not improved drastically since the introduction of these standards? What are we as an industry not doing to improve the performance of our coating systems across the board? From our perspective, we suspect that the issue [...]

ISO 12944-9 Best Practices

Admin2024-07-23T23:13:15+00:00July 23, 2024|

Achieve ISO 12944-9 Compliance & Optimal Corrosion Protection With the extreme challenges related to corrosion that come with extended exposure to the offshore environment, there’s absolutely no room for sub-par protective coatings for metallic structures. Today’s customers can’t afford to find out that a protective coating doesn’t meet their expectations after it’s already been applied- but with extravagant marketing claims abound, how can customers shop smarter and verify the validity of those claims? That’s where the International Standards Organization, or ISO, comes in. In today’s blog, we go over helpful tips and best practices to [...]

Essential Strategies for Offshore Corrosion at Tesla NanoCoatings

Essential Strategies for Offshore Corrosion Prevention

Admin2024-12-17T06:13:37+00:00May 29, 2024|

Essential Strategies for Offshore Corrosion Prevention & Control The best offense is a great defense. While this phrase is most commonly used in reference to sports strategies, it also rings true in the field of offshore corrosion prevention. Think about it: the best way to fight against corrosion is to prevent it from happening in the first place. At Tesla NanoCoatings, that notion is exactly what we’ve dedicated our work to. In today’s article, we’ll be going over a few of the reasons that we find our approach to be the most strategic- and how [...]

What You Need to Know About ISO 12944-9

Admin2024-10-04T06:25:08+00:00May 15, 2024|

What You Need to Know About IS0 12944-9 In the offshore industry, using a protective coating that meets well-established quality standards can be the difference between guaranteed, long-lasting performance and premature failure. One such standard that has become a focal point for protecting steel structures in corrosive environments is ISO 12944-9. This standard is part of a larger collection, ISO 12944, that guides the protection of carbon steel structures against corrosion with the use of paint coating systems. Part 9 of the ISO 12944 standard specifically addresses testing methods for protective coatings that are subjected [...]

Nanomaterials in The Protective Coatings Industry

Admin2024-10-04T06:17:04+00:00May 2, 2024|

Nanomaterials in the Protective Coatings Industry Nanomaterials may be some of the smallest substances known to man, but in the world of coatings they’ve grown to be a pretty big deal. In just the past couple decades, nanomaterials have gone from being little more than a novel concept to becoming a key player in the advancement of coating technology as we know it, all thanks to the research and implementation by a very select few. In today’s article we’ll be exploring the history, current role, and future of nanomaterials in protective coatings for industrial grade [...]

Protective Offshore Coatings in The Gulf of Mexico

Admin2024-10-04T06:43:30+00:00March 28, 2024|

Preserving Platforms in The Gulf with Splash Zone Coatings The Gulf of Mexico is home to over 4,000 offshore oil and gas platforms, making it one of the most active regions for offshore drilling in the world. These platforms are essential for extracting oil and gas, but the harsh environmental conditions that they face can lead to deterioration and structural failures if not properly addressed. For that reason, it is crucial for owners of offshore assets to take action against the risks of offshore corrosion– especially at the splash zone. We recognize that protective coatings like [...]

Combatting Corrosion with Offshore Oil & Gas Coatings

Admin2024-10-04T06:36:08+00:00March 14, 2024|

Combatting Corrosion with Offshore Oil & Gas Coatings Offshore oil and gas operations are a vital part of the global energy industry. These operations involve the extraction of oil and gas from deep-sea reserves, often in harsh and corrosive environments. As such, it is crucial to protect offshore structures and equipment from corrosion to ensure safe and efficient operations. One of the most effective ways to do so in offshore environments is through the use of specialized coatings. Why Are Offshore Oil & Gas Coatings Important? Offshore structures and equipment are constantly exposed to harsh [...]

Saving time with Tesla NanoCoatings' two coat system

Save Time with Tesla NanoCoatings’ Two-Coat System

Admin2024-10-04T06:23:23+00:00February 22, 2024|

Save Time with Tesla NanoCoatings’ Two-Coat System Coating application is more often than not a time consuming process. Not only does the application itself require the attention and energy of skilled personnel, but operations come to a halt as areas are shut off for extended periods of time during the application and dry times of a coating. In our previous article we discussed how Tesla NanoCoatings’ patented 2×1 Wet Edge™ technology eliminates the need for stripe coating when painting steel structures. While Wet Edge technology plays an incredibly significant factor in reducing coating application time, [...]

Eliminate Stripe Coating with TESLAN

Admin2024-11-07T07:49:20+00:00January 25, 2024|

Eliminate Stripe Coating with TESLAN The Challenge: Edge Retention When it comes to protective coatings, one of the biggest challenges of the application process is the principle of edge retention. Loosely defined, edge retention is the notion of sufficient, evenly distributed coating thickness over sharp edges and inside of crevices. These shapes are incredibly common in steel structures, in the form of welded joints, angle steel, and many more. These corners, while not necessarily difficult to apply a coating to, tend to be the source of many offshore paint system failures. Why is that? The application [...]

Tesla NanoCoatings Revolutionizes Offshore Wind Protection

Admin2024-10-04T06:17:48+00:00December 14, 2023|

Protective Coatings for Offshore Wind Turbine Foundations Offshore wind turbines are becoming an increasingly popular source of renewable energy, with the potential to power millions of homes. However, these structures are constantly exposed to harsh environmental conditions, including saltwater, high winds, and extreme temperatures. This makes it crucial to have protective coatings in place to ensure the longevity and efficiency of these turbines. Historically, protective coatings for offshore wind turbine foundations have been riddled with compromise. However, Tesla NanoCoatings has set its sights on the offshore wind industry to deliver a solution that is cost-effective, [...]
