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, [...]

Protective Coatings for Offshore Oil and Gas

Protective Coatings for Offshore Oil and Gas The Status Quo in Offshore Coating Systems The offshore oil and gas industry has experienced rapid growth for years. As more offshore structures are planned, manufactured, and built, it is critical to ensure their longevity despite operating in some of the harshest conditions for steel structures in the world. To protect these precious assets, many companies turn to protective coatings which meet the ISO 12944-9 standard. From the ISO website, the abstract on standard 12944-9 notes the following: “ISO 12944-9:2018 specifies the performance requirements for protective paint [...]

Improve Sustainability with Low-VOC Epoxy Primers & Topcoats

Enhance Sustainability with Low-VOC Coating Solutions Sustainability can be an intimidating notion for our customers in the oil and gas industry. As environmental concerns regarding fossil fuels from the general public seem to increase exponentially every year, many oil, gas, and other industrial companies have begun setting sustainability initiatives. Some are choosing to pivot away from their oil and gas roots altogether. However, a drastic or rushed solution can lead to unforeseen pitfalls. In order for companies to effectively transition to more sustainable practices, it is imperative that they work steadily toward realistic, achievable goals, rather than rushing [...]
