The True Value of Durable High-Performance Offshore Coatings The cheapest coating is the one that you don’t have to replace. In an industry where frequent failures and life cycles of just months at a time are the norm, this idea may sound like something closer to a pipe dream than a reality. However, we’re here to turn the industry’s expectations of coating durability on its head with real data which opens a compelling case that: Today’s offshore coatings are NOT being formulated for success in real-world applications, and… They SHOULD be held to a [...]

TESLAN® 1105L: Single Coat Epoxy for High Impact Areas

2024-11-26T18:59:33+00:00November 26, 2024|

TESLAN® 1105L: Single Coat Epoxy for High Impact Areas When you hear the word “holiday”, what comes to mind? While most can’t help but grin and begin to daydream about their next vacation, no other word can instill a similar sense of dread in the world of offshore fabric maintenance. In this context, a holiday refers to any instance of discontinuity in a paint film- a spot missed here, a smudge there. And anywhere it looks like the coating packed its bags and took a holiday, you can be sure that corrosion will [...]

Eliminate Stripe Coating with TESLAN

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 [...]

What Makes TESLAN a Unique Protective Coating?

Discover What Makes TESLAN a Unique Protective Coating How Carbon Nanotubes Reduce Mechanical Damage Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are tubular particles comprised of a single layer of carbon atoms, which are dwarfed by the size of a human hair. Despite their nanoscopic size, CNTs- the strongest material known to man- demonstrate incredible strength when synthesized with epoxy coatings. At Tesla NanoCoatings, we have engineered protective coatings that demonstrate all the best properties of CNTs to guard your steel assets. These protective qualities are not just complemented, but further elevated in our coatings by the addition of zinc. Carbon Nanotubes: [...]
