HPC® Coating – Pemex Offshore Thermal Insulation

SPI Coatings’ application on Pemex Oil’s offshore crude piping in the Gulf of Mexico was applied in 2014. This showcases the coatings’ ability to withstand harsh oceanic conditions while preventing corrosion and maintaining significant temperature reductions over time including withstanding hurricane winds.
