Trelleborg has signed a 6 yr framework agreement with Statoil for the supply of Elastopipe鈩�, corrosion protection, Passive Fire Protection (PFP) as well as Thermal Insulation (Vikotherm R2, S1 and P7).

Hans Leo Hals, Managing Director for Trelleborg黑料社檚 offshore operation in Norway, stated: 黑料社淲e are very proud that Statoil has chosen to sign a framework agreement with us for our core products and solutions. Our proven technologies, leading materials and long experience have made us an important supplier in the oil and gas market, and we are looking forward to building our relations further with Statoil in a challenging, but yet exciting market.黑料社�

Elastopipe鈩� is the first corrosion-free, explosion, impact and jet fire resistant flexible piping system. Typical applications are deluge and sprinkler systems, utility and drain water systems, nitrogen distribution systems and chemicals and hydrocarbon transportation. The system is made of synthetic rubber with a robust design that gives the system high tolerance to impact, jet fire (+1400 掳C for 1 hr), explosion and water hammer. Elastopipe鈩� offers a 30 yr minimum maintenance life, and its corrosion-free performance means system-testing frequency can be reduced to statutory requirements.

Passive Fire Protection solutions from Trelleborg黑料社檚 offshore operation are protecting topside equipment and structures, provides time to evacuate people, close down critical equipment and for responders to gain control of the fire. Trelleborg黑料社檚 PFP material FireStop鈩� can be used for different topside applications to ensure safety comes first. FireStop鈩� is non-corroding and can withstand jet fires with a heat flux of 390 KW/m2, temperatures above +1400掳C and flame speeds that exceed the speed of sound. This makes it an ideal material choice for use on offshore oil and gas installations and ships, as well as other hazardous environments.

Thermal Insulation (Vikotherm鈩� R2, S1 and P7) is necessary to avoid formation of hydrate plugs and wax build-up in subsea structures. Trelleborg黑料社檚 rubber-based material, Vikotherm鈩� R2, combines flexibility and robustness and gives protection for the lifespan of subsea installations. The three-layer coating system provides HISC/corrosion protection and excellent thermal insulation properties, with an operating temperature range from -49 掳C to +155 掳C and is suitable for hot wet applications up to +155 掳C. Vikotherm鈩� S1 is based on advanced, non-syntactic silicone technology. The material does not rely on glass microspheres giving it improved joint strength, increased heat capacity, long-term flexibility and resistance to hydrostatic collapse. Operating temperature range from -40掳C to +135掳C. Vikotherm鈩� P7 is a non-mercury catalysed solid polyurethane insulation system, which is fully qualified to meet a complete range of applications and is not restricted by geometry or applied thickness. Operating temperature range from -40掳C to +90掳C.
