A Cost Effective and Viable Solution to Pipeline Corrosion
Every pipeline system is susceptible to corrosion. Even a brand-new system can show signs of destructive wear in as little as two years after installation. Therefore, using a high-quality coating is crucial.
To keep your offshore structures lasting for years to come, we’ve developed SplashTRON® and ThermoTRON®.
SplashTRON®
SplashTRON® pipeline coating prevents biofouling, provides quick and durable protection against corrosion and other structural threats, and can last for over 30 years.
It can withstand even the harshest conditions and is typically used on:

ThermoTRON®
ThermoTRON® is a high-temperature, wet insulation coating that can be used to protect subsea tiebacks, flow lines, pipelines, and more. It can insulate up to 350°F without bending, cracking, or disbonding as your pipe bends.
This coating is strategically made using three critical layers:

Splash Zone Protection
MARK Tool has become the leader in splash zone protection and SplashTRON® because the company took a comprehensive approach to developing the ultimate pipeline coating product for “splash zone” protection.
The “splash zone,” that area immediately above and below the mean water level, has long been of major concern to design and corrosion engineers of offshore installations.
Tides cause the water level to rise and fall, alternately wetting and drying exposed metal surfaces, such as offshore oil and gas platform legs and risers.
The brackish water and exposure to oxygen is corrosive, the wave action is constantly eroding the metal members, and debris and boats come in contact with the metal to cause damage. Most common areas affected are riser clamps, J-Tubes, bends, spools, and pipe field joints.
The metal, which is constantly submerged, can usually be protected by cathodic means, but that won’t work in the “splash zone” because the water level is constantly changing. The areas well above this zone, which are exposed only to the atmosphere, can be protected with various paints and zinc coatings, but must be reapplied when necessary.
Using ineffective protection methods
Protecting the “splash zone” with traditional above and below solutions have proven unsatisfactory. Monel jackets welded to the metal surface, special coatings and sprayed-on paint, and even making the metal components thicker, of course, are not effective in the “splash zone.”
The criteria for successful “splash zone” protection consists of the following requirements:
