PPG introduces silicone-based hydrophobic, spray-on thermal insulation

Pittsburgh, PA – PPG introduces Pitt-Therm 909 Spray-On Insulation (SOI) coating. Engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of the oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, and infrastructure sectors, this silicone-based coating offers unparalleled asset protection, surface safety, and operational efficiency.

Compared to traditional mechanical and conventional spray insulation, PPG Pitt-Therm 909 SOI coating delivers superior corrosion resistance by preventing moisture buildup, ensuring prolonged asset lifespan and reducing maintenance costs. Its high heat resistance withstands temperatures up to 260°C (500°F) and includes effective condensation control to maintain surface temperatures above the dew point. By minimizing the risk of corrosion under insulation (CUI), PPG Pitt-Therm 909 SOI coating can potentially help reduce up to 60% of pipe maintenance costs1 associated with traditional methods.

Formulated to be safe to touch up to 154°C (310°F)^, PPG Pitt-Therm 909 SOI coating minimizes burn risks, promoting a safer working environment and peace of mind.

With a direct-to-metal, high-build thickness of up to 250 mils (6.35 mm) per coat, PPG Pitt-Therm 909 SOI coating requires fewer coats, saving time, labor costs, and energy losses*. It dries quickly, under 1.5 hours to touch at 25°C (77°F), and can be hot applied on operational equipment up to 148°C (300°F) and cold applied to temperatures as low as -196°C (-321°F), reducing downtime. Its dry-fall formula minimizes overspray mess, ensuring quick cleanup.

Tested rigorously to meet ASTM standards for thermal conductivity, personal protection, and fire safety, PPG Pitt-Therm 909 SOI coating ensures uncompromised reliability and compliance in every application.

Perfect for tanks, pipelines, and vessels, PPG Pitt-Therm 909 SOI coating is a reliable solution against corrosion and environmental challenges in critical infrastructure.
