ContraTherm®
The ContraTherm® C55 subsea system is a multi-layer syntactic phenolic composite system with properties that can be tailored to meet specific subsea project requirements. The individual elements of the multi-layer system provide their own particular benefits and combine to provide a value for money solution.
Advanced Insulation Systems Ltd developed the ContraTherm® C55 subsea system specifically to meet the need for a resilient insulation material capable of tolerating the temperature and pressure extremes required for high temperature subsea developments. Its benefits include:
- excellent thermal insulation properties
- long term high temperature stability
- resistance to water ingress
- stability in water depths to 3000msw
- resistance to compression and impact loads
- long term structural stability (30 years+)
- ease of application, modification and repair
The ContraTherm® subsea system can be supplied either as a wet coating applied directly to the primed substrate in the field or as a pre-moulded engineered component. A combination of both methodologies may provide the best solution in certain applications.
