Conventional waterborne acrylic or epoxy-based SOI coatings cannot be used on equipment operating above 350 F (177 C). Silicone-based PPG Pitt-Therm 909 coating offers much greater temperature resistance; thermal testing shows that it endures continuous and cyclic temperatures as high as 500 F, and by reducing heat transfer, external surfaces remain safe to touch at up to 310 F, significantly reducing the risk of burns.
Application testing of PPG Pitt-Therm 909 coating has also shown that fewer coats are necessary compared to traditional SOI coatings, providing operational efficiency benefits for customers. It can be applied in thicknesses of up to 250 mils (6.35 mm) per coat and depending on the specific application requirements, only one or two coats are needed, substantially cutting down the time and cost of the insulation process. Despite the reduced number of layers, it can achieve a higher total coating thickness of up to 500 mils and cure times are comparable to competing products.
Application to both hot and cold substrates is also viable, allowing assets to remain in service during application – a significant advantage over traditional methods that require operational shutdowns.
“PPG Pitt-Therm 909 coating represents our team’s ongoing commitment to advancing industry standards through innovation,” said
PPG Pitt-Therm 909 coating also addresses critical challenges of traditional mechanical insulation systems, notably their susceptibility to moisture absorption and corrosion under insulation (CUI). Water-repellent PPG Pitt-Therm 909 has demonstrated exceptional corrosion resistance in rigorous testing. Results show that it is an optimal solution for CUI prevention for reduced maintenance costs, operational shutdowns and safety incidents.
