Services Offered by DuraPol | Providing the optimum solution to prevent corrosion in processes unique to the client

Anti Corrosion Coating Polymer Research & Development

DuraPol conducts fundemental polymer research and formulation utilising REACH certified raw materials.

Collaborative work is undertaken with academic and research institutions using latest technological advances to evaluate their efficacy in our coatings.

Coating Manufacture

DuraPol coatings are manufactured to exacting standards at our custom designed polymer processing plant based in the UK. Dedicated process operatives take great care to ensure batch consistency.

All batches are tested prior to filling. Batch certificates are generated before goods leave the plant.

Corrosion Inspection and Coating Specification

Specifiers must ensure new equipment is effectively protected at point of construction. DuraPol coatings enable engineers to factor-out corrosion and the corresponding corrosion allowance at the design stage. The result is a dramatic reduction in steel consumption.

Project Supervision Services

On site supervision by DuraPol engineers and approved local personnel is vital to the success of the project. This is especially important as site contractors and their employees are always changing. Supervision consists of scaffolding design planning, application equipment approval and maintenance where required, surface preparation and coating application. Quality checks and testing occur at each stage. Final quality checks on the applied coating are undetaken alongside testing of sample plates coated at the same time as the mian application.

Offering training and supervison for the duration of the applicaiton not only provides compliance with specifications it ensures a trouble free faster application. This provides peace of mind and confidence to the client and allows us to offer product performance guarantees.

Coating Selection Fit for Service

Time after time DuraPol has provided optimum solutions to prevent corrosion in equipment where processes are unique to the client. This has been accomplished not by chance but by understanding the process and undertaking a rigorous coating evaluation program that includes:

Expose fully coated sample coupons to the process. Partly coated sample coupons are used to highlight the coatings ability to withstand undercutting. Assessing this property is vital if only specific corrosion affected areas are to be treated.
Apply coating to a small critical area of the equipment.
Full scale field testing. Coating performance is assessed during T&I.
Third party laboratory testing of coating to approve in specific process.
Study coating track record to identify suitability of coating in similar processes.

Surface Preparation a Must

DuraPol engineers are keen to ensure every sqm of surface to be protected is properly decontaminated and prepared before any DuraPol coating is applied.

New Equipment

Specifiers must ensure new equipment is effectively protected at point of construction. DuraPol coatings enable engineers to factor-out corrosion and the corresponding corrosion allowance at the design stage. The result is a dramatic reduction in steel consumption.

Old Equipment

The choice to refurbish instead of replace is a benefit to all industries by saving not only time, but money. When equipment and infrastructure experience routine or unexpected maintenance DuraPol understands the determining factors for selecting the optimum solution. This must be implemented within the allotted downtime using approved materials.

Our coating solutions offer a simple, safe, and effective alternative that include features seldom found elsewhere:

In situ repairs which drastically reduce time and avoid costly removal of parts
Cold cure that do not pose the dangers of hot work
Ease in application allowing for in-house repairs
Quick cure to service for minimum disruption to plant operation
