North-east company GCG Group has launched an exclusive new coating product for the oil and gas industry.
PPC 553 is a spray-applied coating for subsea and topside equipment which provides lifetime protection from corrosive elements.
The solvent-free coating can be applied to almost any surface with minimal preparation required.
It dries in seconds, which then allows assets to go back in production almost immediately.
Because it lasts significantly longer than the traditional coatings, the downtime involved in recoating and maintenance is dramatically reduced.
GCG Group, a Peterhead based company which specialises in long-lasting coatings for the energy sector, has an exclusive licence to apply the substance for the oil and gas industry worldwide.
managing director Michael Gaffney said: “We are absolutely delighted to introduce this revolutionary new coating to the oil and gas industry.
“As the equipment in the north sea ages, asset integrity becomes more vital than ever.
“PPC 553 is by far the longest-lasting coating available and will slash the number of times an asset has to come out of production to be maintained.”
