GALVESTON, Texas – BASF is showing its Elastoshore glass syntactic polyurethane (GSPU) for subsea pipeline protection and thermal installation at the Subsea Tieback Forum & Exhibition in Galveston, Texas, March 2-4.
The products are for wet insulation of ultra deepwater flowlines and subsea structures and use BASF’s mercury-free, high performance material. BASF says Elastoshore holds the record for deepwater GSPU application at more than 2,900 m (9,514 ft).
BASF says the GSPU can be applied in several places offshore such as pipeline strakes and rigid foam pipe insulation.
