Success Stories
TITANIUM STRESS JOINT RUBBER COATING REPAIR
Problem
The Titanium Stress Joint, TSJ, rubber coating is damaged from unexpected loop current event during J-Lay.
Conditions
TSJ was inspected to verify that there was no damage to titanium. In this case, all damage was localized in rubber coating.
Solution
Petrolatum Tape undercoating applied for water-proofing and corrosion protection. Syntho-Glass protective outer wrap was applied over a Petrolatum Tape providing mechanical and impact strength.
Result
The TSJ rubber coating repair was completed in a matter of 30 minutes and J-Lay continued. RTIES customers have successfully performed offshore TSJ rubber coating repairs using the Syntho-Shield system, both on-deck and underwater.
