International Paint LLC Intertherm® 898 CSA

International Paint LLC, an AkzoNobel company, has introduced Intertherm® 898 CSA, a two-component cold spray aluminum-coating system specifically designed to help protect piping from corrosion and a wide range of temperatures with a single-coating solution.

The metallic flake pigmented coating is described as ideally suited for new pipe fabrication because of its flexibility in offering protection in temperature scenarios ranging from -265 to 1,050 degrees Fahrenheit, effectively eliminating the complex, time-consuming and costly task of specifying different paint systems when coating high volumes of insulated and uninsulated pipes.

The patented resin-based, single coat, high build system is said to also offer protection against corrosion under insulation (CUI) and can be applied using standard spray techniques and equipment. 800-525-6824, www.internationalpaint.com, www.coldsprayaluminum.com.
