Extending the lifetime of your assets

TSA reduces the risks and costs of Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) and Chloride-Induced Stress Corrosion Cracking (CISCC): 

  • Unexpected leaks 
  • Production losses 
  • Personal injuries 
  • Asset damage 
  • Increased Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) 
  • Erection and removal of scaffolding 
  • Removal and re-installation of insulation 
  • Adverse publicity 
  • Unwanted attention of regulatory agencies

The industry solution for CUI

TSA is recognized as a well-proven and cost-effective solution for CUI by: 

  • NACE 
  • EFC 
  • NORSOK 
  • US Navy 
  • Shell 
  • ExxonMobil 
  • Dow

TSA's unique feature is that it provides dual protection from chloride-induced rust and stress corrosion cracking by acting as both a barrier and a sacrificial anode.

Proven track record over 50 years of service.

TSA provides several advantages: 

  • Has a proven track record of over 50 years of service on a wide variety of components in a wide variety of service conditions 
  • Can provide inspection-free protection for over 25 years 
  • Is guided by publicly-available specifications and standards 
  • Protects both carbon and stainless steels 
  • Tolerates mechanical damage without loss of protection 
  • Significantly reduces CUI-related inspection and maintenance for the design lives of coated components 
  • Eliminates volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their environmental impact and reporting requirements 
  • Can be applied to live components and at high or low temperatures 
  • Remains protective at high or low temperatures, and throughout temperature cycling

Significant cost savings for maintenance over the lifetime of your assets

TSA's advantages lead to the following benefits: 

  • Saves significant costs, both directly and indirectly 
  • Removes CUI inspection and remediation from turnaround planning and scheduling 
  • Frees RBI resources for other tasks
