Revolutionary HPC® Coatings Ceramics Thermal Insulation Address CUI, Cost Savings, Carbon & Safety
Australian Mining Review – May 2024
In an era where sustainability, energy efficiency and cost control are paramount for transforming business, the current methods of insulation are failing.
The advent of proven and long established ceramic thermal insulation coatings represents a monumental shift in mining and energy sustainability practices. One of the most notable breakthroughs in this field comes from Superior Products International II, Inc., with their HPC® Coating.
This innovation has not only earnt a first with the prestigious EPA ENERGY STAR Energy Saving Award but has also set a new standard in addressing the perennial issue of corrosion under insulation (CUI), decarbonisation and cost savings.
The real-world efficacy of HPC® Coating has been proven in some of the most challenging environments. For instance, its application on Mexico’s Pemex Offshore Crude Piping in 2014 showcased its ability to withstand harsh oceanic conditions while providing energy efficiency, reducing maintenance, and preventing corrosion ten years later. This level of performance has solidified HPC® Coating’s reputation as a reliable and effective solution for thermal insulation and corrosion prevention unmatched by any other in the market. Ten years later the coating is holding strong with no maintenance, no shutdown and no corrosion. More >
Georgia-Pacific Receives EPA ENERGY STAR Award for HPC® Coating
Georgia Pacific – October 2023
Outstanding NEWS: Georgia-Pacific Receives US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR. The recognition comes for their efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce corrosion in Koch manufacturing assets with HPC® Coating.
Together with FHR, GP tested a wide range of insulation options to protect manufacturing equipment and found a solution: HPC® Coating ceramic insulation spray. HPC® Coating reduces heat loss, prevents corrosion, and can be applied to equipment that operates at temperatures up to 1,200°F or 650°C.
The fully insulated digester reduced heat loss by 49% and saved Naheola an estimated $332,000 in energy costs annually. It also improved the quality of the cooking process by allowing the digester to better maintain its internal temperature.
Manufactured by SPI Coatings, HPC® Coating based on ceramics formulations is without doubt the leader in its field for performance, durability, energy savings and experience. Read the article >
Cool roofs and how to get them: City of Adelaide Council trials a space-age ceramic coating as temperatures skyrocket
The Fifth Estate – May 2022
City of Adelaide Council is partnering with the University of Adelaide to trial the use of a ceramic cool roof coating called Super Therm, originally developed with NASA, that is more effective at blocking heat than an ordinary white roof.
Rising global temperatures are creating a hotter and drier climate that makes the urban heat island effect more intense, particularly in dense inner-urban areas such as the Adelaide CBD.
At the same time, the need for greater energy efficiency in buildings and cut airconditioning costs means there’s a greater need for products that can help to passively cool buildings.
But while white or lighter coloured roofs are more effective than dark roofs at blocking visual light from the sun, they do little to block the ultraviolet radiation that causes sunburn or the infra-red rays that are felt as heat.
This is important, because short-wave visual light radiation makes up only around 44 per cent of the heat from the sun, with around 53 per cent coming from infrared radiation and a further 3 per cent from UV. More > or See the Trial >
Tough Coatings Used Around the World
Australian Mining Review – May 2021
NEOtech Coatings Australia offers a range of core coatings solutions that have been individually tried and tested across every continent globally in partnership with the likes of NASA and Chevron.
Working with the U.S. based developer and manufacturer Superior Products International, II Inc. (“SPI”), NEOtech Coatings provides leading innovative insulation and corrosion protection coating solutions with proven success in the oil, gas and mining industries worldwide.
Australian Mining Review spoke to Director of NEOtech Coatings Shane Strudwick and SPI International Sales Manager Arin Shahmoradian about how these coatings are improving energy efficiency, safety and environmental outcomes while saving time and money.
And while these coatings deliver outstanding results on their own, Shane and Arin explain how the main point of difference lies in how the products work together as a system to solve even the most difficult problems in the toughest industrial environments. More >
