Flow assurance is a major issue in the deeper and colder waters where the industry typically works today. 3M’s pipeline insulation technology is specially designed to help overcome this challenge.
The high strength and low thermal conductivity of 3M™ Glass Bubbles make them ideal additives in pipeline and riser insulation. These inert particles are compatible with virtually all chemicals used in the insulating system, including polypropylene, polyuretherane and epoxy.
