Combat the biggest challenge in the industry
Corrosion under insulation (CUI) occurs under all types of insulation and is one of the top concerns facing industry today. It can lead to increased maintenance costs and may cause pipe leaks or even ruptures. CUI is expensive, accounting for an estimated 10% of overall maintenance costs and 40-60% of pipeline maintenance costs in the oil and gas industry.
Only ROCKWOOL Technical Insulation products contain WR-Tech™, a patent-pending water repellent technology that gives you the superior performance of stone wool, while providing 5x lower water absorption at operating temperatures, so your equipment will last longer and perform better.
WR-Tech is a winner of the 2019 Materials Performance Corrosion Innovation of the Year Award as a revolutionary solution for combatting corrosion. The awards celebrate cutting-edge technologies that are at the forefront of the war on corrosion.
WR-Tech incorporates a revolutionary coating-friendly (silicone oil free) binder technology (inorganic hydrophobic resin) that coats each individual fiber of ROCKWOOL’s stone wool insulation during the production process providing a uniform distribution of the additive that repels water and mitigates the effects of corrosion under insulation (CUI).
