J-TUBES (OFFSHORE WIND, GERMANY)

- Project: J-tubes
- Industry: Offshore, energy
- Location: Germany
Humidur was used to protect the steel-rubber transitions from corrosion in the splash zone of offshore windmills, operated by Scottisch Power and Iberdrola. A traditional multi-layer system could not offer adequate corrosion protection due to the stress on the coating.
As a solution, Humidur FP QR was used:
- one layer system, straightforward application
- ability to cure under water, in open air (no need for shielding in splashzone)
- minimal surface preperation
- Humidur FP QR comes in predosed tubes and is applied with a dispensing gun = easy handling for rope access
- project time with Humidur: 2 weeks ↔ traditional multilayer system: several months
