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
