20 May 2009

First of all Accoat would like to thank all the visitors for taking the time visiting our booth during the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) exhibition in Houston.

Key topic at OTC
The main subject at OTC was: High-tech internal coating of Downhole Production Tubing. In other words Accoat had the pleasure to present visitors to our brand new product from DuPont™ named StreaMax™ which is a family name of fluoropolymer coatings specially developed for the Oil and Gas industry.

Vital benefits in regards fluoropolymers coatings and StreaMaxTM for the Oil and Gas industry
Much discussed at OTC was the following summarized subjects:

Fluoropolymer coatings
These are specially designed to maximize well productivity and production rates by:

  • Minimizing production interruptions by reducing the number of shutdowns for tubular cleanup
  • Significantly reducing internal buildup of asphaltenes paraffin’s and scale
  • Reducing fluid flow friction in tubular.

Minimize overall maintenance costs from:

  • Sweet and sour gases in the fluid stream
  • Bacterial accumulation inside tubular.

Reduce overall maintenance costs:

  • May permit use of common steel pipe in place of alloy steel for corrosion. Avoids lengthy deliver times for special alloys.
  • Reduce risk of reservoir damage by minimizing use of chemicals and solvents.
  • Minimize solvent treatment costs.


All DuPont™ StreaMax™ coatings have the following characteristics:

  • Multilayered system, each layer has a specific engineered function.
  • Excellent holiday free surface throughout the pipe
  • Excellent adhesion to bare metal
  • Excellent non-stick and product release properties
  • Extremely wide operating temperature range
