orrosion protection of riser pipes, bends and clamps is a much addressed avenue in the Oil and Gas sector. Ocean Rubber Factory LLC has successfully come up with a solution in Corroline, which has already been tried and tested to withstand the harsh severity of the application in the Middle East.

orroline is a Neoprene (Polychloroprene) compound specially formulated to withstand heat, ozone, oxidising conditions and sea water. It also has an ability to discourage the growth of marine organisms. Corroline is designed for a service life of 25 years.

cean Rubber Factory LLC, in its continuous endeavour to improve quality, is the first in the area to introduce a fully automated extruder mounted coating plant specially installed for the riser pipes. It enhances the factory's ability to coat riser pipes up to 360 diameter and 12.60 metres long. Advantages include an error-free application thus providing a superior quality and performance of the coating.
The Corroline coating plant has the following salient features:
 | | Carriage mounted extruder |  | | Pressure rollers to stick the extrudate onto the surface of the pipe |  | | Automatic Nylon tape winding facility |  | | Capable of coating pipes of 30mm minimum to 1200mm maximum diameter and coating length of 100mm to 12,600mm | | | Extrudate thickness 2mm to 7mm and width of 30mm to 70mm |  | | Ability to add as many layers as needed to reach the required thickness |  | | Average output of 350 kg/hr |
