A two part silicone rubber designed as a flexible, insulation for use on subsea energy production equipment. This material cures at room temperature through an addition-reaction cure in unlimited thickness, regardless of part configuration or degree of confinement. It maintains excellent stability even in extreme conditions.

Uses:

Subsea equipment components subjected to deep-water immersion

Benefits:

Thermal stability across a wide temperature range
Good insulating properties for longer cool down times
Excellent flexibility and resistance to cracking
Easier processing for simple and complex structures
Joint integrity with strong silicone-to-silicone bonding
Fast addition-reaction cure at ambient temperatures in unlimited thickness; can be accelerated with heat

Subsea insulation

DOWSIL™ XTI-1003 RTV Silicone Rubber Insulation – proven solid silicone insulation for subsea flow assurance.

Protect subsea equipment with advanced, non-syntactic silicone insulation

Based on solid silicone science, DOWSIL XTI-1003 RTV Silicone Rubber Insulation is designed to help achieve a more reliable, cost-efficient and lower-risk subsea wet insulation system for HP/HT equipment used in deepwater production and tieback systems. The "pure silicone" technology has potential advantages over syntactic urethanes, epoxies and silicones to help prevent flowline blockages and provide specified no-touch times for shutdowns.

Our non-syntactic, two-part, room-temperature-curing thermal insulation solution, DOWSIL XTI-1003 RTV Silicone Rubber Insulation, offers:

High performance – To help operators meet specified needs for structural and thermal integrity in high-temperature/high-pressure environments.
Ease of application – To ensure reliable performance by helping coating specialists reduce process inconsistencies and optimize quality control.
