Snokote® CL
Snokote CL extends the operational life of ROV lift umbilicals and wire rope cables by providing corrosion
control and lubrication in marine and seawater environment.
Environmentally safe
Long lasting – highly resistant to water washout
In marine, offshore, and other corrosive environments, corrosion is often seen within just weeks, drastically shortening the life of equipment. Corrosion relentlessly attacks unprotected metals. Applying protective coatings that don’t last long and wash away, is not the most effective and best use of your money, time, and manpower.
Snokote, manufactured by Rovsco, Inc. in Houston, Texas,offers a long lasting solution to this problem.
It was specifically designed for use in environments where rust and corrosion are problematic. After application, Snokote bonds with the metal to form a long-lasting barrier against moisture and other corrosive elements. Snokote requires no curing time and stays in place during the harshest operating conditions.
Flanges in LNG plants, chemical plants, refineries, offshore platforms, onshore oilfields, ships, paper mills, and underground pipelines are the most common trouble areas when it comes to corrosion, especially the flange voids and crevices. Corrosion and eventual breakdown of the metal which causes leaks around seals and gaskets can be hazardous and may result in safety violations. Repair or replacement of corroded flanges causes lengthy downtimes and high costs.
To prevent corrosion for up to fifteen years, Snokote CL must be applied to keep moisture and corrosive elements away. To use, apply adhesive plastic tape around the flange gap encapsulating the cavity. Snokote is then heated and liquefied, and then injected through a plastic feeding tube filling the entire gap. Snokote CL forms a barrier against moisture and other corrosive elements inside the gap. It requires no curing time and the plastic tape may be removed after application to allow a full visual inspection of the flange.
Snokote protects completely — the flange, the bolts, and the joints!
