ELASTOMERIC INSULATION MATERIALS AND THE USE THEREOF IN SUBSEA APPLICATIONS

摘要

The invention provides an insulation material comprising an epoxy-terminated prepolymer and an amine curing agent. The reaction production of the epoxy-terminated prepolymer and amine curing agent provides for an elastomer that combines the processing and mechanical properties of polyurethane elastomers with improved thermal-hydrolytic stability. The insulation material is particularly useful as thermal insulation and coating for subsea oil and gas applications.
