Flange Protection System

Cost Effective and

Long Term Solution for
Flange Protection

www.iossb.com.my

The Challenge

The Solution

The annular gap around a flange joint is highly vulnerable

to the ingress of debris and moisture that can result in
degradation and cause corrosive damages to the flange,
sealing faces, nuts and bolts.

To combat these problems, IOSSB has developed an

inexpensive, effective and long lasting Flange Protection
System that provides total protection from corrosion
and foreign materials. These can be installed without the
need for splitting or separating the joint.

Excessive corrosion in these areas is hazardous, and

replacement could mean unscheduled downtime for
the machining or replacement of damaged components.

Our corrosion prevention technology is jointly patented

with PETRONAS for riser clamps, flanges, valves,
nuts and bolts. All of our products are developed and
manufactured in-house with first-rate product quality
control. Our integrated Flange Protection System and
management includes installation of:

An immediate
30% to 40% cost saving

CorroCap
FlangeShield
Bolting and Tensioning Services

We also provide other related services such as valve

servicing and replacement.

The Advantages

Immediate 30% to 40% cost savings on

maintenance and replacements, reduces
time spent on regular inspection and
maintenance

Extends the useful life of nuts and bolts

Eliminates the need for time consuming and

destructive removal procedures

Reusable and can be easily inspected

Industrial nuts and bolts are difficult to protect because

of their odd shapes and restricted accessibility.
Fluorocarbon coating has been used as an alternative
but this too has proven to be inadequate as it cannot
prevent mechanical damage.
CorroCap possess ideal characteristics that make it
the obvious choice in nut and bolt protection. It
incorporates a unique one-way valve that allows air,
water and excess inhibitors to escape, creating a near
vacuum seal hence protecting the nuts and bolts in a
corrosion free environment.
To provide long term corrosion protection, CorroCap
is installed along with DP-180 a formulation of
modified waxes containing corrosion inhibitors. When
applied with DP-180 and Corro-Cillin a rust
converting and preventing agent, CorroCap offers
total solution to the mitigation of bolts and nuts
corrosion.

BENEFITS

Made from top quality non-flammable silicone

rubber under stringent quality control

Flexible, reusable and designed to fit nuts

and bolts sized between 0.5 inch to 3.5 inches

18 available sizes available to fit clients

preferences

Will not harden under long UV exposure

Able to withstand heat ranging up to 150C

or more upon special request

Immediate cost savings of 30% to 40% on

maintenance & studbolt replacements

Extends the useful life of nuts and bolts

Reduces time spent on regular

inspection and maintenance

APPLICATION
Installation is simple and easy as the caps can be
pressed onto the nuts and bolts. Made of durable silicone
rubber, CorroCap has been designed and manufactured
to meet the harsh conditions of offshore environments.
More importantly, it eliminates the need for time
consuming and destructive removal procedures such
as the use of hack saws and cutting torches during
maintenance. Furthermore, bolts and nuts are easily
inspectable because CorroCap can be detached and
attached repeatedly with minimal effort.

FlangeShield
Controlling corrosion on flanges is an important
operational task in the industry as multiple crevices
and annulars spaces exists in the body of the flange
and at the sealing faces. Nuts and bolts are exposed to
mechanical damage during assembly and are difficult
to coat as adequate surface preparation is virtually
impossible.

BENEFITS

The FlangeShield employs a non-toxic, nonflammable, non-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound)

and environmentally safe material a rust converting
compound designed specifically for use in the marine
environment. The material is pre-heated to lower its
viscosity which will allow it to penetrate into all
the crevices.

Wax-based, non-toxic, non-flammable,

non-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) and
environmentally safe protection for flanges

Protects crevices, annular spaces from

corrosion

Offers total and long lasting protection for

flanges, nuts and bolts when used with
CorroCap

APPLICATION
By utilizing IOSSBs FlangeShield, the material is
injected to temporarily fill voids in the flange.
Excess material is sucked out, leaving a protective
coating between 1-3mm.
The flange can be easily inspected after the
procedure and when used with CorroCap,
the system offers total protection for nuts,
bolts and flanges.

INFORMATION
HANDLING

When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Only use in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with the skin,
eyes, nose and mouth, especially when the product is molten. Wash all exposed skin before eating,
drinking, smoking or using the toilet.

STORAGE

Do not store in unsuitable, unlabelled or incorrectly labelled containers. Molten product in storage
tanks should be blanketed with nitrogen.

STABILITY/REACTIVITY

Stability

Stable.

Melting

Melting temperature should not exceed 140C.

Over heating may cause oxidization.

Conditions to avoid

Naked flames.

Materials to avoid

Strong oxidizing agents.

Hazardous decomposition products

None known.

Human Health Hazard

Molten wax causes serious burns if skin contact occurs.

Safety Hazards

Combustible.

Environmental Hazards

No specific hazards.

Symptoms and Effects

Molten wax fumes may be slightly irritating to the

eyes and upper respiratory tract irritation if inhaled.
Molten wax will cause burns on contact with skin.

First Aid Inhalation

Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention.

First Aid Skin

If hot wax strikes the skin, drench or immerse the

area in water to assist cooling. If available, apply iced
water or iced packed to the burned area (DO NOT USE
iced water or cold packs if the burned area covers more
than 10 percent of the body, as this may contribute to
shock). Do not try to remove wax from a burn after it has
cooled. Seek medical attention. If cool wax contacts skin,
wash the area with warm soapy water.

First AidEye

Hold eyelids open and flush eye with water. Seek

medical attention.

First Aid Ingestion

Obtain medical attention.

Advice to Physicians

Treat symptomatically. Diagnosis of ingestion of this

product is by the history of events.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Bolting and Tensioning

We offer hydraulic bolt torqueing and tensioning
solutions for offshore platforms, pipelines (subsea
and onshore) and oil and gas terminals. Services include
removal, replacement, freeing and retightening of
studbolts.
Our hydraulic bolt torqueing and tensioning systems are
among the best tightening methods to help control the
significant costs resulting from incorrectly tightened
studs.

PROVEN EFFICACY
In 2004, IOSSB installed the CorroCap for a
clients Platform located offshore of Sarawak.
A post-application survey was conducted after
6 years and the protected nuts and bolts show
no signs of corrosion.
The anticorrosion compound was found to
be still present on the nuts and bolts.
Visuals inspections indicate clear comparative
advantage of our protection system against
conventional fluorocarbon coating.
