InnerArmor Coating Maximizes Flow

In many industries the loss of line pressure over time is accepted as an unavoidable problem and part of the cost of doing business. Often, this loss results from the inherent roughness of older internal coatings—such as metal cladding and thermally-sprayed metal films—or from corrosion and sludge build-up. But a solution is now provided—by the unique surface qualities of InnerArmor films…

First, InnerArmor films are extremely hard. Second, they have an exceptionally low coefficient of friction. Third, they are hydrophobic—they repel water. Which means that liquids slide quickly across an InnerArmor-coated surface. The net result is that InnerArmor improves flow dynamics and reduces line-pressure loss. It means that smaller diameter pipe—which costs less—can be used to move the same amount of fluid.

By eliminating fouling, InnerArmor coatings can improve efficiency and performance in a multitude of applications such as downhole oil products, chemical production processes, pipeline coating, pulp and paper manufacturing and more.
