Synergy® takes pipeline coating into the 21st Century. For the
first time, every feature you need in a pipeline coating has been
combined in one coating system. Now you can lay defect-free pipe
that resists corrosion longer than you ever thought possible.
Polyken's advanced polymer and adhesive technologies make Synergy the
toughest coating available. Two layers of coating are fused to
each other and bonded to the pipe. The result: a tight,
mechanically-tough barrier against corrosion-causing moisture and
oxygen. Synergy is cost-effective to apply. Safe to the
environment. And durable.
Let Synergy take you into the 21st Century.
Guards Against Corrosion
Synergy's high shear primer prepares pipe for strong bonding. Its inhibitors prevent corrosion cracking.
Stands Up To Stress
Synergy's anti-corrosion barrier has a documented, 40-year history of
successful in-ground performance. Heat from the fusion process
gives its cross-linked butyl alloy adhesive superior bond
strength. The result: excellent soil stress resistance.
Stay Intact
A unique multi-layered, polymeric composition makes Synergy's outer
barrier tough, yet flexible. It contains no adhesive -- instead,
it's fused to the inner barrier. As a result, Synergy won't move and its fused edges can't turn over.
Withstands Rough Handling At The Plant
Pipes coated with Synergy stand up to the most challenging
conditions. After repeated handling at the plant, during loading
and during transportation, Synergy arrives defect-free at the job site.
Bends Past API Specifications
Insert Synergy-coated pipe into a bending machine either with or
against the overlap. Bend a pipe coated with Synergy as much as
necessary -- even much farther. Synergy stays intact.
Performs In Extreme Temperatures
Whether you lay pipe in the desert or the Arctic, Synergy stays tough
and flexible. Edges won't roll over and the system won't move --
even when pipes shift on skids as the temperatures change.
Withstands Rough Handling On The Right-Of-Way
Sling it. Cradle it. Backfill onto it. Synergy stays holiday-free.
Resists Shearing In-Ground
In-ground, Synergy resists soil-stress, even at extreme
temperatures. In Polyken's laboratory, a soil stress simulator
subjects Synergy to shear forces at temperatures far above those which
damage conventional coatings. There's no damage or movement.
The Most Cost-Effective Coating You Can Apply
The hot-applied Synergy coating process will save you time and money.
Synergy production lines run faster and use less expensive raw
materials than other lines. Production is highly effecient in a
permanent plant or, to reduce transportation costs, in a portable plant
near the right-of-way.
An existing cold-applied tape production line even may be retrofitted
for the Synergy process with the addition of pre-heat and post-heat
ovens.
