Tedlar® Polyvinyl Flouride Film (PVF) manufactured by Dupont™, achieves all of the key characteristics of an ideal coating and is widely used for aircrafts, photovoltaic cells and perfect for the oil and gas and petrochemicals industries. BS Stainless, working closely with Dupont™, have developed their brand TEDMET® at their Lancashire head office. They combine Tedlar® with either stainless steel or aluminium for metal jacketing. This product is extensively specified for projects such as Wheatstone and Curtis Island LNG’s in Australia.
The interior or underside of the metal jacketing often requires a moisture barrier to protect the metal from galvanic corrosion. The solution for this is Drymet ®which can be factory bonded to the metal. Drymet® again makes use of Dupont™ technology in the form of Surlyn® combined with Polythene to create a Poly and Surlyn® barrier highly resistant to moisture. In addition an acoustic barrier can also be created combining Soundmet® with Tedmet® to ensure an exterior coating of Tedlar® (PVF). Metal jacketing using Tedmet ® as an exterior coating and secured with banding, wing seals, rivets and screws is the perfect solution for long lasting and low maintenance for oil and gas plants.
