Subsea technologies for unparalleled recovery and production

NovolasticSubsea Thermal Insulation

It starts with Subsea Thermal Management Solutions

FMC Technologies is focused on developing subsea fields

more efficiently and economically. By providing subsea

thermal management solutions that shorten and stabilize

application times, such as Novolastic, FMC Technologies is

lowering risk to project deadlines. In addition to the ease

of application, Novolastic was designed to provide superior

performance and has a field track record to prove it.

Proven Solution

To help delay the onset of hydrate formation and prevent

wax deposition, Novolastic was developed by leveraging

FMC Technologies’ subsea experience and technology.

This proprietary glass-syntactic, silicone-based material is

cast-in-place and can be readily applied to subsea trees,

manifolds, PLET’s, PLEM’s, jumpers, and similar components

at any site worldwide.

Novolastic has been rigorously qualified over the years and

meets the standards of nearly every operator.

Through extensive qualification testing, Novolastic complies

with the ISO 12736 standard (general and specific

properties, aging, full-scale testing, application process

and quality control).

In addition, Novolastic was

included in the SWIS JIP in

2013 at 150 ºC (302 ºF)

and maintained its physical

integrity and thermal

performance throughout a

year-long Simulated Service

Test (SST).

Novolastic is also included

in the second ongoing

SWIS JIP at 180 ºC (356 ºF)

with similar results expected

in 2016.

Novolastic insulated subsea equipment can interface with

other thermal insulation materials using mechanical or

chemical interfaces.

For field joints, it is common for Novolastic to interface with

other insulation materials such as 5LPP, IMPP, PU, and GSPU.

These interfaces can be found on subsea equipment such

as connectors, jumpers, flowlines and pipelines.

Material Properties

» Extended cool-down time through a high heat capacity of 1.45 J/(g-K) and low thermal conductivity of 0.167 W/(m-K)

» Rated for temperatures up to 177 ºC (350 ºF)

» Rated for water depths up to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters)

» Neutrally buoyant due to near-seawater density

» Superior tensile elongation properties (224 %) allow expansion and movement of substrate without cracking or breaking

» Low water absorption of 0.66 weight percent

Performance

» Stable thermal performance over time

» Proven field track record

» Minimal heat transfer, resulting in very low thermal expansion

» Optimal thermal insulation solution for subsea equipment

Key Features and Benefits

Application

» Able to cure at ambient room temperatures

» Does not require preheating of substrate or molds and does not provide any risk of exothermic cracking

» Simple and easy application. Cast-in-place with molds to accommodate complex geometries

» Increase machinability and application ease due to the patented suspension of glass microspheres in silicone resin

» Easily applied at worksites (shop, fabrication yard, etc.)
