plastocor-international's tube lining system - corrosion and erosion protection and repair of the entire tube length
plastocor® tube lining system for condenser and heat exchanger tube repair and protection of the entire internal tube surface

plastocor® tube lining is a unique on-site application system carried out during regular outages to extent the lifespan of tubes of condensers and heat exchangers which have been damaged by erosion and corrosion. It additionally reduces fouling, copper discharge and corrosion and erosion damage.
plastocor-intenational high performance protective coatings on condenser or exchanger tubes will not last as long as retubing with new titanium tubes, but they can potentially extend the life-time of the damaged tubes as well as protect them from further erosion and corrosion damage at comparably low cost.
plastocor-international supplies the technology, machinery and services to conduct full-length tube coatings.
Advantages of plastocor® tube lining
plastocor® tube lining operations can be done in a typical outage turnaround cycle.
for example: a 750 MW unit, 40’000 12m tubes, lead time 45 days, implementation circa 3 weeks.
plastocor® tube lining materials are 100% solids, non-solvents, non-VOC.
tube lining costs run in the range of 30 - 40% of those of retubing.
down tube coatings are the most economic way to extend the life-span of of your tubing.
you need to buy time to budget a full retubing, full or partial down tube coatings is an option to avoid operation unavailability and leaks.
one water box of two or more is limiting your performance capabilities, plastocor® tube lining can coat the tubes in this box only and extend life until the full retube opportunity.
tubelining the tubes reduces fouling reducing maintenance expenditures.
plastocor® tube lining coatings comply with strick discharge permit limits. Down tube coatings eliminate almost all copper discharge (about 3kg/yr/MW).
