MARGEL – CP/SP/SP-HT
Pre-applied Margel anti-corrosion inhibitor is now available from IBSL.
Corrosion Inhibitor for Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Protection – Steel Pipe
Protech Global Ltd has formulated a unique anti-corrosion inhibitor for the protection of steel surfaces from
corrosion under insulation (CUI). Designed to be installed within proximity to the surface of the substrate fitted with
insulation materials, Margel™ is a mid/long term fit and extremely cost-effective solution to corrosion problems in
the oil & gas industry the world over. Margel™ has been formulated for exclusive use on hydrocarbon, utility and
petrochemical lines, up to 180ºC in temperature.
Margel™ in Capsule, Gel or sachet form, works by emitting a controlled amount of corrosion inhibiting vapour that
when applied to and near steel surfaces, disperses and is adsorbed by its substrate, blocking the path of chlorides,
water and oxygen. Margel™ is manufactured with organic compounds and forms a monomolecular layer onto the
surface of steel, this eliminates any further corrosion, working equally well on both newly manufactured or already
corroded steel.
Margel™ will migrate from its placement location and will start working from the moment it is applied, typically
eliminating further corrosion activity within 14 days from application. ProTech Global have a portfolio of projects
where Margel™ is still working well, 25 years on from application. Margel™ variants have to date been applied to
more than 5000 projects worldwide.
