WEG (weg.net) has developed an innovative coating for use in highly corrosive environments, providing greater durability to assets and increasing the lifespan by up to four times compared to current technologies.

This coating technology, already being tested and applied in some offshore platforms, replaces traditional coatings, simplifying equipment and structure maintenance where applied and offering significantly greater resistance compared to currently adopted protective plans, notes a press communique from the company.

The first offshore maintenance projects with the new technology are already underway, and tests confirm the performance of the new line marketed by WEG under the brand WrapX". Two years of research and investments exceeding R$ 1.5 million, in addition to equipment, performance tests, and technical training, have been dedicated to this development.
