No Microbiological Induced Corrosion Possible

No bacterial growth under 3pinc® Wrappingband.

For the application of 3pinc® Wrappingband a large life span can be guaranteed because microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) on metal transport pipelines is impossible. The conditions for the growth of micro-organisms are very unfavorable:

• No water available;
• No nitrogen available for bacterial growth;
• The wrapping band is produced under sterilizing conditions (high temperature);
• The basis conditions (pH=8) of the wrapping band prevents the development of SRB (sulfate reducing bacteria’s);
• The self-repairing ability of the permanent viscous-elastic fluid material enhances the protective properties.

Many publications showing that 3pinc® technology: is in a class of its own!

• Low surface tension; diffusion into finest pores of steel surface
• Adhesion at a molecular level: permanent flow
• Chemically inert and fully amorphous; no free radicals
• Non-crosslinked technology: can not crack!
• Non-crystallinity; can not break-down
