Dow Corning presented its new XTI-1003 RTV Silicone Rubber Insulation at the 2013 Subsea Tieback Forum & Exhibition held last month in San Antonio, Texas. The technology is a solid, non-syntactic thermal insulation solution designed for HPHT deepwater equipment applications. The XTI-1003 boasts an easy to mix and apply formulation that cures to a durable, flexible translucent rubber.
Some of the benefits tied to the XTI-1003 technology are increased joint strength, flexibility, and thermal stability, Dow Corning says.
