CUI Made Simple: International and Vision Integrity Simplify Corrosion Under Insulation

Expert insights into CUI prevention and performance coatings

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) remains one of the most costly and persistent challenges in industrial maintenance. In this on-demand webinar, experts from International® and Vision Integrity Engineering, hosted by Material Performance, share practical strategies and proven technologies to simplify CUI protection. 

Webinar Highlights

Pigments vs Resins: Understanding the role of aluminum flake pigments and avoiding zinc risks.

Triple-Mode Action of Aluminum Flake Pigments: Inhibitor reservoir, barrier protection, and mechanical reinforcement. 

IMM vs TSA Performance: Comparative testing shows IMM coatings outperforming TSA in impedance and porosity. 

Field-Proven Results: Intertherm 751CSA IMM coatings delivering over 20 years of corrosion-free service.

Advanced Epoxy Phenolics: Featuring Interbond 2340UPC for flexible, low-temperature cure and Intertherm 2205 reduced shutdowns.
