OIL AND GAS
Protect against corrosion, erosion, and chemical exposure in the most demanding environments.
Oil and Gas Industry Coating Solutions
Few industries push equipment harder than oil and gas. From offshore drilling platforms to high-pressure refineries, components are exposed daily to extreme heat, corrosive chemicals, and mechanical abrasion. It’s not just a matter of efficiency, it’s about safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
At Marcote, we specialise in high-performance coatings that are tailored to meet the challenges of oil and gas operations. Whether you’re preventing corrosion on valves, reducing wear in pipeline components, or improving the cleanability of processing equipment, our coatings help extend the life of critical assets, while reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Why Coating Matters in Oil & Gas Operations
Drilling, refining, and transporting hydrocarbons all rely on equipment that must endure some of the harshest conditions found in any industry. High pressures, abrasive particulates, aggressive chemicals, and saltwater exposure are constant threats to performance and safety.
Without protection, component degradation can lead to unplanned shutdowns, leakage, and in extreme cases, system failure. That’s why coatings aren’t optional, they’re a core part of your asset integrity strategy.
Key Benefits of Coatings in the Oil & Gas Sector
- Corrosion Resistance: prevents rust, oxidation, and damage from water, salt, and harsh fluids.
- Chemical Resistance: shields surfaces from exposure to acids, hydrocarbons, and solvents.
- Abrasion & Wear Protection: cuts friction and extends part life in high-contact zones.
- Temperature & Pressure Stability: Maintains integrity in extreme operating conditions.
- Reduced Maintenance: Minimises downtime and simplifies cleaning cycles.
Coating Applications in Oil and Gas
We work with maintenance engineers, asset managers, and procurement teams to deliver coatings that match real-world conditions across both upstream and downstream operations.
Drilling & Exploration Equipment
Coatings applied to downhole tools, pumps, shafts, and pressure vessels to protect against abrasion and corrosive fluids.
Valves, Pipes & Fittings
Internal and external surfaces protected to prevent pitting, chemical erosion, and blockages caused by deposits.
Subsea Components
Fluoropolymer coatings used to reduce corrosion from saltwater exposure and increase inspection cycles for offshore structures.
Processing & Refining Equipment
High-temperature resistant coatings on heat exchangers, separators, and distillation units to manage thermal and chemical stress.
Coatings We Recommend for Oil & Gas
At Marcote, we don’t apply coatings based on brand, we match materials to performance requirements. That said, certain coating types consistently outperform in oil and gas environments:
Halar (ECTFE)
Exceptional chemical resistance, ideal for acid handling systems and high-purity processing lines.
PTFE & PFA
Non-stick and chemically inert, suitable for internal linings and low-friction parts.
Plasma-Sprayed Ceramics & Tungsten Carbide
Used for hard-wearing applications where abrasion resistance and thermal protection are key.
Xylan
Provide corrosion resistance, low friction, and dry film lubrication, especially effective on bolts, fasteners, and threaded parts.
Every coating we apply is tailored to the substrate, the environmental conditions, and the demands of your process.
