TITE LINER HC SYSTEM

High performance thermoplastic liner for elevated temperature and extreme conditions

Tite Liner® HC System Highlights of the Tite Liner® HC System

United Pipeline System’s Tite Liner® HC is a high performance
thermoplastic lining system designed for severe conditions present
in oil & gas and industrial environments. The Tite Liner® HC system
utilizes EVONIK’s VESTAMID® NRG Polyamide 12 resin that provides
excellent protection in hydrocarbon service, elevated temperatures,
as well as reducing permeation.
Tite Liner® HC is and excellent choice for the Oil & Gas and
Petrochemical industries due its outstanding corrosion protection,
even in the harshest environments. Our custom lined pipe systems
provide a complete corrosion resistant solution, significantly
extending the operational life of your infrastructure.
• High temperature resistance – up to 210ºF (100ºC)
• Compressed fit liner utilizing the Tite Liner® system
• Excellent performance in hydrocarbon service
• Enhanced resistance to collapse and buckling
• Improved performance in high sour gas environments with
ultra-low gas permeation
• Extended service life resulting in lower cost of ownership
versus alternatives such as CRA
• Reliable and safe performance record

Performance Highlights Tite Liner® HC

• Extends the application range of Tite Liner® PE Tite Liner® utilizes VESTAMID® NRG (Polyamide 12) and is highly
- Excellent mechanical strength in crude up to 100°C compatible with hydrocarbons and is also highly resistant to C02
- Good chemical resistance under sour gas conditions and H2S. Compared to polyethylene, Tite Liner® HC has improved
mechanical properties, reduced swelling in hydrocarbons, and
• Improved reliability of Tite Liner® PE in hydrocarbon service
lower permeation of gases over a wide temperature range. Tite
- Higher tensile modulus
Liner® HC is expected to deliver lifetimes of 20 years and longer
- Lower swelling in oil even at high temperatures and low pH in multiphase hydrocarbon
- No loss of mechanical strength after saturation in oil flow versus polyethelene liners.
- Improved abrasion resistance
VESTAMID® NRG was thoroughly tested to demonstrate
- Higher critical pressure
compliance with the international standards API 17J and ISO
• Reduces venting needs and improves environmental
13628-2. On the basis of these results, Lloyd’s Register granted
performance
approval in June 2006 for the use of VESTAMID® NRG in the
- Lower BTX permeation manufacture of flexible pipes for conveying production and
- Lower gas permeation injection fluids in offshore crude oil production.

Tite Liner® HC (utilizing VESTAMID® NRG) is the material of choice
