Leverkusen, September 2023. With its various corrosion protection systems, DENSO Group Germany has been setting quality standards on countless pipeline projects worldwide for a century. Under the brand FORTIDE®, DENSO Group Germany is expanding its range to include high-performance epoxy coatings. To meet the diverse, ever-increasing demands of pipeline construction, FORTIDE® offers durable corrosion protection for a wide range of applications in tough conditions.
FORTIDE®-HT is ideally for use at the highest operating temperatures up to +150 °C. Other FORTIDE® variants are specially designed for moist surfaces or as internal coatings for tanks or pipelines. All FORTIDE® products comply with the international standard ISO 21809-3 and are unified by the DENSO quality guarantee: 100 percent Made in Germany.
Strong tensile strength, easy to apply and fast curing
FORTIDE® is suitable for the rehabilitation of pipelines, as a whole pipe coating or for welded joints and complex geometries. The products are characterised by an outstanding coating hardness and exceptional indentation strength. As a brush or spray coating, they are simply applied to the surface in one step, even in high layer thicknesses. FORTIDE® is free of volatile solvents and isocyanates. "Epoxy coatings are highly tensile, chemically resistant, fast curing and therefore ensure early commissioning of the pipeline. In addition to its versatile applicability, FORTIDE® meets our demands for simplicity, economy and durability and guarantees what our customers especially appreciate about DENSO: the proven quality Made in Germany", says Thomas Kaiser, Managing Director of DENSO Group Germany.
Four product solutions for a wide range of applications
- FORTIDE®-HT | High Temperature: Corrosion protection of pipelines at maximum operating temperatures of up to +150 °C. For pipes transporting particularly hot media or exposed to very high ambient temperatures.
- FORTIDE®-ST | Standard Temperature: Corrosion protection for pipelines at operating temperatures up to +95 °C.
- FORTIDE®-TL | Tank Lining: Internal coating for tanks and pipelines with exceptional chemical and water resistance, e.g. against crude oil, various hydrocarbons, acids, lyes and waste water.
- FORTIDE®-WS | Wet Surface: Specifically for use on wet surfaces, which are often a challenge, for example, when rehabilitating old coatings during pipeline operation.
DENSO offers largest range of corrosion protection systems
