Minimize Your Liabilities with a Subsea High-Temperature Thermal Insulation System for Splash Zone Protection and More
In January 2016, Mark Tool and Elite Elastomers of Ohio LLC entered into a joint venture focused on the research, development, and end-use application for complete, elastomeric, subsea high-temperature thermal insulation systems that could be installed via three methods: J-Lay, S-Lay, and Reel-Lay.
The newly formed company has been named MTE Engineered Materials. The chosen name represents the combined strengths of both Mark Tool and Elite Elastomers of Ohio LLC. MTE Engineered Materials is proud to present to you the latest groundbreaking technology in subsea thermal insulation: ThermoTRON®.
ThermoTRON 350®
High-temperature wet insulation system intended for use in splash zone protection of risers, hull piping and subsea jumpers, with an internal operating temperature of up to 350°F.

Layers and Application
ThermoTRON 350® is a high-temperature wet insulation system intended use for insulation and splash zone protection of risers, hull piping, and insulation for subsea flow-line, with an internal temperature up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
This product consists of three layers, a corrosion resistant layer, a bonding agent layer, and a high temperature high density elastomer layer.
ThermoTRON 350™ Systems has 60 years of experience built into its technology. The system was designed to perform in extreme harsh environments. It is robust and very flexible and will extend protection for the lifespan of subsea installations. The three-layer coating system provides corrosion protection and excellent thermal insulation properties.
The system is seawater, impact, and creep resistant. It will also provide excellent resistance to weathering, fungus, and marine life.
Typical Applications for ThermoTRON 350®
Three Layers
ThermoTRON 350® consists of three layers that are vulcanized to the steel pipe surface.
