Project overview

The Chevron Phillips Singapore Chemical Plant (CPSC) is located in the Jurong Island petrochemical zone of Singapore, a joint venture between Chevron Phillips Chemical and Sumitomo Chemical, mainly producing HDPE with an annual capacity of about 400,000 tonnes. The project is included in the petrochemical section of the PPG industrial protection brochure.

Anti-corrosion (fire protection) challenge

  • A tropical marine climate, hot, humid and salt-laden all year round, with high weathering and moisture resistance requirements for the topcoat;
  • The petrochemical plant media are complex; acid mist and hydrocarbon leakage demand high chemical resistance of the coating;
  • High-temperature pipelines and ambient-temperature steel structures coexist, requiring zone-by-zone selection.

FAQ

Which coating system was used on Chevron Phillips Singapore Chemical Plant?
For Ambient-temperature steel structures the specified system is: Epoxy zinc-rich + epoxy intermediate coat + polysiloxane/polyurethane topcoat.
What was the corrosion protection challenge at Chevron Phillips Singapore Chemical Plant?
A tropical marine climate, hot, humid and salt-laden all year round, with high weathering and moisture resistance requirements for the topcoat;
Can the same system be adapted to a different project?
Yes, in principle, but the specification has to be re-checked against the new exposure category, surface preparation and expected service life. Send us the site conditions and we will confirm whether this system carries over unchanged or needs adjustment.
Where can I find the data sheets for the products in this system?
Each product named in the system above links to its own data sheet page on this site, with the parameters, application data and the manufacturer's TDS.
