Simplifying installation, capturing cost savings, and boosting performance

Proxxima™ systems provide a single, direct-to-metal, solution for subsea thermal insulation needs. From flowlines and field joints to subsea equipment, replacing alternatives like multi-layer polypropylene (MLPP) and silicones. With low thermal conductivity (k-value), durability, and extreme hydrophobicity, Proxxima resin systems are ideal MLPP/silicone replacements.

Proxxima resin systems attributes and value chain benefits

Sustained performance

Hydrophobic – improved pipeline depth potential and corrosion resistance
Enhanced flow assurance through 2-in-1 functionality (insulator and anti-corrosive) with cool down time benefits (higher asset reliability)
High defect tolerance drives installation efficiency and performance reliability

Faster installation

Direct-to-Steel application (no need for any additional product layer, like Fusion-Bonded Epoxy)
2-3x faster processing vs. MLPP
>50% field joint application time savings vs. MLPP

Versatility

Much larger temperature range application as compared to MLPP (95-180 C)
Molded polymer insulation at location vs. expensive extrusion; avoids costly logistics

An innovative subsea installation with ODYSEA

Using Proxxima resin systems, ODYSEA installed approximately 11 kilometers of deepwater pipelines utilizing ODYSEA’s groundbreaking Goldilocks (GDLX™) insulation technology enabled by Proxxima systems. Compared to traditional multi-layer polypropylene, the strong, water-repellent, and highly durable castable coating simplified installation, making the process faster and saved on total cost. This project is another example of innovative Proxxima solutions boosting performance while simplifying application processes.
