Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9957182A1] A lightweight, insulated pipe for underwater or out of water use, including a metal pipe and an insulation layer covering the metal pipe, wherein the insulation layer includes at least one cured epoxy resin binder and hollow microballoons. The pipe is formed on a metal pipe by first forming a liquid epoxy-based mastic comprising at least one type of epoxy resin and having microballoons dispersed therein. The liquid mastic is then applied onto the exterior surface of a metal pipe to form a mastic coating on that surface. The mastic coating is then allowed to cure, or is cured to form a low density syntactic foam insulation layer.
