A two-component epoxy resin composition, made of: a resin component including: at least one epoxy resin that contains on average more than one epoxy group per molecule; up to 25 wt.-% of at least one epoxy-functional reactive diluent having one or two epoxy groups per molecule; and a hardener component including: between 40 and 80 wt.-% of at least one amino-functional hardener of formula (I),

wherein n is an integer with a value of 2 or 3, R.sup.1 is a linear, cyclic or branched alkyl residue that optionally contains ether oxygen atoms and R.sup.2 is a methyl or ethyl group; between 10 and 30 wt.-% of at least one Lewis base having at least one tertiary amino group, amidine group, or guanidine group; and between 10 and 30 wt.-% of at least one carboxylic acid.

A lateral applicator kit for a pipe has a first and a second application unit that are configured to apply a primer material or other substance to the exterior and interior lateral walls of a pipe. The first unit receives primer through a first supply engagement feature, which is in fluid communication with a first material reservoir internal to the first application unit and further in fluid communication with an application receptacle configured to receive, and apply primer to, the exterior lateral surface of a pipe. The application receptacle has at least one first material applicator connected across at least one first application opening through which primer is absorbed and distributed to the pipe. The application receptacle has a tapered, flexible applicator wall for adaptably accommodating a range of pipe diameters. The second unit is similarly but inversely configured to adaptably apply primer to the interior surface of a fitting.

Coating compositions for coating an oilfield operational component, and related methods, may include in some aspects a coating composition having a trifunctional silane, a silanol, and a filler. The coating composition may be applied to a surface of the oilfield operational component that is configured to be exposed to a fluid. The coating composition may be applied to at least partially cover or coat the surface. The coating composition may be configured to chemically bond with a cured primer composition that includes an epoxy.

A treatment device that performs treatment for forming a plating layer on a metal pipe material that is used as a material for hot forming, the treatment device includes a supply unit that supplies a plating material to an inner periphery-side surface of a welded portion formed in the metal pipe material.

A quick, practical and economical method, machine and system for re-basecoating cans which have necks, flanges but also have basecoat and or decoration defects. The cans may pass by a corona /plasma treatment which removes lubricant. A main starwheel will carry the cans to a can body coating application device (such as a high durometer resilient roller), then to a can neck coating application device (similar but shaped for the neck/flange of the can). The main starwheel will carry the cans through an induction tunnel in which cans have an electrical current induced, thereby curing the cans before the cans are removed by an outfeed device and placed onto an outfeed conveyor. Hold down chucks hold the cans from the top (in addition to vacuum chucks holding the cans from the bottom) and cover the top of the cans so that the new coating material does not enter.

Tubulars are immersed in electroless nickel coating solution to coat the tubulars. Prior to the coating step the tubulars are blasted with a clean medium and washed and rinsed in alkaline solution. The tubulars are arranged in a bunk for washing, rinsing and coating. LLDPE stretch wrap applied to outer portions of the tubulars prevents coating of the outer portions. The tubulars are electrically separated from the bunk and the coating solution tank, and the tank is provided with anodic protection to prevent coating of the tank. The bunk is provided with a header assembly to provide solution flow through the tubulars via nozzles on the header assembly in addition to flow caused by the vortex effect created by velocity of fluid exiting the nozzles. The bunk is arranged in the solution tank so that the tubulars are at an angle to horizontal to efficiently remove hydrogen gas. Solution flow to the header assembly is filtered to remove particulates.

An internal pipe powder coating system includes a nozzle having an attachment device to removably attach to a chamber; the nozzle having holes extending through a thickness of the body; a powder coating machine engaged with the chamber to deliver powder coating to the nozzle; the nozzle sprays the powder coating to an inside of a pipe.
