It starts with Subsea Thermal Management Solutions
FMC Technologies is focused on developing subsea fields
more efficiently and economically. By providing subsea
thermal management solutions that shorten and stabilize
application times, such as Novolastic, FMC Technologies is
lowering risk to project deadlines. In addition to the ease
of application, Novolastic was designed to provide superior
performance and has a field track record to prove it.
Proven Solution
To help delay the onset of hydrate formation and prevent
wax deposition, Novolastic was developed by leveraging
FMC Technologies’ subsea experience and technology.
This proprietary glass-syntactic, silicone-based material is
cast-in-place and can be readily applied to subsea trees,
manifolds, PLET’s, PLEM’s, jumpers, and similar components
at any site worldwide.

1. Requirements Quality is conformance to requirements, not goodness.
2. Prevention Quality is prevention, not appraisal.
3. Zero Defects The performance standard.
4. Measure Quality is measured by the price of nonconformance, not indexes.
5. Create Customer Success The purpose of Quality.

Novolastic has been rigorously qualified over the years and
meets the standards of nearly every operator.
Through extensive qualification testing, Novolastic complies
with the ISO 12736 standard (general and specific
properties, aging, full-scale testing, application process
and quality control).
In addition, Novolastic was
included in the SWIS JIP in
2013 at 150 ºC (302 ºF)
and maintained its physical
integrity and thermal
performance throughout a
year-long Simulated Service
Test (SST).
Novolastic is also included
in the second ongoing
SWIS JIP at 180 ºC (356 ºF)
with similar results expected
in 2016.
Novolastic insulated subsea equipment can interface with
other thermal insulation materials using mechanical or
chemical interfaces.
For field joints, it is common for Novolastic to interface with
other insulation materials such as 5LPP, IMPP, PU, and GSPU.
These interfaces can be found on subsea equipment such
as connectors, jumpers, flowlines and pipelines.

Material Properties
» Extended cool-down time through a high heat capacity of 1.45 J/(g-K) and low thermal conductivity of 0.167 W/(m-K)
» Rated for temperatures up to 177 ºC (350 ºF)
» Rated for water depths up to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters)
» Neutrally buoyant due to near-seawater density
» Superior tensile elongation properties (224 %) allow expansion and movement of substrate without cracking or breaking
» Low water absorption of 0.66 weight percent
Performance
» Stable thermal performance over time
» Proven field track record
» Minimal heat transfer, resulting in very low thermal expansion
» Optimal thermal insulation solution for subsea equipment
Key Features and Benefits
Application
» Able to cure at ambient room temperatures
» Does not require preheating of substrate or molds and does not provide any risk of exothermic cracking
» Simple and easy application. Cast-in-place with molds to accommodate complex geometries
» Increase machinability and application ease due to the patented suspension of glass microspheres in silicone resin
» Easily applied at worksites (shop, fabrication yard, etc.)
