Your benefits

Plastics can do more for Ship Building and OffshoreSeaCor™ USCG- and ABS-approved corrosion-free plastic piping

The SeaCor corrosion-free piping system, besides ensuring a long service life of the non-essential piping

systems, adds a long list of additional benefits:

• SeaCor is approved by USCG, ABS, Transport Canada; NSF Certified, IMO and FTP Code compliant.

• Material weight savings drastically reduces the total deck weight.

• Faster, safer and secure installation, eliminating the need for hot work certificates.

• Plastic prefabrication capabilities radically reduce installation time on board.

• Enables installations with a minimum amount of tools especially in small or in difficult access areas.

• Service and maintenance costs are reduced significantly due to speed of installation portability and easy

handling.

Vessels are not only floating cities, but are also essential for the world's economy. Preventing corrosion is more important here than anywhere else.

With SeaCor from GF Piping Systems, corrosion is no longer an issue. Cost-effective and high-quality, plastics are your right choice.

We will help you increase production by reducing maintenance time and overall operational cost.

Offshore drilling rigs are exposed to the forces of nature day and night. Wind, rain and saltwater can be very harsh on structures, housing and supply lines.

The pipelines for hot and cold water, effluent and greywater, rain catchment and chemical distribution are particularly affected, internally and externally, by corrosion as well as incrustation.

The SeaCor solution from GF Piping Systems warrants the safe conveyance of drinking water and other process fluids — without altering their quality in the least.

Corrosion-free piping systems. This

guarantees the long service life of

your systems. You save dry-dock

time. You save service costs. You

save maintenance costs. All in all, you

are in business quick er. That is your

benefit.

You also save on weight. Plastic piping

systems weigh approximately 5 times

less than metal — a savings of several

tons per ship. This in turn allows for

more freight, more passengers and

therefore more profit.

Besides, installation is much faster.

SeaCor offers the possibility of pre-

fabrication, which radically reduces

installation time on board. SeaCor

enables installations with a small

number of tools in a small amount of

space. Technical specialists are not

always required. Another significant

benefit.

The USCG and ABS have approved

SeaCor™ and SeaDrain™ Plus for

marine applications where Low Flame

Spread and Smoke/Toxicity standards

are required: the only plastic piping

systems to earn these approvals.

SeaCor piping system is produced in the United States from a high performance polymer with unique physical properties desirable for piping applications used in corrosive marine environments. It is simultaneously light, flexible, tough, and exceptionally corrosion-resistant. SeaCor has improved thermal properties, impact resistance, and fire performance properties compared to alternate plastics. SeaCor is a pressure-rated system that is highly resistant to acids, alkalis, alcohols, and many other corrosive materials. Seacor's ability to withstand pressure varies with pipe diameter, wall thickness, and temperature. For pressure applications, it is recommended for temperatures as high as 200°F (93°C) when appropriate temperature de-rating factors are applied.

SeaCor piping system is available in iron pipe size (IPS) Schedule 80 dimensions and can handle more than three-fourths of the temperature/pressure requirements of today’s typical applications. It is particularly suited for non-essential marine and offshore applications, including fresh water, hot and cold potable water, seawater, drains, vents, black and grey water, water treatment, and vacuum applications. SeaCor will not rust, scale, pit or corrode, nor are they subject to electrolysis, assuring many years of leak-free, maintenance-free service.

Size range: ½”–6” (up to 12" available on special order)

Fittings connections: Solvent cement, threaded, flanged

Advantages• Excellent chemical resistance • Non-toxic, physiologically inert• Tolerance fit for specific purpose• Easy and fast joining• Fast installation• Low installation cost with solvent cement• Drinking water approvals

What is SeaCor?

SeaCor is a High Performance Polymer containing proprietary compounds that allow the material to have lower flame spread

and smoke toxicity characteristics than other plastic piping systems available.

How is it assembled?

SeaCor is a solvent welded system utilizing a specially formulated primer and cement. We have incorporated optical bright-

eners in our SeaCor formulation that can be viewed with a UV light as a means of inspecting the system to ensure the proper

solvent cement* was used for joining that can be critical in marine applications; however, no special tooling is required for its

installation.

*SeaCor solvent cement has improved chemical resistance over conventional cements (chlorine resistance)

Can the system be used in the engine room?

Yes, SeaCor can be installed in

Category "A" machinery spaces for

"non essential" services and/or appli-

cations as approved by the USCG.

Can the system be installed in accom-

modation areas?

SeaCor is approved for installation in

concealed spaces in accommodation,

service, and control areas, and need

not meet the additional requirement of

46 CFR 56.60-25 (a) (2) which requires

the installation of smoke detectors.

How do we connect SeaCor into exist-

ing systems?

SeaCor is the same size as steel pipe;

connection methods include NPT and

150# flanges, also specialized Norma,

Waga, or similar approved combina-

tion grip couplings allow SeaCor to be

directly connected to IPS size metallic

pipe.

Is SeaCor fully approved by the USCG?

Yes, SeaCor is approved for use in

non-essential shipboard systems. The

USCG recognizes the IMO A753 (18)

Part 2 Low Smoke and Toxicity and

Part 5 Low Flame Spread as its test

criteria for plastics. SeaCor meets

these requirements and is approved

for applications in systems that do

not need fire endurance require-

ments under USCG Approval Number

164.141/36/0 dated December 30, 2011.

SeaCor™ Frequently Asked Questions

SeaCor™ Primer and CementCreated specifically for the marine application

SeaCor piping systems are joined in the field via the proven two-step primer and

cement solvent welding process — providing a quick, strong, leak-tight seal.

SeaCor primer is an industrial grade, low VOC emission, non-bodied, fast-acting,

primer. The strong, aggressive action of SeaCor primer rapidly softens and dis-

solves the joining surfaces of SeaCor pipe and fittings. The benefit of this priming

action is especially noticeable on parts being joined together in cold weather.

SeaCor solvent cement is especially formulated for marine applications using

SeaCor piping systems, including applications requiring chemical resistance to

caustics such as hypochlorite solutions, mineral acids, aggressive water and

aqueous salt solutions. SeaCor solvent cement is an industrial grade, low VOC

emission, heavy-bodied, high-strength, solvent cement. This specialty solvent

cement is orange in color and specifically formulated for use with USCG approved

SeaCor piping systems.

SeaCor primer and solvent cement contain an optical brightener (OB) visible under

black light. This enables easy field inspection of solvent-welded assemblies to

ensure proper joining technology was used.

No. 164.141/36/0

Does SeaCor have ABS or other approval?

Yes, SeaCor has ABS Product Design Approval #08-HS242939B-5-PDA issued on June 7, 2012. SeaCor, together with

SeaDrain Plus, are the only thermoplastic piping systems in the world approved by ABS to meet Transport Canada standards

for marine installations in Canada.

What systems can SeaCor be installed in?

SeaCor can be used in Class III "Non-Essential Systems" that do not require a fire endurance. (See applications on next page

for full details.)

Are there any other competitive mate-

rials that meet these standards?

There is no other commercially avail-

able thermoplastic piping system that

meets the USCG and Transport Canada

requirements.

Can this product be substituted by any

other thermoplastic piping system?

No, as of today, SeaCor and

SeaDrain Plus from GF Piping Systems

are the only thermoplastic piping

systems certified by a third party to

meet IMO A753 requirements for Low

Flame Spread and Low Smoke and

Toxicity.
