Protective Coating Services for Oil & Gas Equipment

AST provides specialised fluoropolymer and protective coating services for oil and gas and related process industries. Typical applications include valves, diverters, pipes, spools and fabricated process assemblies operating in corrosive, chemically aggressive or maintenance-intensive environments. Our coating services are selected to help reduce corrosion, improve chemical resistance, protect valuable process equipment and support longer service life in difficult operating conditions.

Where required, AST applies fluoropolymer systems such as Tefzel coating and Halar coating technologies for barrier protection and industrial durability. For oil, gas and process industries, supplier credibility matters where coating performance is tied directly to asset life and maintenance risk. AST is the only licensed industrial fluoropolymer applicator in Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia, with yearly technical and quality audits by Chemours Global.

Valve and Diverter Coating Services

Valves and diverters often require more than a general-purpose surface treatment. In many cases, the requirement is for chemical resistance, corrosion protection, reduced fouling or a durable fluoropolymer barrier lining that supports longer service life under demanding process conditions. AST supports customers who need practical coating protection for flow-control equipment exposed to aggressive media, corrosive compounds or difficult cleaning environments.

  • Gate, ball and butterfly valves
  • Diverters and flow-control bodies
  • Valve internals and seats
  • Associated fittings and hardware

Pipe and Spool Coating Services

Pipes and spools used in process industries commonly require heavy-duty fluoropolymer lining systems where media compatibility and barrier performance are essential. AST positions this capability around practical industrial outcomes including resistance to aggressive chemical environments, support for equipment longevity and restoration of valuable fabricated assets.

  • Process pipes and lined spools
  • Fabricated pipework assemblies
  • Flanged connections and fittings
  • Refurbishment of existing pipework

Protective Fluoropolymer Linings for Process Equipment

Halar coating is associated with ECTFE barrier linings for chemical resistance, while Tefzel coating is linked to ETFE-based protective fluoropolymer systems used where durability, corrosion resistance and process suitability matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fluoropolymer coatings are used on oil and gas equipment?
Oil and gas applications typically use ETFE (Tefzel) coating or ECTFE (Halar) coating for valves, spools, diverters and process assemblies where chemical resistance, corrosion protection and durable service performance are required. Tefzel is commonly specified for protective fluoropolymer performance on valves and spools, while Halar is selected where barrier lining and strong chemical resistance are the primary requirements.
Can existing oil and gas valves and spools be recoated?
Yes. AST supports both new fluoropolymer coating projects and refurbishment of existing valves, spools, diverters and process hardware. Where equipment has experienced coating degradation or corrosion damage, AST can strip, re-prepare and recoat to restore protective performance and extend service life.
What is the difference between Tefzel and Halar for oil and gas applications?
Both Tefzel (ETFE) and Halar (ECTFE) are fluoropolymer systems relevant to oil and gas applications. Tefzel is commonly used on valves and spools where durable industrial protection and corrosion resistance are the primary requirements. Halar provides stronger barrier lining performance and is preferred where aggressive chemical exposure or permeation resistance is the main concern.
