With the Therm-O-Signal paint system, Lakfabriek Korthals has a special range of temperature sensitive paints in its portfolio. These paints<\/a> change color after reaching a pre-defined temperature. This way you are more aware of crisis situations and can react faster and more adequately. In this article you can read for which applications in the process industry and offshore<\/a> the color sensitive paints of Korthals can be used. And why you have a flawless system with Therm-O-Signal.<\/p>\n

Temperature sensitive paint makes heat visible<\/h2>\n

The idea behind temperature sensitive paints is as simple as it is effective. The paints change color when a predetermined temperature range is exceeded, so you can see the actual threat at a glance. The Therm-O-Signal tempetature sensitive paint<\/a> can be applied to existing thermally insulated housings.<\/p>\n

Real chance of overheating (petro) chemical installations<\/h2>\n

Many chemical and petrochemical companies, both onshore and offshore, use critical, thermal installations, such as chemical reactors. There is always the risk of a thermal runaway reaction. During the production process it is necessary to maintain a constant high temperature. This process can be disrupted due to technical, human and organizational factors. In short: there is a real chance of overheating.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that many of these companies hold high priority on risk management<\/strong>, it is often a challenge for them to properly monitor excessive heat generation. Using Therm-O-Signal paints the chance of overheating remains, but this will be noticed at a much earlier stage<\/strong>. In this way you prevent overheating from taking on disastrous proportions, because with this paint system you can:<\/p>\n
