Insights
PPG's launch of PPG PITT-THERM® 909 spray-on insulation coating marks a significant advancement in industrial coatings. The silicone-based formula addresses critical challenges in high-heat environments, particularly in oil & gas and petrochemical sectors. Its ability to withstand temperatures up to 500°F (260°C) while keeping external surfaces safe to touch at 310°F (154°C) is a game-changer for worker safety.
The coating's water-repellent properties and corrosion resistance tackle the persistent issue of corrosion under insulation (CUI), potentially leading to reduced maintenance costs and fewer operational shutdowns. The ability to apply it to hot substrates without shutdowns is a major operational advantage. However, the true test will be its long-term performance in real-world conditions, which will determine its market adoption rate.
The introduction of PPG PITT-THERM® 909 coating represents a leap forward in industrial safety. By maintaining safe-touch temperatures on surfaces up to 310°F, it significantly reduces burn risks in high-heat environments. This is important in industries where worker proximity to hot equipment is unavoidable.
The coating's ASTM E84 Class A fire rating further enhances its safety profile. Its resistance to moisture absorption addresses a key vulnerability in traditional insulation systems, potentially reducing incidents related to corrosion-induced failures. The ability to apply fewer coats not only improves efficiency but also minimizes worker exposure during application. However, proper training in application techniques will be essential to ensure these safety benefits are fully realized in practice.
While PPG's new coating technology is impressive, its financial impact may be in the short term. The product targets a niche market within the industrial coatings sector, which represented about
However, the long-term outlook is more positive. If the product proves successful, it could lead to higher margins due to its specialized nature and potential for reducing customer costs. The ability to apply the coating without operational shutdowns could be a strong selling point, potentially accelerating adoption and creating a competitive advantage. Investors should monitor the product's uptake in key industries and its impact on PPG's protective coatings segment performance in coming quarters.

Conventional waterborne acrylic or epoxy-based SOI coatings cannot be used on equipment operating above 350 F (177 C). Silicone-based PPG Pitt-Therm 909 coating offers much greater temperature resistance; thermal testing shows that it endures continuous and cyclic temperatures as high as 500 F, and by reducing heat transfer, external surfaces remain safe to touch at up to 310 F, significantly reducing the risk of burns.
Application testing of PPG Pitt-Therm 909 coating has also shown that fewer coats are necessary compared to traditional SOI coatings, providing operational efficiency benefits for customers. It can be applied in thicknesses of up to 250 mils (6.35 mm) per coat and depending on the specific application requirements, only one or two coats are needed, substantially cutting down the time and cost of the insulation process. Despite the reduced number of layers, it can achieve a higher total coating thickness of up to 500 mils and cure times are comparable to competing products.
Application to both hot and cold substrates is also viable, allowing assets to remain in service during application – a significant advantage over traditional methods that require operational shutdowns.
“PPG Pitt-Therm 909 coating represents our team’s ongoing commitment to advancing industry standards through innovation,” said Bill Pernice, PPG global segment director, oil and gas, Protective and Marine Coatings. “This solution tackles the industry’s long-standing challenges by delivering high heat resistance and water-repelling properties, elevating safety and performance in demanding environments.”
PPG Pitt-Therm 909 coating also addresses critical challenges of traditional mechanical insulation systems, notably their susceptibility to moisture absorption and corrosion under insulation (CUI). Water-repellent PPG Pitt-Therm 909 has demonstrated exceptional corrosion resistance in rigorous testing. Results show that it is an optimal solution for CUI prevention for reduced maintenance costs, operational shutdowns and safety incidents.
