Triton Hydrogen unveils Tritonex hydrogen barrier coating system

In the quest for sustainable energy solutions, Triton Hydrogen has unveiled the Tritonex Hydrogen Barrier Coating System (HBCS), a water-based coating used primarily as an internal lining in pipes, storage vessels and components for protection against hydrogen leakage, material embrittlement and all forms of corrosion.

Tritonex HBCS can be applied manually and robotically, offering significant advantages for original equipment manufacturers (OEM) and field retrofitting. Tritonex has demonstrated zero hydrogen permeation in rigorous tests, earning it the ISO 17081:2014 certification.

Given its tiny molecular size, hydrogen can leak through even solid steel. While current containment methods can slow leakage, they cannot completely stop it, according to the company. Tritonex HBCS stands out for its unique composition and properties, incorporating a revolutionary nano-ingredient that renders it completely impermeable to hydrogen. This electrically inert and chemically resistant coating also entirely prevents corrosion.

The coating’s resilience to extreme temperatures, flexibility in response to thermal expansion, and non-toxic nature make it ideally suited to hydrogen containment across a broad spectrum of applications.
