In sectors such as oil & gas, petrochemical, and energy, equipment and pipeline repairs have always been a major challenge. Traditionally, any intervention required lengthy shutdowns, costly surface cleaning to remove oil and grease, and often involved operational risks associated with hot work or confined space entry.

But a new era has begun.

Introducing Active Direct Adhesion (ADA) epoxy technology – a breakthrough that completely redefines how industries approach critical repairs. This innovation enables high-performance bonding and repair directly on contaminated surfaces, eliminating the need for complete cleaning or costly surface preparation.

🚀 Key Benefits of ADA Technology

1. Reduced downtime – repairs can be performed quickly, even while equipment remains in operation.
2. Cost savings – eliminates costly cleaning, logistics, and shutdown procedures.
3. Operational safety – no hot work required, minimizing fire and explosion risks.
4. Sustainability – reduced solvent use and waste generation.
5. High performance – ASTM and ISO testing confirm superior resistance to abrasion, compression, flexural stress, and pressure (up to 275 bar).
6. Durability – proven adhesion on oil- and grease-contaminated substrates.

Within this Active Direct Adhesion technology in coatings, we highlight:

• Maxmetal MAX5611 rapid-cure epoxy system is engineered for emergency leak sealing and substrate rebuilds in areas affected by hydrocarbon and oil contamination. Its formulation delivers fast adhesion, chemical tolerance, and structural stability under critical operating conditions. 

• For situations involving water, oil-water mixtures, or persistently damp and submerged substrates, Maxmetal MAX5361 provides a safe, durable, and long-lasting repair solution, ensuring reliable performance in both onshore and offshore environments.

🌍 Market Impact

More than just a product, ADA technology represents a competitive advantage for companies seeking efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in their operations.

A practical example: repairing the floating roof of a crude oil storage tank without draining or welding, drastically reducing costs, downtime, and risks, while protecting the environment.

ADA technology not only delivers immediate solutions but also extends the service life of critical assets, setting a new standard for industrial repair practices.
