As the oil and gas industry faces growing environmental pressures, integrating sustainable practices is now more essential than ever. Although the industry remains vital to global energy needs, it also presents significant environmental challenges. Northpoint is addressing these concerns head-on with our high-performance, eco-friendly powder coatings, specifically designed to enhance the durability of essential equipment while supporting a greener future.
Corrosion is one of the most challenging issues in the oil and gas sector. Equipment exposed to harsh environments, like offshore platforms and drilling rigs, is especially vulnerable to degradation. Traditional coatings can help but often involve harsh chemicals or processes that harm the environment. Northpoint’s corrosion-resistant powder coatings, however, provide robust protection without compromising environmental values. Unlike conventional coatings that may release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere, Northpoint’s powder coatings are VOC-free and designed with longevity in mind. This reduces the need for frequent reapplications, minimising both operational downtime and material waste.
Northpoint is committed to providing real environmental benefits rather than engaging in “greenwashing” — the practice of making unsubstantiated or misleading claims about environmental benefits. Northpoint’s coatings are a genuinely sustainable solution, rigorously tested to meet industry demands while remaining transparent about their environmental impact, and all coating work at Northpoint is overseen by NACE 2 and NACE 3 inspectors and can be coated by Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) or multicomponent liquids (wet paint). By prioritising genuine eco-friendly practices and avoiding empty claims, Northpoint ensures that clients in the oil and gas industry can trust the green benefits and high-quality of these coatings.
Energy efficiency is another cornerstone of our operations. Powder coating is an inherently efficient process, often requiring lower curing temperatures than traditional liquid coatings. This energy-efficient approach reduces overall energy consumption, lowering both environmental impact and operational costs. Northpoint’s commitment to sustainability proves that high performance and eco-conscious practices can coexist, even in high-demand sectors like oil and gas.
As the oil and gas industry navigates the path toward sustainability, choosing high-quality, eco-friendly coatings like those from Northpoint can make a tangible difference. Northpoint’s approach proves that future-proofing essential equipment against corrosion and environmental wear doesn’t mean sacrificing environmental responsibility. Instead, it presents an opportunity for the oil and gas sector to build a stronger, more resilient, and sustainable foundation for the future.
