Project Details
The Bosch Group in India, which set up its manufacturing operation there in 1951, operates through twelve companies and has grown over the years to include eighteen manufacturing sites and seven development and application centres. They are a leading supplier of technology and services in the areas of Mobility Solutions, Industrial Technology, Consumer Goods, and Energy and Building Technology.
Due to severe corrosion issues on existing cooling tower pipes, the decision was made to dismantle the tower and install a new one. For the new tower’s protection, the client wanted a better solution than the FRP systems used previously. After much discussion and product demonstrations, Bosch approved the use of a Denso™ Petrolatum Tape system due to the ease of application, flexibility of the system and solid evidence of similar successful projects in our case history list.
After successful application on the pipes, a Denso Hi-Tack Tape™ system has now been selected for the protection of other on-site structures.
