Sealing solutions for LNG

The liquefied natural gas (LNG) market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by growing energy​ demand. However, industry players are facing major challenges: energy transition, stringent regulations, and political instability. In this context, Hutchinson positions itself as a key partner, ensuring the safety and reliability of installation through customized sealing, insulation, and protection solutions, while minimising its environmental footprint.​

For over 30 years, Hutchinson has been supplying TRIPLEX, designed as flexible secondary barrier, to guarantee the tightness of LNG tanks such as those on LNG carriers. Present on more than a third of the world’s LNG tanker fleet and with more than 360 references, this solution provides long-lasting performance thanks to its robust mechanical properties.​​

We also manufacture thermal insulation panels that withstand extreme heat and cold, for a wide range of applications.​

Our Protection and Insulation Solutions:​

• Triplex (Triplex-F as Flexible Seconday Barrier (FSB) and Triplex-R as Rigid Seconday Barrier (RSB)  is the secondary barrier providing leak-tight protection against LNG fluid leaks, integrated into the Mark III system along the walls of LNG carrier tanks.​​
• Zaltex is an innovative 2-in-1 panel combining passive fire protection (PFP) and cryogenic spill protection (CSP), while ensuring optimal thermal insulation in the most demanding environments.​

Thanks to its expertise and cutting-edge technologies, Hutchinson supports its customers in optimizing their infrastructure, combining safety, performance, and sustainability.​
