Oil & Gas / Offshore Operations
As the authorised UAE distributor and applicator, Maisam Trading LLC supplies genuine Gentoo product and provides professional application services to oil and gas operators, offshore contractors, and refinery facility managers across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah, and the Northern Emirates.
Protect UAE Offshore and Onshore Oil & Gas Assets — Supplied by Maisam Trading LLC
The UAE's oil and gas sector operates in one of the world's harshest corrosion environments. Offshore platforms in Abu Dhabi's territorial waters face constant salt spray, high humidity, extreme UV, and galvanic coupling between dissimilar metals in structural assemblies. Onshore refineries and petrochemical plants deal with sour gas, produced water with high chloride content, and process chemical exposure that outpaces coating design life — particularly at welds, edges, and threaded connections.
Conventional coating systems protect accessible flat surfaces adequately but consistently fail first at the most critical points: welds, cut edges, flanges, and tight crevices. That is where corrosion initiates, maintenance costs compound, and safety risks accumulate. Maisam Trading LLC brings Gentoo — the only conformal, sol-gel hydrophobic topcoat of this specification available in the UAE — directly to operators across all seven emirates.

What Gentoo Delivers for Oil & Gas / Offshore Operations in the UAE
- Corrosion control at failure points: Gentoo's conformal sol-gel film covers welds, flanges, bolted joints, and threaded connections uniformly — adding a physical ion barrier and electronic insulation layer that slows corrosion where other coatings fail.
- Saltwater and brine shedding: Gentoo's hydrophobic surface causes salt-laden water and brine to bead and roll rather than pooling at vulnerable joints — dramatically reducing contact time that drives pitting and crevice corrosion on UAE offshore structural steel.
- Galvanic corrosion reduction: Gentoo's electrically non-conductive film interrupts galvanic coupling between steel structures, aluminium panels, copper alloy valves, and stainless steel fasteners routinely joined in UAE offshore assemblies.
- Chemical resistance: Gentoo demonstrates strong resistance to most hydrocarbon oils, solvents, and process chemicals — suitable for refinery, petrochemical, and pipeline environments.
- Faster equipment cleaning: Crude oil residue, drilling mud, and production chemicals release far more readily from Gentoo-treated surfaces. At a major oilfield equipment rental company, BOP cleaning time dropped from over one hour to approximately 15 minutes per unit.
- Compliance marking preservation: Gentoo is crystal clear. Pressure ratings, valve positions, piping colour codes, and hazard markings remain fully visible — critical for UAE oil and gas facilities regulated under ADNOC and international HSE standards.

Some of questions answered here.
Can Gentoo be applied without full blast cleaning on offshore assets?
Yes. Gentoo can be applied over clean, sound existing paint without requiring abrasive blast cleaning to bare metal — making it practical for rope-access and in-service touch-up programmes where blasting is not operationally feasible.
Does Gentoo help with galvanic corrosion on offshore mixed-metal assemblies?
Yes. Gentoo's non-conductive polymer film interrupts the electron flow that drives galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals — reducing galvanic current at steel-aluminium, steel-copper, and other mixed-metal junctions common in UAE offshore assemblies.
