The developer of the cold spray additive manufacturing process Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ is working with assurance and risk management provider DNV to obtain certifications for its advanced coating and repair technologies across the Oil & Gas and Maritime sectors.
A qualification target for offshore coatings
A primary objective of the collaboration is to achieve qualification under the NORSOK M-501 standard, a globally respected benchmark for surface preparation and protective coating of offshore installations developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry. This certification—alongside engagement with other leading classification societies such as Lloyd’s Register, ABS, and Bureau Veritas—will validate the Titomic Kinetic FusionTM cold spray additive manufacturing technology for high-performance, corrosion-resistant applications in harsh marine and offshore environments.
“This agreement with DNV marks a significant step forward for Titomic as we expand into the global energy and maritime markets. NORSOK M-501 and related maritime certifications will enable Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ to be recognized for Thermal Spray Aluminum (TSA) repairs, surface protection of field welds, and restoration of marine hulls, ballast tanks, subsea infrastructure, and pipeline systems. Working with DNV ensures our technology is held to the highest international standards,” Klaas Rozema, President of Titomic EMEA said.
Repairing assets in remote environments
Global demand for asset integrity, corrosion mitigation, and extended lifecycle solutions is rising. In this context, Titomic’s non-thermal, portable Kinetic Fusion cold spray process offers significant operational advantages over traditional welding or heat-based coating methods. These include reduced repair downtime, on-site applicability, and enhanced safety. Such advantages are critical in the remote conditions of oil rigs, ships, ports, and subsea installations.
“This collaboration reinforces Titomic’s commitment to delivering practical, efficient, and reliable repair solutions for mission-critical infrastructure. Our Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ technology is not only easy to deploy on-site, but it also allows for rapid repairs, minimal downtime, and extended operational life of high-value assets. The process is highly material-efficient, using only the required powder with minimal waste, and offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods—especially in remote or offshore environments where speed and precision are essential,” Jim Simpson, CEO and Managing Director of Titomic.
This initiative supports Titomic’s broader strategy to offer certified, sustainable solutions for repairing, refurbishing, and protecting critical infrastructure. It further strengthens the company’s presence across global shipbuilding, offshore energy, and industrial asset management markets.
