Coating on what?
Any sun exposure?
Any risk of mechanical damage?

I can't see neoprene holding up in the long term.

We always used black rubber vulcanised to the pipe or Splashtron. Both worked very well.

Polychloroprene around 15 mm or more, dependent upon metocean conditions, appears to have acceptable performance. Never had to deal with a monel clad riser although some operators have specifications for them in addition to those that they have for polychloroprene.

I missed another pro for monel: the finished pipe will not have to be shipped to and from a coating plant

I would use solid MONEL for everything, Ahmed ... You cannot be too safe ... Corrosion is 24/7

The whole pipeline, or just the splash zone?
