Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating

Fusion-Bonded Epoxy Coatings are thermoplastically hardening layers of epoxy resin applied to steel pipes using an electrostatic process, and which protects them against corrosion. Fusion-Bonded Epoxy Coatings can be applied at service temperatures of up to 230 degrees Fahrenheit (110 degrees Celsius); the typical thickness is 14 to 18 mils (350 to 450 micrometers). A second layer (Abrasion Resistant Overlay — ARO) creates an excellent resistance to damage for the pipeline itself, even under the most difficult environmental conditions.

Internal Pipe Coatings

Coatings that Increase the Efficiency of Flow-rate

Liquid Epoxy Resin is sprayed on the inside of the pipes at a typical thickness of 3 to 4 mils (60 to 100 micrometers). The result is an improvement of the gas transportation capacity, a minimization of frictional resistance and thus a reduction in compressor stations. Simplified cleaning and temporary protection against rust make flow coating a unique and cost-efficient solution for gas transportation.
