FBE Epoxy Coated Carbon Steel Pipe

FBE Coated Pipe supplier in India

Liquid Epoxy vs Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coated Pipe

Aside from the fact that the media used to coat them are different, the application time and curing duration differ as well. Typically, a liquid Epoxy Coated Carbon Steel Pipe uses two substrates and has a shorter application time, but a longer curing time than powder FBE coating.

High build vs low build epoxy Lining

A high build Epoxy Lining is considered to be commercially attractive despite being more expensive than a low build one for several reasons. However, the main reason is that they are chemically more resistant than the former and they have a heavy built, thus making a high build FBE Coated Pipe more durable.

Different types of epoxy coatings

External FBE Coating for Oil and Gas Pipeline according to AWWA C210, providing high quality epoxy coating like Liquid epoxy coating, 3PE or FBE for pipe surface treatment

FBE Pipe coating process

This process involves cleaning, followed by an electrostatic application of the powdered Epoxy Coating. The application of the powder coating is to be on a heated component as it aids in the easy melting of the powder. Upon application, the coating is to be finally cured.

Is epoxy coating waterproof?

A unique point about the Epoxy Coated Pipe is that the coating forms a sealed layer, that not only prevents corrosion but also makes it waterproof.
