What is DFBE?
DFBE is a layer of anti-corrosion coating followed by abrasion resistant overcoat which provides excellent results for pipe being used in abrasive conditions.
What is 3LPE coating?
3-Layer Polyethylene (3LPE) is a multilayer coating composed of three functional components: A high performance Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) primer, followed by a copolymer adhesive and an outer layer of polyethylene which provides tough, durable protection.
What is 3LPP coating?
Share Back. 3-Layer Polypropylene (3LPP) is a multilayer coating composed of three functional components; a high performance Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) primer, followed by a copolymer adhesive, and an outer layer of polypropylene which provides one of the toughest, most durable pipe coating solutions available.
What is the meaning of FBE coating?
Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) is a thermosetting powder applied anti-corrosion coating that provides excellent protection for small to large diameter pipelines at up to moderate operating temperatures.
What is PE coated pipe?
PE Coated Steel Pipe is a group of pipes that are coated with polyethylene over the metallic component. There are different types of PE Coated Carbon Steel Pipe products in use. Basic 3 types of coatings are used. The LDPE, the LDPE super seal and the HDPE are the three types.
What is extruded pipe coating?
Side extrusion is for coating pipe in the range of 4-to-145 inches in diameter. In this process, cleaned and adhesive-primed pipe travels spirally through the extruder where several layers of molten polymer are applied in flat sheet form and squeezed against the pipe by a silicone rubber roller.
How is fusion bonded epoxy applied?
Fusion bond epoxy is an environmentally-safe thermosetting coating that is sprayed onto the pipe surface after it has been cleaned and heated to over 450ºF. The epoxy powder melts onto the steel surface and fuses to the pipe, creating a hard barrier.
What is coated pipe?
If you have never heard of internal pipe coating, it is a process used to repair old, leaky plumbing pipes by leaving the pipe structure in place and coating the interior of the pipes with an epoxy coating. It saves a great deal of money over replacing your entire plumbing system.
What is polypropylene coating?
Since the eighties, polypropylene copolymer coatings have been used for the protection of the external surface of on-shore and off-shore pipelines. Polypropylene is one of the most suitable coatings when high mechanical properties (impact resistance, penetration resistance, etc.) and/or heat resistance are required.
How thick is FBE coating?
Single layer coating (FBE) 12-50 mils (305 µm-1270 µm); typical nominal thickness is 16 mils (406 µm). Dual layer coating (FBE and ARO) 12-20 mils (305 µm-508 µm) of FBE and 15-40 mils (381 µm-1016 µm) of ARO; typical, nominal thickness of the system is 30 mils (762 µm).
How is FBE applied?
During the FBE process: the pipe surface is cleaned and heated. epoxy powder is electrostatically applied onto the pipe. the powder melts onto the pipe and quickly dries into a uniform and controlled thickness.
What are the industry standards for FBE coating?
The industry standards relating to FBE coating include: The Canadian Standards Association External Fusion Bond Epoxy Coating for Steel Pipe/External Polyethylene Coating for Pipe ( CSA Z245.20/06)
Who are the manufacturers of fusion bonded epoxy coating?
The top producers and manufacturers of fusion bonded epoxy coating in the world are AkzoNobel, Jotun, Valspar, BASF, Axalta, 3M, and Sherwin-Williams. Below we have compiled a sample list of fusion bonded epoxy coating applicators and specialists operating in United States.
