Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Coating
Thinly coated with epoxy-resin powder materials, applied by specialised electrostatic spraying, Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating is used as a standard in industries where protection of steel substrate is required when it is exposed to extreme conditions like wide temp range upto 85°C in dry stipulations and harsh chemicals to protect against corrosion. Having good handling characteristics, FBE coated pipes are flexible and resistant to soil pressure. At Hind Metal, we assist to protect external surface of carbon steel pipes with single and dual layer fusion bonded epoxy coating as required. This external coating not only provides corrosion and chemical resistance but UV resistance too. Also, it has very low moisture permeability.
The two coating layers in dual layer coated pipe are as follows:
Depending on the application, the dual-layer FBE can also come with an Abrasion-Resistant Overcoat (ARO), to reduce damage to pipes.
Features We Protect
- Corrosion and chemical resistant
- High resistance to cathodic disbondment
- Increase the life span of steel pipes
- High bond strength that firmly bonds to the mild steel pipe surface.
Bond Strength We Provide
FBE coating and lining performed at Hind Metal is bonded firmly to the mild steel pipe surface and the mean adhesion strength is 125 kg/cm² (ASTM D 4541)
Working Life We Promise
At Hind Metal, we promise consistent performance characteristics of our FBE coated pipes throughout the service life span
