Both form part of our daily business:
Epoxy coatings
Fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings are well known for their anti-corrosion
properties over a wide temperature range. Their high resistance
to cathodic disbondment, long-term adhesion to steel and ability
to be stored in all climatic conditions make these thermosetting
coatings an environmentally safe industry standard.
Dual-layer, fusion-bonded epoxy (DFBE) coatings combine the strengths
of the mono layer with a second layer acting as mechanical protection.

Three-layer Polyolefin coatings
These coating systems combine the performance of epoxy with
the mechanical protection of polyolefin, which may be polyethylene
(3LPE) or polypropylene (3LPP). A copolymer adhesive layer
binds the two products. Both coating systems have excellent
adhesion properties and offer proven high resistance to impact
and cathodic disbondment. They provide optimum stability
over many years and their combination with adequate cathodic
protection is guaranteed to prolong the life of the pipeline.
3LPP coating has the advantage of providing high temperature
mechanical performance during production. This mechanical
strength also proves valuable during transport, handling
and the laying phase. |
