FUSION BOND EPOXY - FBE PIPE CORROSION PREVENTION |
Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) provides corrosion protection of pipes and pipe pilings in service in the harshest environments. This field-proven pipe coating protects against soil stress, bacteria and fungus attack, soil acid, alkalis and all other corrosive elements associated with below ground or underwater use. FBE is also resistant to cathodic disbondment in long term performance under a wide range of service conditions and ambient temperatures. Fusion Bond Epoxy has tough physical properties that minimize damage during transit, installation and operation. This coating also demonstrates superior chemical resistance in long term service in a variety of soil conditions. FBE protective coatings provide an excellent base for ARO systems and joint coatings. |
ABRASION RESISTANT OVERCOATING - ARO PIPE PHYSICAL PROTECTION |
Abrasion Resistant Overcoating (ARO) adds tough physical protection to Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) coatings on pipes and pipe pilings. ARO is an extremely hard and mechanically strong overcoating designed to protect FBE on pipes from damage during directional drilling and boring. ARO also offers abrasion protection for coated pipe and pipe pilings installed in hot or wet applications such as river crossings and rough terrain. ARO is compatible with all Fusion Bond Epoxy pipe coatings and chemically bonds at the layered interface to create a field-proven pipe corrosion protection system. This tough outer coating also retains a high degree of flexibility that exceeds specification limits of steel for field bending. Please click here to download a .pdf of the L.B.
