Single Layer FBE Coatings

Resicoat Single Layer Pipe Coatings


Resicoat Single Layer Pipe Coatings comprise a range of stand-alone pipeline protection coatings. They are the most cost-effective coatings for general pipeline operations.




Some of their outstanding performance features are:

- Excellent adhesion to metal substrate
- High resistance to cathodic disbonding
- Excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties
- High bendability, even at higher film thickness




Application Process


Resicoat pipe powders should be applied to clean near white metal (e. g. acc. SSPC-SP 10) pipe surfaces having an open and angular anchor pattern and a surface profile of 50-100 µm (2-4 mils). Appropriate chemical treatments are recommended. The application temperature for FBE powders should be between 210-240° C (410-465° F). Film thicknesses between 300-700 µm (12-28 mils) are recommended.
