About Coating Type
The anti-corrosion coating type FBE+3LPE is applicable to ERW/LSAW/SSAW pipes, straight seam pipes, seamless steel pipes, as well as pipe fittings like elbows, etc. FBE epoxy powder coating, applied via electrostatic spraying, features simple operation, cleanliness, good impact and flexural resistance, and temperature resistance. 2LPE/3LPE coating, consisting of epoxy powder, binder, and polyethylene, offers excellent chemical corrosion resistance, cathodic stripping resistance, and mechanical damage resistance. Coated pipes and pipe fittings such as elbows with FBE+3LPE are widely used in petroleum, chemical, natural gas, heating, sewage treatment, water supply, bridges, steel structures, piling, and other marine water pipeline projects, with 3LPE being a mainstream anti-corrosion technology for buried pipes and relevant pipe fittings at home and abroad due to its superior performance.
