The name of the fusion-bond epoxy coating has been attributed to the resin cross-linking along with the application method, both of which are different from the more conventionally used paint. The resin and hardener components in the dry powder used on the Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coated Pipes remain non-reactive at regular storage conditions. Typically the coating is applied at temperatures, ranging between 180 to 250 °C. Tthe contents of the powder us to be first melted followed by transformation to a liquid form. The liquid FBE film is applied by wetting after which the coating is permitted to flow onto the steel surface by the fbe coating pipes manufacturers. Soon, the coating solidifies by a chemical cross-linking process with some assistance by heat.
This process is what manufacturers of the FBE Coated Anti Corrosion Pipes refer to as a fusion bonding process. The chemical cross-linking reaction that takes place in this instance tends to be irreversible. Hence, once the curing process has taken place, the coating cannot be returned to its original powder form by any means. Which means the application of heat further on the FBE Coated Line Pipes will not melt the coating. Thus the term thermoset is well suited for FBE coating.
FBE coating or commonly referred to as Fusion bonded epoxy coating, is an epoxy resin based powder coating. This kind of powder coating is used across several industries, wherein steel pipes require protection. For instance, the FBE Coated Pipes is regularly used in the construction of a corrosion resistant piping system, concrete reinforcing bars or also known as rebar in addition to being used in a wide variety of piping connections, valves etc. from corrosion. The Fusion bonded epoxy coating is essentially a thermoset polymer coating. This is on account of the epoxy resin being irreversibly hardened by a curing process. FBE coating falls under the category of protective coatings as seen in both paints as well as coating nomenclature.
