About Fusion bond Epoxy
It is a high-performance, thermoset powder coating used primarily to protect steel pipes, pipelines, and reinforcing bars (rebars) from corrosion. Applied as a dry powder to preheated steel, it melts into a liquid, flows, and cures into a solid, chemically bonded protective layer.
Superior Anti-corrosive ProtectionFusion Bond Epoxy's engineered formulation provides excellent corrosion resistance for industrial metal surfaces. Its thick, uniform layer forms a durable barrier against harsh environments, significantly extending the service life of pipelines and rebars. Rigorously tested to meet international standards, it assures long-term reliability in demanding applications.
Durability and VersatilityWith an outstanding adhesion strength of 18 N/mm2 and excellent mechanical resistance, Fusion Bond Epoxy withstands heavy usage and extreme conditions. This versatile coating adheres firmly to various metal substrates, making it suitable for use across a wide range of industries, including oil, gas, and construction.
FAQ's of Fusion bond Epoxy:
Q: How is Fusion Bond Epoxy applied to metal surfaces?
A: Fusion Bond Epoxy is applied by electrostatic spray or using a fluidized bed technique. The powder is attracted to the pre-heated metal surface, then cured at 180-250C to create a seamless, durable coating.
Q: What are the benefits of using Fusion Bond Epoxy as an anti-corrosive coating?
A: This epoxy offers excellent chemical and mechanical resistance, outstanding adhesion, and superior corrosion protection. Its robust coating helps prolong the lifespan of pipelines, rebars, and metal structures even in aggressive environments.
Q: When should Fusion Bond Epoxy be used in industrial applications?
A: It is ideal for new installations or maintenance of pipelines, rebars, and critical metal surfaces requiring maximum protection against corrosion and mechanical wear. It is especially recommended for exposure to harsh chemicals or moisture.
Q: Where can Fusion Bond Epoxy-coated items be used?
A: Components coated with Fusion Bond Epoxy are suitable for a variety of environments, including underground, submerged, and above-ground settings. Common applications include oil and gas pipelines, reinforced concrete, and industrial infrastructure.
Q: What is the storage recommendation for Fusion Bond Epoxy powder?
A: Store the powder in a cool, dry area, away from moisture and direct heat. Proper storage extends shelf life up to 12 months from the date of manufacture and preserves its quality.
Q: Is Fusion Bond Epoxy safe and compliant with industry standards?
A: Yes, it is non-toxic when used as recommended and complies with ASTM D7091 and ISO 21809-2 standards. It also passes rigorous tests such as salt spray and cathodic disbondment for corrosion resistance.
