Key Features

Why choose 3LPE coating for your pipeline projects

Superior Corrosion Protection

Triple-layer barrier isolates steel substrate from moisture, oxygen, and soil chemicals for decades of reliable service.

Long Service Life

Design life of 30–50+ years under normal buried conditions, reducing replacement and maintenance costs significantly.

Excellent Mechanical Properties

High impact resistance (≥10 J/mm), abrasion resistance, and penetration resistance protect the pipe during handling, transport, and installation.

Strong Cathodic Disbondment Resistance

FBE primer ensures strong adhesion to steel and excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment, critical for CP-protected pipelines.

Wide Temperature Range

Operates reliably from -40°C to +80°C with standard formulation; high-temperature variants available up to +110°C.

Global Standards Compliance

Certified to DIN 30670, CSA Z245.21, ISO 21809-1, and EN 10289. Full traceability and mill test certificates provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about 3LPE coated steel pipes

What is 3LPE coating?
3LPE (3-Layer Polyethylene) coating is a multi-layer anti-corrosion system consisting of: Layer 1 - Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) primer (~150μm), Layer 2 - copolymer adhesive, Layer 3 - polyethylene outer layer (2.5–3.7mm). It provides excellent mechanical protection and chemical resistance for buried and submerged pipelines.
What standards does 3LPE coating comply with?
Our 3LPE coating complies with DIN 30670, CSA Z245.21, ISO 21809-1, EN 10289, and NACE SP 0394 standards.
What pipe sizes can be 3LPE coated?
We can coat pipes with OD from 21.3mm to 2540mm. Common sizes are 219mm–1420mm for line pipe applications. Custom dimensions are available upon request.
What is the service temperature range of 3LPE coating?
Standard 3LPE coating operates from -40°C to +80°C. For higher temperature applications, we offer high-temperature variants up to +110°C.
How long does 3LPE coating last?
3LPE coating has a design life of 30–50+ years under normal operating conditions in buried service, making it one of the most durable pipeline coating systems available.
