Key Features

Why FBE coating is the preferred choice for pipeline protection

Excellent Adhesion

FBE chemically bonds to the steel substrate, forming an inseparable protective layer with adhesion strength exceeding 2000 psi.

High Temperature Resistance

Dual-layer FBE withstands operating temperatures up to +110°C, suitable for hot oil and district heating pipelines.

Fast Application Process

Rapid induction heating and electrostatic spray application. FBE cures in seconds, enabling high-throughput production.

Superior CD Resistance

Excellent cathodic disbondment resistance ensures compatibility with cathodic protection systems for long-term pipeline integrity.

Environmentally Friendly

Zero VOC emissions during application, no solvents, and fully recyclable overspray powder make FBE an environmentally responsible choice.

Flexible & Bendable

FBE maintains integrity during pipe bending (≥2.5° per diameter length), making it suitable for field bends and cold-forming operations.

Applications

Where FBE coated pipes deliver maximum value

Oil & Gas Pipelines

Cross-country transmission pipelines requiring reliable buried corrosion protection with cathodic protection compatibility.

Directional Drilling (HDD)

Dual-layer abrasion-resistant FBE for horizontal directional drilling installations through rocky or abrasive soil conditions.

Water Transmission Mains

AWWA C213-compliant FBE for large-diameter potable water transmission pipelines with internal and external coating.

Chemical Process Piping

Internal FBE lining for chemical resistance in process piping, protecting against corrosive media and reducing flow friction.

Gas Distribution Networks

FBE coated steel pipe for city gas distribution mains, service lines, and metering stations with excellent soil stress resistance.

Oilfield OCTG

FBE external coating for API 5CT casing strings in corrosive oilfield environments with H2S and CO2 exposure.

Rebar Coating

FBE coated reinforcing steel (rebar) for concrete structures in marine environments, bridges, and parking structures requiring corrosion protection.

District Heating/Cooling

High-temperature dual-layer FBE for district heating supply and return lines operating at elevated temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about FBE coated steel pipes

What is FBE coating?
FBE (Fusion Bonded Epoxy) is a thermosetting epoxy powder coating applied to preheated steel pipe surfaces. The powder melts, flows, and cures into a hard, corrosion-resistant layer. It is widely used for buried pipelines, rebar coating, and internal lining applications.
What is the difference between single-layer and dual-layer FBE?
Single-layer FBE (350-500μm) provides standard corrosion protection. Dual-layer FBE (DPS) adds a second abrasion-resistant outer layer, providing enhanced mechanical protection, higher temperature resistance (up to 110°C), and better gouge resistance for directional drilling and rocky terrain.
What standards does FBE coating comply with?
Our FBE coating complies with CSA Z245.20, AWWA C213, ISO 21809-2, NACE RP 0394, and AS 3862 standards.
What pipe sizes can be FBE coated?
We can FBE coat pipes ranging from 21.3mm to 1420mm OD. Both internal and external FBE coating capabilities are available.
Can FBE be used for internal pipe coating?
Yes, FBE is an excellent choice for internal pipe lining. It provides smooth surface finish (reducing flow friction), chemical resistance, and anti-corrosion protection for water, gas, and oil pipelines.
