Pipeline coating is the engineered application of protective layers to the external and/or internal surfaces of line pipe to control corrosion, resist mechanical damage, improve hydraulic performance, ...

Even after nearly a decade, the use of whitewash ultraviolet (UV) protective coatings proved to be extremely successful in preserving and retaining the original dry film thickness (DFT) of fusion bond ...

With submarine pipelines increasing in diameter and extending into deeper waters and more difficult environments, design requirements for concrete weight coating often don't meet current needs. The ...

Enhanced coated cast iron soil pipe products offer all the benefits of traditional cast iron while negating the major drawback of cast iron in aggressive applications: corrosion. In the 1890s, cast ...

For natural gas pipeline developers hunting for a good deal on a 100-mile section of steel pipe, a recent advertisement claimed to have just what they are looking for. Following the cancelation of the ...

Powder coatings are created using polymeric resins that are combined with pigments, curatives, flow modifiers, leveling agents, and additional additives. They are both solvent- and water-free systems.
