Our products are greener than traditional methods, avoiding air pollution and producing less waste. We are committed to a clean planet and a clean work environment.
WHAT IS POWDER COATING?
Dependable and cost effective, powder coating consists is mixture of finely ground particles of pigments and resins sprayed (normally electrostatically) to a surface. It is then heated and fused into a smooth coating. Our Powdura powder coating system consists of a zinc-rich epoxy primer and a topcoat of high-quality polyester.
Powdura coating is electrostatically applied.
Surfaces are blast cleaned or chemically pre-treated.

WHAT IS FUSION BONDED EPOXY?
Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) is an epoxy-based powder coating that is applied to pipe and steel to protect from corrosion. The powder is applied to the substrate, normally to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit, where the powder melts into a liquid form and becomes a solid coating by chemical cross-linking. This process is known as fusion bonding and will greatly extend the life of your project piping.
Phenolic primer is applied, and the substrate is heated and coated.
Pipes are inspected, including holiday detection and thickness checks.
Pipes are prepared with internal grinding and blast cleaning

Save Money
Stainless steel can cost 3 to 6 times more than carbon steel coating. Carbon steel saves you money on both pipes and fittings.
WELDING PROCESS
On every single weld, stainless steel can cost 25% more that carbon steel. Reduce costs throughout production and in the future.

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM
We’d love to treat you and your team to lunch and discuss the challenges of mitigating corrosion. We’ll give engineers, project managers, and project designers important knowledge of the coating process, allowing for better piping designs and material choices for project feasibility. Our team will give you a tour of our facility and help you find ways to improve your operation, protect your investments, and reduce your number of pipe failures. We look forward to answering all of your questions.
