One of the most environmentally friendly methods of protection, epoxy coating, a product of natural and organic resin. Resin, which often comes from coniferous trees and plants, is used for its ability to chemically synthesize and then into useful products such as paints, adhesives, perfumes, and epoxy coating, among others.

Epoxy resin is produced through a process of polymerization. The Bio-epoxy is catalyzing, fillers and pigments, with a dry powder that, when heated, melts and causes a reaction, the formation of complex networked polymers. Once cured and dried, epoxy coating provides a tough, UV resistant, and the permanent protection of the steel materials.

Fusion bound Epoxy (FBE)-coated

Fusion bonded epoxy coating is a method of applying corrosion protective epoxy coating for steel pipes, reinforcing steel (reinforcing), tubes and valves. Epoxy powder is melted at temperatures ranging from 180 to 250 ° C (360 to 480 ° F), and transforms into a fluid, and clings to the steel surface. Once the liquid powder dries, then left, or "fusion band" on the surface of the steel is durable, protecting the steel structure effectively and permanently.

Fusion bonded epoxy coatings are used in industries, steel pipes and fittings, the corrosion-Friday Since epoxy coating consists of environmentally friendly materials, structures with epoxy coatings contain no solvents or hazardous substances from and to health and safety risks.

The epoxy coating process

Epoxy coating plants generally coat bars, pre-cut in straight lengths of about 40 to 60 feet. The bars are then cut and bent to project specifications. The beams are supported by a conveyor belt and one of the epoxy coating process.

In preparation of steel surfaces for the epoxy coating process, cleaning process is done at rest, scales and other contaminants from the steel surface. The final result of the cleaning process is a rough surface profile. The profile increases the effective area of steel and a better anchoring of epoxy coating, if it later in the steel rod.

Blast cleaning with the release of compressed air on the steel surface, propelling charge abrasives such as steel K, garnet, coal slag and on the surface, resulting in pock marks, cleaning and roughening of the surface.

Following the strengthening of steel blast cleaned, heated and sprayed with a dry epoxy powder. When dry epoxy powder is ejected from syringe she radiates with electrical charges, which are automatically grounded to the already heated bars. The powder melts and flows in the steel of the heated surface, anchored to the ribs and deformations in the surface. The heat also has a chemical reaction that transforms the powder epoxy molecules in complex networked polymers, always changing the material in its final phase.

A 30-second curing solidifies the epoxy coating, with an air or water quench leads to a lowering of the temperature quickly for easy handling.

The process of manufacture of epoxy coating and the coating, its efficient and safe environment, with little material is lost in the atmosphere, including less waste and zero contaminants. Because of the environmental audit and to meet environmental safety regulations, epoxy coating remains a viable decision to protective coating.
