In industries where steel structures, pipelines, and metal components are exposed to extreme environmental conditions, corrosion protection is not optional—it is essential. FBE Epoxy and FBE Powder have emerged as highly reliable coating solutions that deliver long-term protection, durability, and performance. At Heatman Products, we specialize in high-quality FBE coating solutions designed to meet the demanding needs of oil & gas, water pipelines, infrastructure, and industrial applications.
FBE Epoxy stands for Fusion Bonded Epoxy, a thermosetting epoxy-based coating applied in powder form to heated metal substrates, mainly steel. The powder melts, flows, and chemically reacts to form a strong, continuous, and corrosion-resistant protective layer.
This coating is widely used for pipelines, valves, fittings, rebars, and storage tanks because of its excellent adhesion and resistance to harsh environments. Once cured, FBE epoxy forms a tough barrier that prevents moisture, chemicals, and oxygen from reaching the metal surface.
Key Characteristics of FBE Epoxy
FBE epoxy coatings are preferred across industries due to several critical properties:
- Strong adhesion to steel surfaces
- Excellent corrosion and chemical resistance
- High resistance to cathodic disbondment
- Good mechanical strength and impact resistance
- Long service life with minimal maintenance
These characteristics make FBE epoxy a trusted choice for both underground and above-ground applications.
FBE Powder is the raw coating material used in the fusion bonding process. It consists of epoxy resin, curing agents, pigments, and performance additives. When the steel surface is heated to the required temperature, the FBE powder is electrostatically sprayed, allowing it to fuse uniformly and cure into a solid protective film.
The quality of FBE powder plays a major role in coating performance. At Heatman Products, our FBE powders are formulated to deliver consistent coating thickness, smooth finish, and superior protective properties.
FBE powder coatings create an impermeable barrier that protects steel from corrosion caused by water, soil, chemicals, and environmental exposure.
FBE coatings perform effectively across a wide temperature range and resist degradation from chemicals, making them ideal for oil, gas, and chemical pipelines.
FBE powder coatings are solvent-free, producing minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Overspray can often be recycled, reducing material waste.
The coating resists abrasion, impact, and handling damage, ensuring durability during transportation, installation, and operation.
FBE epoxy is extensively used for internal and external pipeline coatings, offering protection against corrosion, pressure, and chemical exposure.
For drinking water pipelines and fittings, FBE coatings provide safe, hygienic, and corrosion-resistant protection.
FBE-coated rebars are widely used in bridges, highways, and marine structures to prevent rust and extend structural life.
Valves, elbows, flanges, and fittings coated with FBE powder ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
- Surface Preparation – Steel surfaces are cleaned using abrasive blasting to remove rust, oil, and contaminants.
- Preheating – The metal is heated to the specified temperature to ensure proper fusion of the powder.
- Powder Application – FBE powder is electrostatically sprayed onto the hot surface.
- Curing – The powder melts, flows, and chemically cures to form a strong bonded coating.
- Inspection and Testing – Coating thickness, adhesion, and continuity are checked for quality assurance.
