Brief Background Throughout the last decades, coatings science has incorporated very versatile inorganic materials into organic coating to form the inorganic/organic hybrid coating systems. Combining various organic and inorganic constituents in combination with different preparation and processing methods, very versatile materials can be produced for optical, structural and coatings applications. The hybrid products have combined the properties of the inorganic materials, i.e., hardness, durability, and thermal stability, and organic polymers, i.e., flexibility and toughness.
Fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coated pipelines are extensively used throughout the world for transportation of various types of fluids and gases1. New and unused FBE coated pipes often end up being stockpiled in open yards for various reasons such as delay in start of a project, excess inventory etc. Outdoor exposure for long durations results in the physical and chemical degradation of the coating. This happens due to the interaction of the oxygen and moisture in the air, and the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun which causes photo-oxidative degradation of the polymer in the coating.
Components utilized in oil field operations are often exposed to harsh environments. Corrosion and wear of components and piping can be considered one of the main causes of failure. These components are exposed to high flow rates, high pressures, and other environmental conditions.
Tank lining products are necessary for protection of infrastructure and commodities to ensure daily business operations continue smoothly. They are expected to protect the tank from corrosion and chemical attack while maintaining the purity of the tank’s contents; ultimately keeping people and the environment safe from an accidental discharge. Rigorous laboratory testing programs and field trials are conducted to instill confidence the right product is recommended for each task.
Coatings are integral to a corrosion prevention strategy, especially with a multilayered system and cathodic protection. While these systems have redundancies and are designed with extended lifetimes, it is important to understand how each part of the system performs under stress. There are many coating chemistries out there for corrosion prevention, such as liquid epoxies and polyurethanes, but Fusion Bonded Epoxy systems have many favorable properties for scenarios that require the most cost-effective, resilient solution.
