Dual-layer Fusion Bonded Epoxy – (ARO)

Abrasion Resistant Overcoat

EXTERNAL COATING AND INTERNAL LINING

fbe - FBE – Fusion Bonded Epoxy

V.I.P. Verniciatura Industriale Pesarese srl is one of the few companies able to offer Dual-layer Fusion Bonded Epoxy (ARO – Abrasion Resistant Overcoat) coating on special pieces as well as on pipes.
The dual-layer provides mechanical-damage resistance from gouging or impact during handling and construction.
The best epoxy resin powder applied on pre‐heated surfaces.
Thermosetting coating designed for the anticorrosive protection of articles destined to immersion or buried services in oil and gas sector and in the protection of the water pipeline.
The coating can be applied in a single (FBE – Fusion Bonded Epoxy), double or triple layer and the method used guarantees that the coating can be applied with differentiated thickness as required by the specification.

  • Approved by Saudi Aramco

  • Approved for Drinking Water

Main advantages:
– Excellent adhesion to the metal substrate.
– High resistance to cathode detachment.
– Anti slip
– Ultraviolet (UV) resistant
– Excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical properties, especially during construction.
– Resistant to bending even when the film is very thick.

Long-lasting corrosion protection

The FBE primer offers an excellent adhesion to the substrate and provides a long-term corrosion protection for pipelines operating at moderate temperatures.
It also ensures the resistance to the cathodic disbondment so the total cost of cathodic protection of the pipeline decreases.

FBE Lining of valves is suitable for drinking water
