Three layer polyethylene A A A

3LPE anticorrosive three layer polyethylene coating conforming to DIN 30670:2012

This anticorrosive coating consists of the following layers:

epoxide layer of minimal thickness of 60 μm,
polyethylene copolymer layer of minimal thickness of 140 µm,
polyethylene layer of minimal thickness between 1.8 and 3.2 mm or polypropylene layer of minimal thickness between 1.8 and 2.5 mm.

Izostal S.A. manufactures coated steel pipes of diameter between 21,3 and 1220 mm and length between 8 and 18 linear metres; moreover we provide coating services with reference to pipes delivered by our customers.

Coating process may be divided into the following stages:

grit blasting of the steel pipe surface to Sa 2 1/2 in line with PN-EN ISO 8501-1:2008,
induction heating of the pipe up to 180-200°C,
electrostatic spraying of epoxy powder on preheated pipes,
electrostatic spraying of polyethylene or polypropylene copolymer powder,
ring extrusion of polyethylene or polypropylene sleeve,
coating cooling with water,
machining of the pipe ends,
temporary rustproofing of pipe ends with anticorrosive lacquer.

Typical features of the three layer anticorrosive coatings applied on steel pipes include the following:

high resistance to mechanical damage,
resistance to chemical substances, moisture, breakdown, high temperature and UV radiation,
good adhesion of the coating to steel pipe surface,
anticorrosive protection of underground pipelines for approximately 50 years,
complete protection of steel pipe welds,
easy connection of coated pipes without damaging the coating,
the coating is neutral to the natural environment.
