Fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE)
FBE provides a thermoset epoxy barrier on prepared steel. It is widely used as a standalone external layer or as the primer layer in multi-layer systems.
Design considerations
- Surface profile and cleanliness per SSPC/NACE or ISO equivalents
- Cure window and intercoat handling for dual-layer FBE
- Field girth weld FJC systems purchased to match the line pipe coating
Baike references 3PE and FBE among offered corrosion systems - final DFP from the coating applicator governs.
