- 1. Polyolefinic Materials for Steel Pipe Coating SystemPipe
Coating Solution+ 3-Layer Anti-corrosion Pipe Coating SystemEver
since SK had started development of polyolefinic adhesive and
top-coat resins for 3-layer anti-corrosion pipe coatings in 1989,
we brought the first products into the market under the name
ofPOLYGLUE (adhesive) and its already well published name of
YUCLAIR in 1993.Together with FBE coating and 2-layer polyethylene
coating system, 3-layer coating practice hasnow become industry
standard in the most demanding on- and off-shore pipeline projects.
Incontrast to the single layer fusion bonded epoxy powder coating
system, each component layers of3-layer coating system devote to
multi-lateral protection of the pipe, i.e., epoxy layer adheres
tosteel pipe surface acting as the main anti-corrosion
countermeasures, and then tie layer firmlyattach outer polyethylene
top-coat to the inner epoxy layer. Top-coat endows remaining
mechanicaland functional protection to the whole system.The key
factors to the reliable serviceability of the 3-layer coating
system are the strong bonding ofadhesive layer to both epoxy and
top-coat layers over the full service temperature range (up to 80
)and the ability of top-coat material to withstand various
environmental stresses during the life of thecoated pipe, i.e.
storage, transportation and installation not to mention, its
operation stage.SKs POLYGLUEand YUCLAIR for pipe coating
application have proved themselves to beeffective solution during
the last decade for many international applicators and/or
projectors asshown by our experience in this field. Requirements of
Each Component Materials for 3-layer Anti-corrosion Pipe
CoatingSystemEpoxy primer layer should,- form a continuous film of
strong bonding to the steel surface by interacting with its oxides-
provide reaction sites to the adhesive layer for chemical bondage.-
endow high chemical resistance and resistance to cathodic disbond
flexibility allowing cold bending under the field conditionAdhesive
tie layer should provide powerful bond between inner epoxy primer
layer and outer PEtop-coat layer by its anhydride functional group
grafted onto its polyethylene back boneTop coat layer should,-
provide high mechanical, chemical resistance and anti-corrosive
properties- allow long term UV stability and thermal stability
