Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE)

Chemical pretreatment for steel pipe ahead of fusion bonded epoxy coating.

Effective surface preparation is critical to the performance and long-term adhesion of fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings. Crest Industrial Chemicals offers chemical pretreatment technology specifically formulated for the pipe coating industry.

Acid Cleaner 10B is a phosphoric acid-based pretreatment designed to condition steel pipe surfaces prior to FBE application. The process assists in the removal of surface chlorides and other surface contaminants while providing a chemically conditioned substrate to promote improved adhesion of the subsequent epoxy coating.
