 FUSION BONDED EPOXY (FBE) COATING

Fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coating is a type of protective coating widely used in the water and wastewater industry to protect steel tanks from corrosion. Here's a detailed explanation of what it is and how it is used for tanks:

What is Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating?

Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Coating:

  • Composition: FBE is a thermoset polymer coating that consists of powdered epoxy resin. It is applied to a preheated substrate, typically steel, where it melts and flows to form a continuous and uniform coating.
  • Application Process: The steel surface is first cleaned, usually by abrasive blasting, to remove any contaminants and create a rough profile for better adhesion. The cleaned surface is then heated to a specific temperature (usually between 180°C and 250°C). The epoxy powder is sprayed onto the heated surface, where it melts, flows, and then cures to form a solid, tough coating.
  • Properties: Once cured, FBE forms a hard, durable, and chemically resistant coating that adheres strongly to the substrate. It provides excellent protection against corrosion, abrasion, and chemical attack.

Uses of Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating for Tanks

Tanks:

  • Corrosion Protection: Steel tanks, especially those used to store water, chemicals, or other corrosive materials, are prone to corrosion. FBE coating acts as a barrier, preventing direct contact between the steel surface and the corrosive environment, thereby extending the lifespan of the tank.
  • Chemical Resistance: FBE coatings are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, making them ideal for tanks storing different types of liquids, including potable water, wastewater, and various chemicals used in industrial processes.
  • Ease of Maintenance: Tanks with FBE coatings are easier to clean and maintain. The smooth, non-porous surface prevents the build-up of sediments and makes it easier to inspect for any damage.
  • Safety and Compliance: For tanks storing potable water, FBE coatings are safe and comply with health and safety standards. They do not leach harmful substances into the water, ensuring that the stored water remains safe for consumption.
  • Temperature Resistance: FBE coatings can withstand a wide range of temperatures, making them suitable for tanks exposed to varying environmental conditions.

Application Areas:

  • Water Storage Tanks: FBE is commonly used for both underground and above-ground water storage tanks.
  • Chemical Storage Tanks: Tanks used in chemical industries often use FBE coatings to protect against aggressive chemicals.
  • Wastewater Treatment Tanks: In wastewater treatment plants, FBE-coated tanks are used to handle and store wastewater, sludge, and other by-products.
  • Industrial Process Tanks: Various industries use FBE-coated tanks in their manufacturing and processing operations to store raw materials, intermediate products, and finished goods.

In summary, fusion bonded epoxy coating is an effective and reliable method for protecting steel tanks from corrosion and chemical attack. Its application ensures the longevity, safety, and durability of tanks used in various industries.
