Coating Specification
•Coating type: Polyamide cured epoxy
•Core constraints:
•Surface to be coated must be clean and dry (Nace 2, near white metal finish)
•Line must be clear of sediment
•Pot life (6 hours <25 degrees Celcius)
•Pipeline required to be dry with relative humidity 10o C below ambient relative humidity

Coating Process Coating Sample Plates

 Average coating dry film thickness 200 microns
 Coating applied by specially modified compressed
air driven polyurethane scrapers
 Coating applied in three to five coats
 Line depressurized slowly to manage solvent levels
 Duration between coats - maximum 16-24 hours
 Coating air dried between coats
