A High Performance, Damage Tolerant Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating D.G. Enos, J.A. Kehr, C.R. Guilbert 3M Company Corrosion Protection Products Dept. 3M Austin Technical Center 6801 River Place Blvd. Austin, TX 78726 USA Abstract A novel technique has been developed which significantly improves the damage tolerance of epoxy coated components in a variety of corrosive environments. Characterization of these coatings via an array of AC and DC electrochemical techniques has revealed considerable improvements in the overall corrosion performance as a result of this technology. The quality of the protective coating is thereby maintained, despite minor damage, which may occur on the job site. Furthermore, this improved corrosion performance enhances cathodic disbondment (CD) performance while the impact resistance and flexibility of the fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) coating are unaffected. Introduction Corrosion is a global problem, consuming three to four percent of gross national product in the developed countries of the world.[1] Selecting economical and effective techniques for minimizing the effects of corrosion is a critical design decision for pipeline systems. Corrosion protection is essential to prevent leaks, environmental disasters, fire and explosion, personal injury, service disruption and costly maintenance. Thus, in addition to effectively dictating the lifetime of the pipeline, the corrosion prevention system also significantly influences the pipelines operational costs such as general maintenance, pumping energy, and capacity upgrades. Although these protective measures are critical, they represent only a small fraction of the overall long-term cost of a pipeline system. Today, higher operating temperatures and a host of hostile environmental conditions that pipeline materials encounter during installation and use require a new generation of coatings [2] to protect both the interior and exterior of the pipe.
