Results for tag: "Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coatings"

Within the broader industry of paints and coatings, the market for Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coatings represents a specialized segment focused on high-performance applications. FBE coatings are thermoset polymer coatings, applied in the form of a dry powder, which, when heated, melt and solidify to form a protective layer. They are known for their exceptional adhesion to metals, providing resistance to corrosion for steel pipes, valves, and rebar used in various industries such as oil and gas, construction, and water supply. The process of fusion bonding involves the application of epoxy powder that thermally fuses to the substrate, ensuring a durable bond. This market includes products tailor-made for protecting infrastructure in harsh environments and is driven by the need for long-lasting protection, especially in infrastructure and utility projects. Innovations in the FBE coatings sector often focus on improving application technologies, extending the lifespan of coated components, and compliance with stringent environmental regulations. Notable companies operating within the Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coatings market include 3M, Akzo Nobel N.V., Axalta Coating Systems, BASF SE, and Jotun. These companies have substantial research and development capabilities, which enable them to produce advanced FBE coatings for a range of industrial applications. Additionally, Shawcor Ltd., PPG Industries, Inc., and Hempel Group are recognized for their contributions to the market, offering specialized coatings that cater to specific industry needs and enhancing the efficiency and safety of coated products Show Less Read more
