High Build Epoxy Coating for High Flex Applications
HBE-FLX
Specifically formulated for high flex applications.
Two-component liquid epoxy coating system.
Environmentally friendly.
High Flexibility.
HBE-FLX is a two-component liquid epoxy coating system which offers 360° equivalent performance to single-layer fusion bond epoxy (FBE) coatings – matching flexibility criteria down to 0°C (32°F).
HBE-FLX has been specifically formulated for high flex applications and is rated for pipeline operating temperatures up to 95°C (302°F). HBE-FLX is used for protection of linepipe, field joint girth welds, valves and fittings, as a holiday repair material or for rehabilitation projects. The coating is also well suited for directional drilling, thrust boring, rocky terrain, tank linings and other high flex applications. This environmentally friendly, 100% solids, epoxy system can either be spray applied or brush applied to the intended substrate.
High Flexibility
HBE-FLX can attain flexibility properties of >3.0˚ppd at 23˚C (73˚F) and >2.0˚ppd at 0˚C (32˚F) without the use of urethane (isocyanate) chemistry.
Matches FBE Linepipe Requirements
HBE-FLX is compliant to CSA Z245.20-14 and ISO 21809-2:2014 testrequirements from 95˚C (302°F) down to 0˚C (32˚F).
Protection up to 95°C
HBE-FLX coating system was designed to protect operating pipelines up to 95°C (302°F).
Directional Drill Compatibility
High flexibility, tensile elongation, impact, gouge and abrasion resistance are all coating properties that are maximized for directional drilling suitability.
High Build in Single Coat
A single pass application direct-to-metal will achieve a high buildcoating thickness of 20-40 mils (500-1000 microns).
