BITUMINOUS COATING
Bitumen Enamel
Bitumen Enamel is a specially modified bitumen produced by oxidizing a specific grade of bitumen to achieve exceptional bonding and corrosion resistance properties. This Bitumen Enamel Coating is primarily designed to protect steel pipes used in oil and gas transportation, offering outstanding corrosion resistance. Applied in two layers—an inner and outer coat—after a synthetic primer, Bitumen Enamel Coating enhances the longevity and durability of pipes, effectively preventing corrosion over time.
Cutback RC 250
Rapid Curing 250 RC250 a combination of penetration grade asphalt cement and a diluent or cutter highly rapid in its volatility making it easier to apply.
Cutback MC 800
Rapid Curing 800 MC800 a combination of penetration grade asphalt cement and a diluent or cutter highly rapid in its volatility making it easier to apply.
PROPERTIES
- Excellent Adhesion: Bitumen Enamel exhibits excellent adhesion, ensuring the durability of pipelines and tanks. It performs best on surfaces free from oil, dust, and moisture.
- Environmentally Friendly: Compared to coal tar enamel, Bitumen Enamel Pipe Coating is an eco-friendly option, as it does not increase air acidity.
- Waterproof: Bitumen Enamel is impermeable to water or moisture, providing exceptional waterproofing capabilities.
- Anti-Corrosion: Its superior waterproofing properties protect pipelines from moisture and offer excellent anti-corrosion performance.
APPLICATIONS OF BITUMEN ENAMEL PIPE COATING
Bitumen Enamel is widely used for coating pipes to shield them from corrosion and contaminants such as oil, moisture, and dust. It is ideal for both onshore and offshore pipelines, casing pipes, and road bores.
