Premium Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating is an advanced and high-quality coating used on ductile iron fittings to provide protection against corrosion. In recent times, ductile iron is becoming the go-to material for most water supply and wastewater pipelines due to its strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. However, ductile iron fittings are susceptible to corrosion which results in degradation and eventual failure of the material.

To remedy this problem, Premium Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating is applied to the ductile iron fittings. The coating is done through electrostatic fusion bonding, which ensures that the coating is evenly distributed across the surface of the fittings. The heated fittings release positively charged particles which attract negatively charged epoxy particles, creating a bond between the two.
The coating provides strong protection against corrosion caused by chemicals, soil, and water. This makes it ideal for use in harsh environments where the fittings are exposed to various elements that can cause corrosion. The coating has also been extensively tested to ensure that it meets the highest quality standards. The standard tests include salt spray, impact resistance, and adhesion strength tests.
Premium Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating is environmentally friendly and does not contain any solvents or volatile organic compounds. This makes it a safe coating to use on ductile iron fittings without causing any harm to the environment or those handling it.
Apart from its corrosion protection capabilities, the coating also enhances the durability and lifespan of the ductile iron fittings. The coating provides a smooth surface that reduces friction and wear, resulting in less maintenance and replacement costs over time. This makes it an ideal solution for water supply and wastewater pipelines.
In conclusion, Premium Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating is an essential element in ensuring that ductile iron fittings are protected against corrosion and other elements that can damage the material. The coating's high quality, durability, and environmentally friendly nature make it a preferred solution for water supply and wastewater pipelines.
