ASPHALT ENAMEL
PIPE COATING ENAMAL (PCE)
ASPHALT ENAMEL
Description
Asphalt Enamel or Pipe Coating Enamel (PCE) is bitumen based hot applied costing material used for protection of iron, steel materials and pipes. As per requirements of international steel and iron pipe coatings. It is blended with inert plasticizer in very fine grade. Uniformly mixed with selected oxidized bitumen and chemicals. It is proved to be the best anti-corrosive product for steel pipes used in gas, crude petroleum products distribution system, chemicals and many others pipelines including water etc.
Uses
It is extensively used against corrosive environment, including buried underground pipelines all over the world to provide maximum protection against weathering and is practically good for small or large diameter pipelines. If applied correctly it is also very strong against mechanically high load factors. It also protects the pipes from damage against sharp edge and pointed rocks during laying & digging of trenches. Asphalt Enamel is considered excellent for protection of catholically arranged pipelines. There will be no dislocation of wrapped coating and son peeling takes place. It has a strong bondage with pipes if applied with suitable primer and will provide long lasting protection to catholic rectifiers and anodes.
