A new, surface tolerant Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) pipe coating is developed to tolerate a wider steel surface temperature window of 200 – 240 °C. Six Sigma methodology was used for the product development. The performance of this new generation of coating is compared to more conventional coatings. A trial at a pipe coating facility where the performance of the new coating was evaluated with a number of different surface conditions is described.
