IPC Fusion Bonded Epoxy, known as IPC System 8, is a powder coating that turns to liquid when applied to pre-heated parts.
Once cured, an extremely tough uniform protective layer is created. This protective layer provides resistance to harsh environments such as wastewater, corrosive soil, hydrocarbons, harsh chemicals, and seawater.
Fusion Bonded Epoxy: IPC System 8
IPC System 8 represents a cost-effective internal coating technology solution for the oil, gas, and water industries. The cost of the coating is only a small fraction of the cost of parts and components. Yet, the coating is the major means of assuring extended operation by preventing deterioration and service disruption due to corrosion loss.
IPC System 8 is a versatile solution suited for coating parts where heavy build-up is required. Its longer gel time allows for the coating of larger surface areas and parts with complex recesses without runs, sags, or delamination. Its resistance to wastewater, corrosive soils, hydrocarbons, harsh chemicals, and seawater makes it extremely appealing for projects that operate in harsh conditions.
