Shawcor - Model 3LPE -3-Layer Polyethylene Coating

Long Term Corrosion Protection

• The FBE component provides excellent adhesion to steel, providing superior long-term corrosion resistance and protection of pipelines operating at moderate temperatures.
• If required, Low Application Temperature(LAT) FBE can be selected as the primer to ensure low preheating conditions and long term integrity of high strength steels (X80 or higher)
• In addition, 3LPE systems offer excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment, reducing lifecycle costs of cathodic protection

Engineered Solutions

• Advanced Manufacturing techniques allow for a customized 3LPE system to your specific project.

Very Good Mechanical Protection

• The tough outer PE layer protects pipelines during transportation and installation thereby reducing costly repairs while also providing added in-ground protection against shear forces, chemicals and abrasive soil conditions
• By increasing the thickness of the PE outer layer, the 3LPE system can provide a high level of mechanical protection across a variety of difficult environments without requiring the use of costly backfill

Global Availability

• Can be manufactured at a single plant or in multiple coating plants to improve project logistics
• Through Shawcor`s global footprint of high capacity plants clients benefit from single point of contact project management, even in the most demanding logistical configurations
