| PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION |
| Bredero Shaw is the world’s leading provider of
Three Layer Polyethylene Systems (3LPE). Bredero
Shaw’s 3LPE System is a multilayer coating composed
of three functional components. This anti-corrosion
system consists of a high performance fusion
bonded epoxy (FBE) followed by a copolymer
adhesive and an outer layer of polyethylene
which provides tough, durable protection.
3LPE Systems provide excellent pipeline protection
for small and large diameter pipelines with moderate
to high operating temperatures. |
| FEATURES
AND BENEFITS |
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.
- Excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment
which reduces the total cost of cathodic protection
during the operation of the pipeline.
Engineered Solutions
- Advanced manufacturing techniques allow the 3LPE
System to be customized to your specific project.
- Can be applied to pipe diameters from 51 mm (2”)
to over 1220 mm (48”).
- Can be applied in a wide range of thicknesses to
cost effectively meet unique project specifications
and performance requirements.
Very Good Mechanical Protection
- The tough outer layer of PE 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 many diverse
environments without requiring the use of costly
select backfill.
Global Availability
- Can be manufactured in a single plant or in multiple
coating plants to improve project logistics.
- High capacity within the Bredero Shaw plant
network allows the client to benefit from single
source advantages, providing more cost effective
management of pipe coating needs.
