| PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION |
| Bredero Shaw is the world’s leading provider of Three
Layer Polypropylene Systems (3LPP). Bredero Shaw’s
3LPP 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 polypropylene which
provides the toughest, most durable pipe coating
solution available. 3LPP Systems provide excellent
pipeline protection for small and large diameter
pipelines with high operating temperatures. |
| FEATURES
AND BENEFITS |
High Temperature Corrosion Protection
- The FBE component of the 3LPP System provides
excellent adhesion to steel, providing superior long
term corrosion resistance and protection of pipelines
operating at high temperatures.
- The superior adhesion properties of the FBE also
results in excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment,
reducing the total cost of cathodic protection
during the operation of the pipeline.
Engineered Solutions
- Advanced manufacturing techniques allow the 3LPP
System to be customized to your specific project.
- Can be applied to various pipe diameters from 90
mm (3.5”) to over 1220 mm (48”).
- Can be applied in a wide range of thicknesses to cost
effectively meet unique project specifications and
performance requirements.
Excellent Mechanical Protection
- The tough outer layer of polypropylene protects
pipelines during transportation and installation
thereby reducing costly repairs and providing added
in-ground protection against shear forces, chemicals
and abrasive soil conditions.
- By increasing the thickness of the polypropylene
outer layer, 3LPP can provide the highest level of
mechanical protection across many diverse environments
without requiring the use of costly select
backfill.
Global Availability
- 3LPP 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.
