Product Description

Plastic coated composite steel pipe

Specification: ФDN100-ФDN1800

Standard: "Plastic-coated Composite Steel Pipe for Water Supply" CJ/T120-2016

Plastic-coated composite steel pipe is a new type of pipeline material newly developed in China. It adopts a composite structure of reinforced welded steel pipe or seamless pressure-bearing steel pipe with a plastic protective layer inside and outside, which overcomes the easy rust and corrosion of the steel pipe itself. High pollution, low strength and easy deformation of plastic pipes, it integrates the common advantages of steel pipes and plastic products, and is an environmentally friendly product promoted and used by the country. Plastic-coated composite steel pipe is a layer of polyethylene (PE) resin, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (EAA), epoxy (EP) powder, non-toxic polypropylene (PP) or non-toxic polypropylene (PP) with a thickness of 0.5 to 1.0mm melted on the inner wall of the steel pipe. The steel-plastic composite pipe composed of non-toxic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other organic substances, not only has the advantages of high strength, easy connection, and resistance to water impact of steel pipes, but also overcomes the corrosion, pollution, fouling and fouling of steel pipes when exposed to water. Plastic pipes have disadvantages such as low strength and poor fire-fighting performance, and their design life can reach 50 years. The main disadvantage is that it is not allowed to be bent during installation, and during thermal processing and electric welding cutting, the cutting surface should be brushed with the non-toxic normal temperature curing glue provided by the manufacturer.

Production Process

Plastic coated composite steel pipe is divided into: hot dipping process, internal and external spraying process, rotomolding process, curtain coating process, suction coating process, fusion winding process, etc.

1. Hot dipping adopts: fluidized bed dipping, one-time film forming method. Also known as the first generation of anti-corrosion plastic coated steel pipe, inner and outer polyethylene.

2. Internal and external spraying process: using electrostatic adsorption theory, pre-treatment of steel pipe, spraying polyethylene or epoxy resin powder with spray gun. Also known as the second generation of anti-corrosion plastic coated steel pipe, internal and external epoxy composite steel pipe.

3. Flow coating process: also known as the curtain method, which is coated on the outer wall of the heated steel pipe through a sieve filled with powder by means of flow coating.

This process can produce outer polyethylene inner epoxy composite steel pipe. Also known as the third generation anti-corrosion of plastic coated steel pipe.

4. Fusion winding process: using the hot fusion winding method, the hot melt adhesive and polyethylene are wound on the heated steel pipe in the form of an extruder, and react to form a three-layer structure, the full name is fusion epoxy/extrusion Polyethylene structure protective layer.

This process can produce outer three-layer structure polyethylene inner fusion bonded epoxy composite steel pipe. Also known as the fourth generation anti-corrosion of plastic coated steel pipe.

Steel pipe polypropylene 3PP anti-corrosion

2PP/3PP Anti-corrosion Steel Pipe Specifications: Φ89mm–Φ3200mm Material: Q235B, Q345B, 10# Steel, 20# Steel, Grades X42–X80 Standards: SY/T7041-2016, DIN30678 Advantages of the Anti-corrosion Coating The three-layer polyethylene anti-corrosion coating combines the excellent properties of both epoxy coatings and extruded polyethylene coatings. It integrates the interfacial characteristics and chemical resistance of epoxy coatings with the mechanical protection features of extruded polyethylene coatings, significantly enhancing the performance of each component. Therefore, it serves as an outstanding external protective layer for buried pipelines. According to relevant data, the three-layer PE coating can extend the service life of buried pipelines up to 50 years and is currently recognized internationally as one of the most advanced pipeline external anti-corrosion technologies. In 3PE anti-corrosion systems, the three-layer PE coating has been first applied in oil and gas systems. The Shaanxi-Beijing natural gas pipeline and the Kuerle-Shanshan oil pipeline—both already completed in China—along with the nearly 4,000-kilometer West-to-East Gas Pipeline project, all utilize the three-layer PE external anti-corrosion coating. Additionally, the 67-kilometer high-pressure pipeline from Shaanxi to Tianjin, the 30-kilometer outer ring high-pressure natural gas pipeline, and the 122-kilometer pipeline of the Shaanxi-Beijing underground gas storage facility also employ the three-layer PE coating. As such, the three-layer PE coating has become the leading direction for the future development of external anti-corrosion coatings for pipelines. Applications: The product is widely used in oil pipelines, natural gas pipelines, heating pipelines, and water supply pipelines. Application Scope: Currently, China has not yet established an industry standard for 3PP coatings. Therefore, the 3PP anti-corrosion pipelines produced generally follow the German standard DIN30678 “Polypropylene Coatings for Steel Pipelines.” The 3PP coating is primarily used as an anti-corrosion layer for pipelines transporting media at relatively high temperatures, as well as for pipelines located in desert regions characterized by high surface temperatures and prolonged sunlight exposure. Consequently, it has gained increasingly widespread application on buried water, gas, and oil pipelines in areas with high surface temperatures and long periods of sunlight.

Polyurea anti-corrosion coating for steel pipes

The future development of polyurea-coated anti-corrosion steel pipes: Polyurea coatings represent the international trend in next-generation anti-corrosion technology. Currently, major pipeline companies worldwide have adopted polyurea anti-corrosion coatings—for instance, the oil pipelines in Alaska, USA; the Gulf oil pipeline in Indonesia; the Siberian oil pipeline in Russia; and the water transmission pipelines in Kuwait—all of which use polyurea as their anti-corrosion coating. Superiorities of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Polyurea-coated anti-corrosion steel pipe materials exhibit excellent construction performance when used for pipeline joints. Typically, straight pipe sections are prefabricated in the factory, while joints are connected on-site via spray application. After polyurea treatment, the pipeline maintains outstanding continuity and integrity, ensuring that the entire pipeline system is completely sealed with no seams, thereby guaranteeing its overall anti-corrosion performance and ultra-long service life. Key Features of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Fast curing speed, allowing for seamless application on vertical and curved surfaces without sagging; excellent corrosion resistance, capable of withstanding erosion by most chemical media; superior physical properties, providing strong adhesion to metal substrates; 100% solid content, non-polluting, and environmentally friendly; seamless coating, completely eliminating the risk of leakage points. Main Applications of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Overhead pipelines, directly buried pipelines, oil pipelines, gas pipelines, municipal sewage pipelines, and various types of steel pipelines—both internal and external wall anti-corrosion. Future Development of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Polyurea coatings represent the international trend in next-generation anti-corrosion technology. Currently, major pipeline companies worldwide have adopted polyurea anti-corrosion coatings—for instance, the oil pipelines in Alaska, USA; the Gulf oil pipeline in Indonesia; the Siberian oil pipeline in Russia; and the water transmission pipelines in Kuwait—all of which use polyurea as their anti-corrosion coating. According to international standards, all underground metal pipelines employ a combined protection approach involving an anti-corrosion coating and cathodic protection. Among these, the pipeline anti-corrosion coating serves as the primary barrier. The 3PE anti-corrosion coating, which integrates the advantages of high-density polyethylene wrapping and fusion-bonded epoxy powder, is now widely used. However, its main drawback—the unresolved issue of joint repairs—remains a challenge. The heat-shrink sleeves currently used do not match well with the 3PE coating, significantly reducing the service life of the system.
