FUSION BONDED EPOXY LINING

Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC)

F.B.E. Lining on IMI ORTON’s valves for Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC)

V.I.P. Pesaro is one of the few companies able to offer the best quality on pipes as well as on custom pieces.

Thanks to almost thirty-years experience we constantly develop new products introducing new technologies to obtain impeccable results.
The Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) is a Saudi Government Corporation responsible for the desalination of seawater producing electric power and supplying various regions in the Kingdom with desalinated water.

Long lasting Corrosion protection

V.I.P. srl uses Resicoat® R4, a high quality thermosetting epoxy powder coating for the corrosion protection of valves and fittings, manufactured from cast iron or steel. The outstanding adhesion of Resicoat R4® epoxy powders to the metal substrate provides long term protection of the coated component. It ensures a reliable conservation to the function and value of the parts for the common water and gas distribution network.

Mechanical resistance and electrical insulation

Thanks to the film thickness, achieved is in the range of 250 – 500 μm, thermoset epoxy has a high mechanical resistance with excellent electrical insulation properties.

Environmental friendly

Drinking water approvals are available to confirm the coatings suitability, as a hygienic and environmental friendly coating. The applicator of Resicoat® R4 benefits from a modern and environmentally friendly process.

UV protection

It is possible to overcoat Resicoat® R4 with polyester powder and liquid coatings to achieve an UV protection.

  • Small and large pipes
  • Standard fittings
  • Wide radius bends
  • Special fittings
  • Valves
  • Filters
  • Pumps
  • Tanks
  • Air valves
  • Several waterworks system components

  • Pre-cleaning: We make sure that the surface is free of oil, grease, salt, and other impurities.
  • Blasting: Moulding sand, rust and sharp edges are removed with angular steel grit. 
  • Pre-heating: This form of heating produces a uniform, defined temperature in the component.
  • Coating application: Immediately after preheating, the coating process starts without loosing any object temperature. The coating is done in the shortest possible time in a single pass with no interruption.
  • Coating cure: Curing is achieved by the heat contained in the object.

Relates standards and specifications

    • AWWA C550
    • DIN EN 14901
    • ISO 12944-2, table 1 
    • Resicoat® R4-ES HJF01R meets the high atmospheric corrosivity category C4 (typically in industrial areas and coastal areas with moderate salinity) and the very high atmospheric- corrosivity -categories C5-I (industrial) and C5-M (marine) if applied as a holiday-free coating at a film thickness of >400 μm. A sufficient film thickness is highly required to ensure good edge coverage. For gloss and color stability a UV- resistant polyester topcoat can be applied.
    • Approvals: drinking water, GSK, gas, biogas

OUR SATISFIED CLIENTS

VIP Verniciatura Industriale Pesarese has applied FBE lining on Orton Valves.

Currently not all valves are in operation, but as of today we not have encountered any technical problems on FBE lining on testing activities at Orton’s plant.
