Description
Powercrete® R-65/F1 is a solvent free epoxy coating with an extreme fast curing time for handling efficiency in pipemills and workshops, has user friendly application characteristics and rapid backfill properties. Powercrete® R-65/F1 provides excellent long term corrosion protection to abrasive blasted steel and FBE coated pipes. This high-build epoxy coating system can easily achieve a dry film thickness (DFT) up to 40mils (1000micron) in one multi-pass layer. Powercrete® R-65/F1 Repair Cartridges and Spray Cartridges are available to make this the ideal coating for girth welds, Touch-up and rehabilitation projects. Used for coating system for new construction and rehabilitation of pipes, pipe bends, fittings, valves, girth welds/field joints, buried tanks and other steel structures in need of protection.
