Long Term Corrosion Protection
The FBE component of the 3LPE system provides excellent adhesion to steel, thereby providing superior long term corrosion resistance and protection of pipelines operating at moderate temperatures. The superior adhesion properties of the FBE also results in excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment which reduces the total cost of cathodic protection during the operation of the pipeline.

Very Good Mechanical Protection
The tough outer layer of polyethylene 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 polyethylene 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
Bredero Shaw has a network of 27 coating plants strategically located across 6 continents to minimize pipe transportation costs. The 3LPE System 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, ultimately providing more cost effective management of pipe coating needs.
