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 moderate operating temperatures. |
| FEATURES
AND BENEFITS |
High
Temperature Corrosion Protection
The FBE component of the 3LPP System provides excellent
adhesion to steel, thereby 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 which reduces 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. The system
can be applied to various pipe diameters from 90 mm (3.5”)
to over 1220 mm (48”). 3LPP System can also 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 while also providing added in-ground protection
against shear forces, chemicals and abrasive soil conditions.
By increasing the thickness of the polypropylene outer
layer, the 3LPP System can provide the highest 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 3LPP 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. |
