High Performance Composite Coating (HPCC) is an advanced composite system that represents the latest development in anti-corrosion systems. The product consists of fusion bonded epoxy, polyolefin adhesive and tough polyethylene. HPCC is designed to protect buried oil and gas pipelines in environments where superior mechanical protection, moisture and corrosion resistance and moderate to high operating performance characteristics are required.

Long Term Corrosion Protection

• The FBE component of HPCC provides excellent adhesion to steel, providing superior long term corrosion resistance and protection of pipelines operating up to 85°C.
• The superior adhesion properties of the FBE also provide excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment, reducing the cost of cathodic protection during the operation of the pipeline.

Fused Monolithic Coating System

• The unique application process of HPCC provides a fused, monolithic profile that prevents delamination and loss of adhesion.
• The system demonstrates excellent field handling and flexibility characteristics, minimizing construction installation costs.

Very Good Mechanical Protection

• HPCC provides excellent uniform coverage of the weld bead profile, preventing “tenting” and weaknesses in the coating cross-section.
• Polyethylene component protects the pipeline during transportation, reducing costly repairs while also providing added in-ground protection against shear forces, chemicals and abrasive soil conditions.

Flexible Solutions

• Advanced manufacturing techniques allow the HPCC System to be customized to your specific project.
• Can be applied to various pipe diameters from 400 mm (16”) to over 1066 mm (42”).
• Can be applied in a wide range of thicknesses to cost effectively meet unique project specifications and performance requirements.
