Side Extruded Coating System

INTRODUCTION

Side Extruded Coating System is using the process of heating and melting to coat high density polyethylene smoothly and tightly onto the specific steel pipes to be protected.  The extruded coating  is able to protect pipeline against impact, friction, shock, chemicals and ensuring strong enough coating during construction. The equipments of the coating system include external surface preparation and side extruded 2-layer (Adhesive/PE) or 3-layer (FBE/Adhesive/PE) coating
