    • Abstract:
      Steel pipe piles used by MaineDOT for bridge construction are typically coated with a fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE). FBE is a powder-based coating with properties similar to traditional

      epoxies. Its name is derived from the process by which it adheres to a substrate. When the

      hardener and epoxy react through heating, the coating takes a solid form as the chemicals are

      cross-linked and bonded to the substrate (ThomasNet.com).

      One of the major problems with the FBE coating is that once cured it is brittle and tends to chip

      easily from handling during shipping, stockpiling, and the driving process. Recoating and repair

      of the FBE finish in the field can take up to two hours to complete.

      Line-X® coating is a tough, yet resilient polyurea-based coating system that has demonstrated its

      resistance to chipping and de-bonding in its history as a spray-on lining for pickup truck beds.

      Line-X® Franchise Development Company of Huntsville, AL is a manufacturer and franchisor

      of their patented spray applied protective coatings systems used primarily for truck bed lining.

      Line-X® coating is a two-step process using their FCP primer and XS-350 top coat which is a

      100% polyurea elastomer coating.
