  • 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.
