In India’s fast-evolving industrial and infrastructure landscape, durability and corrosion resistance are vital to long-term performance. Among protective technologies, epoxy coating has become a game-changer — delivering unmatched protection, longer service life, and improved flow efficiency across sectors like construction, oil & gas, water, and utilities.
Why Epoxy Coating Matters
Epoxy coatings form a tough, adhesive barrier on steel surfaces, protecting them from rust, moisture, chemical attack, and abrasion. This results in reduced maintenance costs, extended lifespan, and superior reliability — especially in harsh or high-moisture environments.
Two Types of Epoxy Coating
1. Powder Epoxy Coating
Powder epoxy coating involves applying dry epoxy powder electrostatically and curing it under heat.
Key Benefits:
- Provides a uniform, durable finish with excellent adhesion.
- Ideal for external surfaces exposed to soil, water, or mechanical impact.
- Highly resistant to UV rays and corrosion, making it suitable for buried and submerged applications.
2. Liquid Epoxy Coating
Liquid epoxy is a two-component system (resin + hardener) applied by spraying, brushing, or dipping.
Key Benefits:
- Excellent for internal linings, especially where smooth flow and chemical resistance are critical.
- Can be customized for specific temperature, humidity, and pressure conditions.
- Provides flexibility and ease of application on irregular or large-diameter pipes.
Both coating types enhance the performance, longevity, and sustainability of steel pipes — ensuring strong resistance to wear, corrosion, and fluid contamination.
Steel Pipes Suitable for Epoxy Coating
| Pipe Type | Applicability & Purpose |
| MS (Mild Steel) Pipes | Commonly coated; prevents rust, moisture, and chemical damage in construction and infrastructure. |
| GI (Galvanized Iron) Pipes | Adds extra corrosion resistance beyond zinc coating — ideal for marine or industrial settings. |
| Seamless Steel Pipes | Used in oil, gas, and hydraulic systems — epoxy coating enhances internal flow and corrosion protection. |
| Stainless Steel Pipes | Optional coating for added insulation and chemical resistance in harsh atmospheres. |
| Carbon Steel Pipes | Excellent for buried or submerged applications — prevents external corrosion. |
| LHS / RHS Sections | Used in architectural frameworks — coating improves UV and weather resistance. |
| Large Diameter Pipes | Essential for water transmission and drainage — coating prevents soil-side corrosion and abrasion. |
Why Industries Choose Epoxy-Coated Steel Pipes
- Superior Corrosion Protection
- Enhanced Flow Efficiency
- Reduced Maintenance Costs
- Extended Pipe Lifespan
- Custom Coating Options (Powder & Liquid)
- Eco-friendly & Sustainable
