HBE-OS

High Build Epoxy coating for

Offshore Corrosion Protection

The Canusa HBE-OS is the only liquid coating of its kind serving the
offshore marketplace. It is a two-component epoxy coating system
specifically formulated to withstand immediate force-curing at high
build thicknesses, and achieve superior mechanical performance
and corrosion resistance. The HBE-OS coating design allows for the
fastest offshore cycle-times and protects operating pipelines up to
120°C (248°F). This environmentally friendly, 100% solids, novolac
epoxy system can either be spray applied or brush applied to the
intended bare steel substrate.
Applications

Reduced Installation Temperatures Oil & Gas

• HBE-OS requires significantly lower application temperatures (110°C)
vs FBE (250°C) resulting in reduced installation times.
Offshore Pipelines
State-of-the-Art Formulation
• The high build coating is designed to be force cured at 110°C (230°F)
after application to achieve 60-90 second cure times and perfect Girth-Weld Joints
porosity ratings.
Exceeds FBE Performance Requirements
• HBE-OS exceeds FBE performance as specified in USA, British and
High Temperature
Canadian test standards.
High Temperature Corrosion Protection
• HBE-OS coating system was designed to protect operating pipelines
up to 120°C (248°F).
High Build in Single Coat
• A single pass application direct-to-metal will
achieve a high build coating thickness of
20-40 mils (500-1000 microns).
Offshore Uses
• Mainline pipelines, rehabilitation projects, girth weld
field joints, damage and holiday repair to FBE, pipe-
line valves, fittings and bends.
