Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coating Flanges 516 GR 70

Indeed, Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coating on 516 GR 70 steel flanges has several benefits, but there are also a few disadvantages that have to be considered:

1. Limited temperature range:
   It is important to note that FBE coatings are limited by the temperature range they can withstand. The coating may degrade at high temperatures, which could compromise its effectiveness.
2. Limited chemical resistance:
   Despite FBE coating being highly corrosion-resistant, it may not be suitable for use in environments with highly aggressive chemicals, even if it is corrosion-resistant. As a result, a more specialized coating may be required in such cases.
3. Surface preparation:
   The surface preparation largely determines the success of FBE coatings before the coating is applied. The coating may only adhere properly if the surface of the flange is prepared properly, which could compromise the effectiveness of the coating if it is not prepared properly.
4. Application Issues:
   It is important to apply FBE coating carefully to ensure that the thickness and coverage are uniform. The coating may only provide adequate protection if applied correctly and may even result in defects such as bubbles or pinholes if not applied properly.
5. Potential health hazards:
   The FBE coatings are generally considered safe, even though there is a risk of exposure to harmful substances during the application process, even though these coatings are generally considered safe. We can take safety measures to protect workers and the environment.
