3LPP Pipe

Three Layer Polypropylene Coating

3LPP System is a multilayer coating composed of three functional components. This anti-corrosion system consists of a high performance fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) followed by a copolymer adhesive and an outer layer of polypropylene which provides the toughest, most durable pipe coating solution available. 3LPP Systems provide excellent pipeline protection for small and large diameter pipelines with high operating temperatures.

Features & Benefits

High Temperature Corrosion Protection

The FBE component of the 3LPP System provides excellent adhesion to steel, providing superior long term corrosion resistance and protection of pipelines operating at high temperatures.

The superior adhesion properties of the FBE also results in excellent resistance to cathodic disbondment, reducing the total cost of cathodic protection during the operation of the pipeline.

Engineered Solutions

• Advanced manufacturing techniques allow the 3LPP System to be customized to your specific project.
• Can be applied to various pipe diameters from 90 mm (3.5”) to over 1220 mm (48”).
• Can be applied in a wide range of thicknesses to cost effectively meet unique project specifications and performance requirements.

Excellent Mechanical Protection

• The tough outer layer of polypropylene protects pipelines during transportation and installation thereby reducing costly repairs and providing added in-ground protection against shear forces, chemicals and abrasive soil conditions.
• By increasing the thickness of the polypropylene outer layer, 3LPP can provide the highest level of mechanical protection across many diverse environments without requiring the use of costly select backfill.
