Type E Epoxy

Canusa Liquid Epoxy Type E is a force cured, two part epoxy used as the primary layer with Canusa 3-layer systems, such as GTS-PE.

Usage of Canusa’s proven method of force curing enables the installer to “pre-inspect” the joint prior to sleeve application. This provides the assurance that the pipe is fully protected and it will not be displaced and exposed to corrosive contaminates during the aligning and shrinking stages of the sleeve installation.

It is composed of a specially formulated 100% solids epoxy system, which does not use any volatile solvents. This ensures that the thickness of the epoxy layer does not change as it cures.

Coating Continuity
The Liquid Epoxy Type E layer offers equivalent corrosion protection to the FBE primary layer in 3 layer polyethylene and 3 layer polypropylene mainline coated pipelines.

Improved Cathodic Disbondment Resistance
Liquid Epoxy Type E will improve the Cathodic Disbondment resistance results for hotmelt type adhesives when compared against bare steel substrate.

Saves Time
The improved chemical bonding that is achieved from the adhesive to the force cured epoxy layer allows for reduced sleeve installation times due to lower heat requirements.
