POWERCRETE-J
Pipeline Girth Weld Coating
By Berry Plastics Corp.

Description

Powercrete is the result of many years of combined research by several major corporations in pipeline protection.

Powercrete-J is a derivative of Powercrete, using the same resins with an alternate hardener. The resultant product makes an outstanding protective coating of bare steel and is also suggested for use on girth welds on pipelines coated with fusion bonded epoxy.

The finished girth weld coating is very hard, abrasive resistant and provides an excellent cathodic disbondment rating on pipelines operating at less than 130^oF (55^oC).

Powercrete-J can be applied at temperatures of 60^oF (15^oC) and above and will cure in less than 4 hours at 90^oF (32^oC).
