FBE coatings are thermoset polymer coatings. They come under the category of 'protective coatings' in paints and coating nomenclature. The name 'fusion-bond epoxy' is due to resin cross-linking and the application method, which is different from a conventional paint. The resin and hardener components in the dry powder FBE stock remain unreacted at normal storage conditions. At typical coating application temperatures, usually in the range of 180 to 250 °C (356 to 482 °F), the contents of the powder melt and transform to a liquid form. The liquid FBE film wets and flows onto the steel surface on which it is applied,...
