Optimizing Pipeline Protection: How Different Abrasives Impact Coating Performance

Surface preparation is a critical factor in ensuring the long-term performance of pipeline coatings, particularly in corrosive environments.

 The type of abrasive material used during surface preparation can significantly influence the adhesion, durability, and overall effectiveness of liquid-applied epoxy coatings. 

This paper presents an in-depth investigation into the performance variations of these coatings when applied to surfaces prepared with different abrasives, including GMA ToughBlast™, steel grit, steel shot, glass grit, and coal slag.
