The development prospect of coated pipeline

Coated pipes play an important role in the fields of energy, infrastructure and industry because of their excellent anti-corrosion, anti-wear and low maintenance costs. With the growth of global demand for sustainable infrastructure and energy solutions, the application and demand of coated pipes in the market are gradually increasing.
Among them, the common coatings are mainly 3PE/PP, single/double layer FBE, coal tar epoxy resin and so on. Among them, 3PE/3PP is the most widely used.

1. Energy transportation
Increased consumption of oil, gas and renewable energy is driving the demand for efficient and durable pipelines. The coated pipe is also suitable for long-distance transportation, which can effectively prevent corrosion and external damage to ensure the safety of transportation.
2. Oil and gas exploration
The exploitation of deep-sea oil fields and other unconventional energy sources requires pipelines suitable for working in high-pressure, highly corrosive environments. The coating pipeline has excellent performance in transporting high pressure and high corrosive media, and is the first choice for laying in the ocean and harsh terrain.
3. Urban infrastructure
Water supply and sewage treatment: The application of coated pipes in water supply and drainage systems is very extensive, and it has the role of preventing leakage, extending life and ensuring water quality.
Community heating systems: Coated pipes are increasingly used in district heating and cooling systems, especially in energy-efficient urban infrastructure projects.
4. Environmental protection 
The use of coated pipes can effectively reduce the leakage of harmful substances, reduce the leakage caused by corrosion damage of pipelines, reduce the risk of pollution, and meet the trend of global ecological protection.
5. Advances in coating technology
The materials used for the coating have been upgraded, and new coating materials such as fused epoxy resins, triple layers of polyethylene coatings, etc., provide greater resistance to corrosion, UV and mechanical damage.
6. Global market expansion
The rapid industrialization and urbanization in the Asia-Pacific region has driven the demand for coated pipelines in infrastructure and industry, and high performance coated pipelines are used extensively in large energy projects in oil-producing countries such as the Middle East.
7. Low maintenance cost
Although the initial cost of high-quality coatings is higher, their service life is longer and maintenance costs are lower.

Sum up

The market prospect of coated pipes is broad, and its technological progress, energy demand growth and global sustainable development trend have jointly promoted its important position in modern industry.
