 Coating Process

Standard Coating Process

We follow the IS and ASTM standards for the process of applying a fusion-bonded epoxy
coating to steel bars and it involves four major steps as mentioned below:

1. Surface preparation: Steel Cleaning Process - Airless (Wheel Blast)

Shot Blasting Process.
In this step, the reinforcing steel is cleaned to a near white metal
by using the blast-cleaning method. Shots and Grits are used as an
abrasive material in Shot blaster. The shots help in cleaning the surface
of the bar while grits provide an anchor (40 – 100µm) to the bar surface.

2. Heating: Pre Heating the steel bars at a specific

temperature
The next step is heating the blasted bars to the
required temperature as specified by the Epoxy powder
manufacturer (around 230°C) by passing them through
an electric induction heater.

3. Powder Application: Coating - Fusion Bonded Epoxy

Coating

The heated bars are then passed through an Epoxy

coating booth where the epoxy powder is applied
electrostatically. As the powder leaves the gun, an
electrical charge is imparted to the epoxy powder
particles. These electrically charged particles are
attracted to the grounded steel surface providing uniform
coverage of the coating. When the dry powder touches the hot steel, it melts and ows over the
surface and at the same time quickly gels as a film (200 –300 µm thick) on the reinforcing bars and
on and on its deformations while the residual heat cures the coating.

4. Cooling: Passing through Cooling Tunnel

The coated bars after curing are passed through a cooling
tunnel, where water is sprayed on to the bars to cool them. The
bars are then kicked off on to the final inspection rack for testing
and inspection. The testing on coated bars is carried as per
ASTM775 or IS13620 or as per requirements. The acceptance
tests usually conducted include thickness measurements,
exibility test, and holiday test.
QUALITY CONTROL We at TBF understand the importance of quality of
the services being provided by us for private or public
sector buildings and equipment. The acceptance test
usually conducted include thickness measurement,
Impact Test, Flexibility Test, Cathodic Disbondment Test,
Bond Strength and Holiday Test.
