Coating
We offer an array of options for coating pipe bends. We supply holiday-free polyethylene (YJ and UB) coated pipe bends as well as several types of post-bend spray-on coating, both external and internal. Compass Bending also provides tape wrap, shrink sleeves and polyurethane foam insulation. Insulated bends can be provided with tape, shrink sleeves or hardshell (spray-on polyurea) as the outside layer. We can supply coating materials and patch kits to ship to site for repairs and for covering field joints.

| Notes: |
| Prior to coating, pipe bends are prepared with sand blasting to SSPC-SP6 or SSPC-SP10 depending on coating requirements. |
| Appropriate primers are applied as required (e.g. prior to tape wrap). |
| All coated bends (including YJ pipe) are patched if necessary and holiday tested before shipping. |
| YJ1 and UBRA coated bends are patched with K60 shrink sleeves. YJ2K and UB IIISE coated bends are patched with GTS-80 shrink sleeves. We also have available Stopaq wrapping products for patching when required. |
| We can supply coating materials and epoxy patch kits for site repairs and field joints. We keep these materials in stock. |
| We keep the coating manufacturers’ spec sheets on file as well as installation guides, general information and MSDS sheets. Call us for copies. |
| All coatings applied by us come with quality assurance inspection reports. |
