FAQS on galvanized pipe coating

Q: What is the purpose of galvanized pipe coating?

A: Galvanized pipe coating involves applying a protective zinc layer to steel pipes to prevent rust and corrosion. It extends the pipe's lifespan, especially in harsh environments.

Q: How does epoxy powder coating differ from galvanized pipe coating?

A: Epoxy powder coating is a thermosetting polymer applied electrostatically and cured under heat, offering a smoother, chemical-resistant finish. Galvanized coating uses molten zinc for rust protection.

Q: Can epoxy powder coating be applied over galvanized pipes?

A: Yes, but the galvanized surface must be properly cleaned and roughened first to ensure adhesion. Epoxy adds extra chemical and abrasion resistance.

Q: What are common uses for a 25 ft galvanized pipe with coating?

A: A 25 ft galvanized pipe is often used in construction, fencing, or irrigation systems. Its coating provides durability in outdoor or moisture-prone environments.

Q: How long does galvanized pipe coating last?

A: Galvanized coatings typically last 20-50 years, depending on environmental conditions. Regular inspections help identify wear or corrosion early.
