Underground Gas Pipe Coating FAQs

  • Denso Protal 7200 is a proven liquid epoxy pipeline coating that has been specified across the oil and gas industry for several decades. The system has been used on major pipeline projects, including large-diameter transmission lines such as the Keystone Pipeline. Protal 7200 is commonly specified by pipeline materials, corrosion, and integrity engineers due to its strong adhesion, robust physical properties, and predictable cure characteristics. These attributes make it well-suited for applications such as girth welds, tie-ins, bore joints, and coating repairs.

  • Yes, if an operator-approved topcoat is applied, specifically one with long-term UV protection. Denso’s website recommends using the recommended Archco 65 for UV protection and chalking prevention.

  • Yes. Custom Coatings International has the capability to apply internal pipeline coating systems in accordance with project-specific specifications. CCI is experienced in the internal application of coatings such as Denso Protal 7200, ICAT-CEL-375, and Carboline SP-2888 RG and SP-3888 FC, as well as other underground gas pipeline coating systems when specified.
