Jack Daniel Assistant Street Superintendant Manhatten Beach California
Rising maintenance costs due to the corrosion of metal parts in the sewerage system
led the superintendant of public works in Manhatten Beach California to investigate a new type of
protective coating. The results have been highly satisfactory. The process known as Fusecoating
consists of the application of 100% solid epoxy powdered resin to form a continuous film that is
resistant to corrosion or deterioration under extreme conditions.
This process is ideally suited to the protection of manhole steps and some of the
component parts of pump stations that are exposed to raw sewage and corrosive gases. The coatings
were applied by Fusecote Company Inc.., using electrostatic spray technique. In this operation the
metal parts were sandblasted to bare white metal and the finely ground epoxy resin deposited on the
surface by means of a specially developed spray gun that places an electrostatic charge on the
powder particles.
The electrostatically charged particles of powder will cling to the surface of the
part to be protected. The coating is then fused to the substrate by heating the part to 400 degrees
F. The required mill thickness is achieved in a single Fusion Bonded Coating. The cost of
the Fusion Bonded powder coating is equal toor less than that of a first class liquid paint
system.
