Missing Photos[edit]

Can anyone replace one or both of the two missing FBE-coated pipe photos in the article? They appear to have been removed in April 2006 by a 'bot due to licensing issues. I'll delete the boxes after a week or so if nothing happens on this. (Our company works with this FBE-coated pipes, but I have no direct involvement with these so it would take a while to get something.)--CheMechanical (talk) 00:45, 3 April 2008 (UTC) ÷ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.162.23.19 (talk) 13:09, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Application section[edit]

It's my understanding that a large part of powder coating outside of the pipeline industry actually gets applied at room temperature and then heated to curing temperature (post-bake). Specifically, I've heard that the automotive industry relies on this method. I'll try to find some good resources and correct the article. Also, I might have some photos for CheMechanical's request. I might even be able to get my hands on some photos of some large coating booths and manual spray equipment. -W0lfie (talk) 13:33, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Holy cow. I totally forgot about this. I was looking at this article thinking, "there should be some pictures." Lo and behold, it's my own damn fault there aren't any up here. Duh! --W0lfie (talk) 15:59, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Application section[edit]

I was surprised to see someone had removed the "heating and application" section in this article without writing any reason in this discussion page. I work with this industry, and I started writing this article. I am sure about the information given in the application section is correct. FBE coatings are not applied on cold surface and then cured. This application is different from other type of powder coating applications - decorative and industrial powder coatings.

Yes, I agree. there are some extremely shortsighted "editors" in Wikipedia who are very inclined to remove things they don't even start to understand. Others believe wikipedia must be short and "concise", and are frequently removing important contents. I also propose the authors include the important concept of Glass Transition temperature in this page.

Typical application temperature ranges has been added in the main article. --Shibu jacob (talk) 12:08, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comparisons to powder coating?[edit]

How does this compare to powder coating, a well-established and rather better known technique? I see this as the most obvious comparison, rather than other paint or epoxy-based processes. Anyone care to expand coverage here. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:48, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is the same; although this article is geared more towards industrial rather than decorative coatings. Nevertheless, the coatings are the same, and the processes very similar. We should look into merging, but I don't know enough about wiki etiquette to do it properly. -W0lfie (talk) 22:54, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
