DuPont Technical Information Sheet

Product Number: 7-2514LGEN

Application:
Pipe Coating
Introduction:

Nap-Gard Product No. 7-2514LGEN is a thermosetting epoxy powder designed as a coating for underground and subsea pipeline service. In buried
service, the coating is capable of withstanding continuous operating temperatures of 103C (217F). It is designed to offer superior performance to
conventional epoxy coatings. In particular, it offers improved resistance to cathodic disbondment. It has been certified to meet the requirements of CSA
Z245.20-10 and NACE RP-0394-02.

GENERAL APPLICATION PARAMETERS

Grit blast to NACE Near-White specifications (Swedish Standard #Sa 2)

Preheat pipe to recommended temperature (see below).

Apply Nap-Gard 7-2514LGEN powder to meet customer thickness specifications.

Follow recommended cure schedule (see below).

Electrically inspect for holidays and repair with Nap-Gard 7-1861 or Nap-Gard 7-1631S.
Cure should be verified by DSC or other methods.

**Caution** Please note that if girth welds are being coated it is necessary to carefully follow the instructions per DuPonts "NAP-GARD FIELD GIRTH
WELD APPLICATION PROCEDURE".

CURE SCHEDULE GUIDELINES

The cure schedule for Nap-Gard Product No. 7-2514LGEN shows the minimum time at temperature required to achieve the typical performance
properties of the coating. Because pipe cooling rates vary so widely with pipe wall thickness, no allowance has been made for heat loss from the pipe
but this can be easily measured on the coating line and allowance made.
Recommended powder application temperature range is 232C (450F) to 246C (475F) and post heating is not a normal requirement.
The
minimum post application curing temperature (as measured on the coated pipe), and the time to quench may conform to the following cure schedule:

Application temperature

Minimum Time to Quench**

232C (450F)
246C (475F)

180 Seconds
120 Seconds

**CAUTION** Recommended time to quench is based on the assumption that the listed temperature is maintained without any cool down rate. Time to quench will vary with
application parameters and pipe sizes. Therefore, the above information shall be used only as a guideline by the applicator to develop proper time to quench. Cure
should be verified by DSC or other methods. For three layer, the optimum time for adhesive application is between 30-70% cure of the FBE. This has to be
developed by the applicator based on the plant layout.
