HBE-HT Brush Grade Epoxy by Canusa-CPS
High-build epoxy coating for buried pipelines, operating up to 120°C (248°F).
HBE-HT is a state-of-the-art surface coating designed to solve specific industry problems by combining the unique features of epoxy and proprietary cure technologies. HBE-HT is a 100% solids, two-component epoxy coating system which has been specifically designed as a protective coating for pipelines operating at elevated temperatures. This coating is available in brush and spray grade formats.
Typical Uses: Protective coating for pipelines in buried or immersed applications. Used as a directto-metal corrosion resistant coating and as a rehab coating on steel pipelines and at girth welds. Also used as touchup material for mainline coatings. Excellent coating for pipeline valves, fittings, and bends.

Application Instructions
- HBE-HT must be applied to clean dry surface only.
- Ambient conditions for successful application include: relative humidity less than 85%; and the substrate temperature greater than 3°C (5°F) above the dew point.
- The acceptable substrate temperature range for application of HBE-HT is 10°C (50°F) to 100°C (212°F). Applying onto warm substrate greater than 38°C (100°F) enhances coating adhesion.
- Formulated to mixing ratio of 3 parts Base to one part Cure by volume.
- If additional coats are required, they shall be applied while the preceding coat is still tacky (no tie coat needed). The maximum over-coating interval shall not exceed two (2) hours at 25°C (77°F) without roughening the surface. If recoating interval has been exceeded, surface must be blast roughened prior to application of topcoat.
- A minimum of four (4) hours curing above 20°C (68°F) is required prior to handling. Handling time maybe longer at lower temperatures.
Brush Grade:
- Apply thoroughly mixed HBE-HT Brush Grade by brush, roller or trowel. When coating pipe, remove application tools on the upstroke to prevent pulling material down and off the pipe bottom.
Spray Grade:
- HBE-HT Spray Grade shall be applied to the specified Dry Film Thickness (DFT) in a single application using a 3:1 mix-ratio Graco Hydra-Cat two-component spray equipment or approved equal.
- Pot-life of mixed components in spray hose is less than 1 minute.
- Detailed application instructions and technical support are available from CANUSA-CPS.
