Coating of carbon fibre epoxy pipe line in sea necessary?
Coating of carbon fibre epoxy pipe line in sea necessary?
(OP)
Is an extra anti-corrosion coating on a carbon fibre filament wound pipe line, used on a sea depth of about
3000 m, required? And if so, what would be a good material?
many thanks in advance
Tom

an informative article on
Composite Fabrication by Filament Winding
can be found at

While it is affirmed that composites present excellent corrosion resistance, it should be noticed that different matrix materials are available. Different resins and additives provide special properties.
Even within the category of Epoxy, recommended for Marine applications, a wide range of resins are available.
For additional information the corrosion resistance properties of the specific product selected should be investigated with the manufacturer.

What were you thinking of coating it with? More resin?
