DAMEI Fire Protection Pipe Powder Coating is a specialized modified epoxy formulation engineered specifically for fire sprinkler pipes and fire protection system components. Unlike standard powder coatings, our formula is designed to coat both internal and external pipe surfaces, providing comprehensive corrosion protection for critical life-safety systems.
Fire sprinkler pipes face unique challenges: they may sit idle for years filled with stagnant water, creating highly corrosive conditions. Standard coatings fail prematurely, leading to rust contamination, pipe leaks, and system failures. DAMEI's modified epoxy powder coating delivers exceptional performance:
With proven performance in thousands of fire protection installations across high-rise buildings, hospitals, schools, and industrial facilities, DAMEI has become the trusted coating partner for major fire sprinkler pipe manufacturers.

Note: All specifications are based on DAMEI's actual product catalog data for fire protection pipe powder coating.
Wet Pipe Systems:
- Pipes constantly filled with pressurized water
- Most common in heated buildings
- Coating protects from internal water corrosion
- External coating provides identification and protection
Dry Pipe Systems:
- Pipes filled with pressurized air/nitrogen
- Used in unheated spaces (parking garages, warehouses)
- Internal coating prevents flash rust from condensation
- External coating protects from ambient moisture
Pre-Action Systems:
- Pipes empty until fire detection activates
- Used in data centers, museums, libraries
- Internal coating prevents dry corrosion
- External coating provides comprehensive protection
Deluge Systems:
- Open sprinkler heads, pipes normally dry
- Used in high-hazard areas (chemical storage, aircraft hangars)
- Coating protects during both dry and wet conditions
Problem: Standard external-only coatings leave internal pipe surfaces vulnerable. Over years, internal rust scale builds up, reducing flow capacity, contaminating sprinkler heads, and potentially causing system failure.
DAMEI Solution: Our modified epoxy formula can coat both internal and external surfaces. Internal coating prevents rust formation, maintaining full pipe flow capacity and preventing contamination for 20+ years of service.
Problem: Fire sprinkler pipes may sit filled with stagnant water for decades. Standard coatings blister and fail under continuous water immersion, especially in oxygen-rich water.
DAMEI Solution: Advanced modified epoxy with anticorrosive pigments provides exceptional water immersion resistance. No blistering after 240+ hours water immersion testing. Proven performance in real-world installations with 10-20 years of service.
Problem: Fire codes require red-colored pipes for immediate identification. Standard red powders fade quickly under UV exposure or high humidity, losing their identification function.
DAMEI Solution: UV-resistant red pigments maintain bright, easily identifiable color even after years of exposure. Meets fire marshal inspection requirements throughout the system's life.
Problem: Some fire systems tie into domestic water supply. Standard coatings may leach harmful substances into potable water.
DAMEI Solution: Special drinking water grade formulation available. Meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 requirements for potable water contact. Safe for dual-purpose fire/domestic water systems.

A: External coating protects the pipe from ambient moisture, humidity, and mechanical damage while providing fire code color identification. Internal coating protects from corrosive water, prevents rust scale buildup, and maintains flow capacity. Our modified epoxy formula can do both - external coating via electrostatic spray, internal coating via fluidized bed or internal spray gun.
A: Powder coating offers superior performance: (1) Thicker protection - Single coat 60-80μm vs multiple thin paint coats, (2) Better corrosion resistance - No pinholes or weak spots, (3) Faster application - One coat, fast cure, immediate handling, (4) Environmental - Zero VOC, no hazardous waste, (5) Durability - 20+ year service life vs 5-10 years for paint, (6) Lower long-term cost - No repainting needed.
A: Yes, but galvanized pipes require special surface preparation. The zinc coating must be properly treated with a galvanized metal pretreatment or zinc phosphate to ensure good powder adhesion. Many fire protection contractors prefer non-galvanized pipes with high-quality powder coating as this often provides better long-term corrosion protection at lower cost.
A: Yes, we use premium UV-resistant pigments specifically selected for long-term color retention. Our fire protection red maintains its bright, easily identifiable color even after 10+ years of indoor exposure or 5+ years of outdoor exposure. This is critical for fire marshal inspections and emergency response visibility.
A: Fire protection red (RAL 3000) is a stock color with a minimum order of only 200 kg (8 boxes of 25 kg each). This allows fire sprinkler pipe manufacturers and contractors to order economical quantities without large inventory requirements. Custom red shades require 200 kg minimum.
A: Yes, our modified epoxy powder coating provides excellent protection for underground fire main piping. Key factors: (1) Proper surface preparation - Abrasive blasting and zinc phosphate treatment, (2) Adequate film thickness - 80-120μm for underground service, (3) Complete coverage - No holidays or thin spots, (4) Soil conditions - May require additional cathodic protection in extremely corrosive soil.
A: Yes, we offer a special potable water grade formulation that meets drinking water safety requirements. This is essential for combined fire/domestic water systems or fire systems that tie into potable water supply. Our drinking water grade powder complies with NSF/ANSI Standard 61 and does not leach harmful substances. Please specify "potable water grade" when ordering.
A: Internal coating requires specialized equipment and technique: (1) Method selection - Fluidized bed (best), electrostatic internal gun, or preheated pipe dipping, (2) Surface preparation - Critical - internal surface must be completely clean and phosphated, (3) Film thickness - 60-80μm minimum, measure with internal probe, (4) Cure verification - Visual inspection of pipe ends, cut test samples for adhesion. We provide detailed application guidelines and can recommend equipment suppliers.
A: Main failure causes: (1) Poor surface preparation - Oil residue or inadequate phosphating (80% of failures), (2) Incomplete cure - Under-temperature or short cure time, (3) Contaminated water - Extremely acidic or high-chloride water may require special formulation, (4) Mechanical damage - Improper handling during installation. Prevention: Follow our application guidelines strictly and use proper installation techniques.
A: Yes, we provide complete documentation package: (1) Certificate of Analysis with all test data, (2) Technical Data Sheet with full specifications, (3) MSDS/SDS for safety information, (4) GB/T Test Reports - hardness, adhesion, corrosion, etc., (5) Material composition declaration, (6) RoHS compliance certificate, (7) ISO 9001 certificate. All documentation is suitable for fire marshal inspections and building permits.

2. Set reciprocator for full pipe length coverage
3. Spray parameters: 70-90 KV, 0.3-0.5 MPa air
4. Target 60-80μm film thickness
5. Cure immediately after coating
6. Quality inspection: thickness, adhesion, appearance
Manual Spray (Small Batch):
1. Properly ground pipe (verify grounding continuity)
2. Spray gun: 70-90 KV, 15-20 cm distance
3. Use overlapping passes for uniform coverage
4. Pay special attention to pipe ends and threads
5. Measure film thickness on multiple locations
