Coating systems used in oil and gas pipelines.
| Coating system | Pros | Cons | Representative literature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coal tar enamel coatings | Fair adhesion to different types of steel materials | Risk to human health due to used materials | [88, 89] |
| Plant-applied tape systems | Good adhesion to different types of steel materials | Possibilities of blistering occurring under stress | [90, 91] |
| Polyolefin with butyl adhesive | Environmental friendship with less pollution | Low adhesion strength for steel materials and disbondment caused by cathodic protection | [92, 93] |
| Epoxy (fusion-bonded) | Excellent adhesion to different types of steel materials and good resistance to disbondment caused by cathodic protection | Limited resistance to abrasion | [94, 95] |
| Metallic spray coatings | Low cost for various working environments | Possibility of low adhesion to certain types of steel materials | [96, 97] |
