Introduction: Component-Level Protection for Shield TBMs

Shield tunneling machines comprise hundreds of components, each with specific exposure conditions and protection requirements. Generic coatings cannot address this diversity effectively. FLD’s epoxy anti-corrosion paint for shield tunneling machine components provides a family of matched coatings engineered for each component type.

Core Benefits

Component-Specific Protection

From high-wear cutter tools to sensitive hydraulic cylinders, each component receives coating optimized for its service conditions.

System Compatibility

All coatings in the family are compatible, preventing inter-coating failures at component interfaces.

Proven Performance

Each coating has been tested and proven in actual tunneling operations, not just laboratory conditions.

Simplified Maintenance

Matched coating family simplifies touch-up and repair, with consistent procedures across components.

Key Features

High-Performance Epoxy Chemistry

Epoxy resins provide superior adhesion, chemical resistance, and durability compared to conventional paints.

Range of Formulations
