Pipeclad™ 2060 Moisture-Resistant Overcoat
Advanced Moisture and Damage Resistance for Pipelines
An Advanced Moisture-Resistant Overcoat for Pipelines
Moisture-resistant overcoat (MRO) coating systems provide strong moisture resistance, strong damage tolerance and high flexibility to preserve the integrity of pipelines. These systems combine the barrier attributes of historic high operating temperature (HOT) systems with advanced abrasion resistant overcoat (ARO) technology.
Sherwin-Williams Pipeclad® 2060 Moisture-Resistant Overcoat (MRO) is an innovative approach to minimizing costs through exceptional protection. This MRO is applied over the traditional fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) coating and provides superior damage resistance during handling, storage, backfilling, and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) applications while improving moisture barrier properties for onshore and offshore applications.
Pipeclad 2060 MRO offers:
- Combines enhanced barrier properties with the performance of HOT and abrasion-resistant overcoat (ARO) technology
- Applied directly over FBE with the same equipment used in ARO application
- Designed for higher service temperatures and tested at 302°F (150°C)
- Protects against corrosive elements and damage caused by handling, transportation, installation, backfill and HDD
- Surpasses abrasion and damage resistance of traditional ARO coatings
- Substantially reduces the need for polymeric wraps during backfill installation

Features & Benefits
Pipeclad 2060 MRO Abrasion-Resistant Overcoat (ARO) is designed to be applied over Pipeclad fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings on the exterior of pipes. This dual layer powder system is an extremely robust protective coating that provides superior protection against moisture and corrosive elements in the environment, while also providing abrasion resistance equal to typical ARO coatings.
Application Time Savings
- Applied directly over FBE with the same equipment used in ARO application
- Applied at single-layer FBE application speeds
- Substantially reduces the need for polymeric wraps during backfill installation
Cost Effectiveness
- Maintains coating integrity while pipes are stored or waiting for installation
- Reduces cost of field joints when compared to three-layer polyolefin
- Decreases installation and backfilling costs by eliminating polymeric protective wraps
Tested and Certified Protection
- Designed for higher service temperatures and tested at 302°F (150°C)
Extended Life of Assets
- Maintains the integrity of the entire pipeline system when field joints are coated with the same dual-powder system
- Protects against steam jacking through an improved moisture barrier in high operating temperature (HOT) systems
- Increases long-term protection when comparing an MRO coating versus a single FBE layer with similar thickness
- Surpasses abrasion and damage resistance of traditional ARO coatings
Recommended Uses
Pipeclad 2060 MRO provides optimum protection for the corrosion protection layer against both moisture uptake, as well as damage throughout storage, transit, construction, and service of the pipeline, including during horizontal directional drilling. This coating is designed for service temperatures up to 302°F/150°C dependent upon the base layer of corrosion protection which is applied. Typical uses for Pipeclad 2060 MRO include:
- Pipelines
- Field joint systems
