Similar color, similar design, similar ability to resist oxidation and corrosion. What, then, differentiates Daiwa Lance’s Daiwa Color Pipe from the Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe? Check out the article below to learn more.
Let’s begin by learning more about these two products.
Daiwa Color Pipe
Daiwa Color Pipe is a galvanized or non-galvanized steel pipe that is carefully coated with polyester resin on both the interior and exterior.
Daiwa Color Pipe stands out with a shiny finish and a hollow cylindrical shape, which can be tailored to a rectangular form to meet specific customer needs.
Commonly, Daiwa Color Pipes are paired: one with a cylindrical design and rounded ends, and the other with an oval-shaped end. This practical design enables quick and secure manual fastening of the two pipes.
Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe
Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe is a galvanized or non-galvanized steel pipe, with polyester resin coated only to its exterior layer.
Depending on customer requirements, Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe can be customized in colors other than white or in different shapes, while retaining its core hollow cylindrical structure.
Similarities between Daiwa Color Pipe and Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe
Manufacturing Method
The similarity between Daiwa Color Pipe and Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe lies primarily in their production method.
Both products utilize the dip coating technique, where steel pipes are immersed in powder. Through a heating process, the polyester resin layer is cured and firmly adhered to the pipe, forming a protective coating that enhances the product’s durability and extends its lifespan.
Appearance
Next, the similarity lies in the appearance of the steel pipes. Both pipes are predominantly white in color and can come in cylindrical, rectangular, or bent shapes, depending on customer requirements.
Coating Layer
The coating structure of Daiwa Color Pipe and Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe is made of high-durability polyester resin, offering excellent strength, impact resistance, water resistance, and ease of processing.
Lifespan
With the meticulous dip coating manufacturing technique and the strong adhesion of the polyester resin layer, the lifespan of Daiwa Color Pipe and Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe can extend up to 20 years in coastal areas or 30 years in rural areas.
Lower Thermal Conductivity
Another shared characteristic of the two steel pipes is their ability to lower thermal conductivity, which helps limit heat transfer to the environment, reducing its impact on surroundings and external factors.
For instance, Daiwa Color Pipe in agricultural greenhouses prevents heat-related effects on crops, while Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe’s reduced heat conductivity makes hot water pipes safer to handle.
Differences between Daiwa Color Pipe and Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe
Due to different usage purposes, Daiwa Color Pipe and Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe, also have significant differences, as outlined below.
Coating Position
First is the position of the coating layer.
As shown in the image, the coating of Daiwa Color Pipe is applied to both the interior and exterior of the steel pipe. This helps protect both the inside and outside of the pipe, making it suitable for environments with high humidity, and it significantly extends the pipe’s lifespan by preventing oxidation.
For Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe, the coating is applied only to the exterior. The primary purpose is to optimize costs and production time, particularly when customers require a steel pipe with a solid protective layer to extend its lifespan without needing internal protection.
Pipe Size
Typically, the OD (outer diameter) of Daiwa Color Pipe is around 19.1mm, 22.2mm, or 25.4mm, with a thickness of 1.2mm and a length of 5.5m. However, for Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe, these dimensions can be larger depending on customer requirements.
Application
Daiwa Color Pipe, with its interior and exterior coating, offers superior protection against rust and oxidation, making it well-suited for use as a construction material in agricultural greenhouses, such as winding shafts.
Meanwhile, Daiwa Powder Coated Pipe, characterized by its exterior coating and cost-optimized design, is more economical and ideal for applications such as carrying liquids or transporting gases in pipeline systems.
