Abstract

The present invention relates to a metal surface coated with a thermoplastic polymer, the coating exhibiting a peel strength at 130.degree. C. (according to DIN 30 670) which is higher than 400 N/5 cm. This value can be obtained by placing between the metal and the thermoplastic a layer of epoxy resin of Tg higher than 120.degree. C. against the metal and then a layer of polypropylene-based binder. The invention is particularly useful for coating the external surface of pipes.
