The disclosure provides example methods and a system that includes: (a) a fluidization bed having a reservoir and comprising a base and a plurality of side walls, (b) an epoxy-based powder disposed within the reservoir, where the fluidization bed is configured to fluidize the epoxy-based powder, (c) a first heating element configured to heat the wire matrix reinforcement to at least a melting temperature, (d) a conveyor positioned over the fluidization bed and configured to engage the wire matrix reinforcement, where the conveyor is configured to submerge the wire matrix reinforcement into the fluidized epoxy-based powder such that a portion of the epoxy-based powder melts and coats the wire matrix reinforcement, and where the conveyor is configured to remove the wire matrix reinforcement from the epoxy-based powder; and (e) a second heating element configured to cure the epoxy-based powder coating the wire matrix reinforcement into a corrosion resistant barrier.
