Substrate Internals of small diameter pipe.
Products Chemco International – InD-Cote Top coat using RP 500 AR
Environment – Abrasive Coke Breeze temperatures up to 60C.
Challenge – Existing pipe lasts 4 weeks in service before a hole appears and valves an estimated 18 months service.
Chemco’s Solution – A new addition to the Chemco International range, illustrating further coating advancements based on research and development, we now have InD-Cote; a Ceramic Bead Filled High Temperature epoxy, designed to provide protection to aggressive sliding abrasion applications, reinforced with a wrap of woven BasfiberWrap® and top coated with RP 500 AR.
Scope- Machine rebate on flanges. Abrasive blast to AS 1627.4 as per Chemco requirements. Application of InD-Cote and top coat using RP 500AR.
Application of BasfiberWrap® using RP 500 AR Series Machine coated rebates
Results Based on the success of previous applications with a combination of Abrasion Resistant composite systems using BasfiberWrap® in abrasive environments a solution was sought after using the Chemco range of products and expertise.
After regularly replacing these sections of pipe on a monthly basis the plant maintenance team are very happy with 9 months of service and still going.
