Long-Lasting, Easy to Apply Room Temperature Cure Coating
That Increases Equipment Life
DANVERS, Mass., Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ITW
Performance Polymers has launched its next generation wear
resistance compound, Devcon Wear Guard 300RTC designed to protect
equipment in elevated temperature wet and dry environments. This
superior room temperature cure coating is highly resistant to
chemical attacks in high solid, wet environments up to 300⁰F /
149⁰C seen in cement plants, power plants, petrochemical plants,
mining and pulp and paper mills.
"Our end-users continue to require products that last longer,
apply easier, and withstand harsh conditions. Our team has
developed this next generation erosion-resistant,
corrosion-resistant compound to meet these challenging
applications," said Guil Silva,
VP/GM, ITW Performance Polymers. This unique formulation enables
customers to achieve superior equipment protection without the
difficulties of expensive post baking seen with other brands. This
allows customers to easily apply the product and quickly resume
operations, resulting in increased equipment uptime.
Devcon Wear Guard 300RTC has gone through extensive testing and
evaluation to ensure an exceptional customer experience affording
impressive resistance to wear in dry and wet corrosive conditions
up to 300⁰F / 149⁰C. Field trials have proven high product
durability allowing customers to run their equipment longer before
reapplying products or applying thinner coats resulting in higher
product throughput. This flexibility allows customers to minimize
equipment failures reducing maintenance costs.
As a room temperature cure product, Devcon Wear Guard 300RTC
allows the product to be applied onsite reducing costly
transportation and remote Post Cure expenses required with other
systems. Eliminating the need of an oven baked post cure saves
time, money and energy, while increasing equipment uptime.
"The unique properties of Devcon Wear Guard 300RTC give
customers a durable, protective wear-resistant
compound, that will outlast the competition and keep their
equipment running even in harsh conditions," added Guil Silva.
Devcon Wear Guard 300RTC wearing compound can be used in a
number of applications including flotation tanks, scrubbers, ash
handling systems, pipe elbows, screens, chutes, bins, hoppers,
exhausters, housing fans, launderers, crushers and breakers.
