Description

Two-component, purple liquid, formulated as a high performance, non-corroding, cavitation resistant, ceramic resurfacing compound designed for the coating of worn, damaged, or eroded pumps, pipes, valves, and similar equipment subject to severe erosion / corrosion due to turbulent flow of aggressive fluids. Because of its superior "pinhole-hunting" capabilities, ONE COAT application is usually sufficient. This feature alone sets Advanced Polymer IPN FLUID CERAMIC a breed apart from other coatings that are designed as two-coat systems. Due to its superior super smooth, low friction surface, pumps coated with it show increased flow efficiency.

 

Typical applications

FLUID FLOW SITUATIONS where EROSION, CORROSION, AND CAVITATION WEARS DAMAGES OR ERODES Agitators, Casings, Condensers, Cooling Towers, Gate Valves, Housings, Chutes, Oil Reservoirs, Pintel Housings, Pipe Elbows, Propellers, Pulverizers/Mills, Pumps, Tubesheets, Valve Repair, Water boxes.

To SEAL pinhole leaks left behind by conventional "Hot Welding".

As PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE where fluid-flow equipment is coated before corroding and breakdowns.

For ECONOMY where OEM managers appreciate the importance of high quality and extended service life for NEW PUMPS - VALVES - PIPES.

 

Physical data

EXCELLENT CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: 2-4 TIMES BETTER THAN THE NEXT BEST COMPETITIVE MATERIAL
Will withstand corrosion and chemical attack, therefore minimizing downtime.

EXTREME ABRASION RESISTANCE: 15MG WT. LOSS/1000 CYCLES (5 TIMES BETTER THAN THE NEXT BEST COMPETITIVE PRODUCT)
Virtually indestructible: Turbulent flow by aggressive fluids with suspended solids present is not a problem for IPN FLUID CERAMIC.

DESIGNED FOR TOUGHEST FLUID-FLOW PROBLEMS.
If your fluid flow problems involve cavitation, impingement, implosion and/or turbulence coupled with chemical attack and even elevated temperature, then you can save downtime, money and frustration by coating your equipment with IPN FLUID CERAMIC in your repairs or preventative maintenance.

ADVANCED NON-RUSTING FORMULA FOR PERMANENT REPAIRS.
Gives you "Rust-Free" service and extends the life of your equipment. It means less breakdowns and fewer parts replaced or repaired. It means lasting repairs.

HIGHEST "ROCKWELL HARDNESS" IN THE INDUSTRY: R123, M88 (20% BETTER THAN THE NEXT BEST COMPETITIVE PRODUCT)
This "Man-Made Ceramic Metal" is suitable for ALL metal coatings in fluid-flow Situations. Hardness is hardly a limitation.

EXCELLENT RETENTION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES.Up to 204^oC in DRY operating conditions and 93^oC in WET operating conditions, IPN FLUID CERAMIC will give you continuous operation. That means, you can plan and execute your own repairs even in challenging "Hi-Temp" fluid-flow situations.

PHENOMENAL BOND STRENGTH: 1 TON PER SQUARE INCH. This tremendous adhesion capability far exceeds engineering specifications and enables one to do those fluid-flow repairs without sacrificing design strength or safety.

SMALLEST CURE SHRINKAGE IN THE INDUSTRY: 0.002" / 1".
Even in close tolerance situations, you can rely on IPN FLUID CERAMIC. Although all polymers shrink, IPN scientists were able to "Harness" cure shrinkage. Advanced Polymer knows of competitive materials which shrink a lot more and which are marked "Zero-Shrinkage".
We caution end-users against such misrepresentations. In those repairs where even .001" / 1" cannot be tolerated, we suggest that IPN FLUID CERAMIC be built up thicker than needed and then machined or ground down to exact size.

HIGH MODULUS: 37,000 PSI.
Means high resistance to deformation and will not creep under sustained load. This fact, coupled with high Rockwell Hardness turns "Dream-Repairs" into a reality.

MOST SUITABLE COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION: 32.4X10^-6 cm/cm^oC
Thermal cycling during operation will not cause delaminating of repair because IPN FLUID CERAMIC is carefully formulated to "Move With The Metal". Most metals range from 9-45X10^-6 cm/cm^oC and IPN FLUID CERAMIC is right in that range. Check out the competition to see how good we really are.

HEAT DISTORTION TEMPERATURE UNEQUALLED IN ITS CLASS: 57^oC AT ROOM TEMPERATURE AND 98^oC AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE CURE (4 HOURS @ 100^oC)
IPN's superiority here is simply "overwhelming" when you compare it to the next best competitive product. That means that IPN FLUID CERAMIC will retain its mechanical properties at higher temperatures and for longer periods of time than any other competitive product.

100% SOLIDS.
No solvent-entrapment since it is solvent less to begin with. That means no blisters, bubbles, holidays or pinholes. One coat application will deposit anywhere from 0.4mm / 0.8mm of "Dried-Thickness". This thickness is only achieved by 4-6 coats of solvent-based coatings with long hours of wait between each two consecutive coatings to allow the solvent to escape into the atmosphere. This may not only create health, safety and fire hazards, but also makes the whole proposition extremely expensive by extending downtime into several days.

ONE-COAT APPLICATION.
As opposed to "2 Coat Systems" specified by most competitive companies. Labor / Material / Application costs and downtime are all slashed in half thanks to Advanced Polymer IPN's "Super Technology". This cost saving feature alone sets IPN FLUID CERAMIC a breed apart from the "Rest Of The Pack".

COMPLIES WITH LOW VOC REGULATIONS.
Extremely stringent new "Volatile Organic Compounds" regulations have already made hundreds of coatings "obsolete". Since IPN FLUID CERAMIC contains no solvent, you can safety specify and use in any industrial environment, indoors or outdoors.

FACTORY-PROPORTIONED PACKAGING.
Easy to mix and apply because BASE:SOLDIFIER ratio of 6:1 by volume is kept during packaging of components so that you don't have to weigh or measure anything during repair. Just mix all contents.

EASY TO USE
No need for outside contracting. In-House personnel can easily be trained to use with minimum tools.

SPLITTABLE UNITS
You can mix full or partial units, so you do not waste any material by mixing more than the repair requires.

INJECTABLE.
IPN FLUID CERAMIC can be injected into metal cavities, voids, molds, cracks, and similar discontinuities, via an Advanced Polymer CRACK INJECTION SYSTEM, using bottom-fill cartridges to produce "Bubble Free" build up of thick sections in a void free manner. IPN FLUID CERAMIC will provide solid support for hollow wearing rings and welded metal plates due to its fluidity. Can cope with innovative repairs attempted never before. That is common sense economy with high-tech precision.

INDEFINITE SHELF LIFE.
Means you can use the left-over split unit next month, next year, or next decade. This enables you to stock-up and be prepared for those "Unexpected Downtimes".

EXCELLENT REFERENCE AND SUCCESS STORIES
Thousands of innovative IPN repairs have been recorded. You can learn from this unique know-how and application experience and thus save headaches of "Reinventing The Wheel".
