Weartech
Chemical wear-resistant compound ChemPROTECT
Often in the field of equipment protection against wear, seemingly insoluble problems arise. The chemically resistant compound ChemPROTECT by Weartech (based on practical experience) is guaranteed to last at least 180 days in environments where special 10 mm thick stainless steel would last no more than 7 days. The ChemPROTECT chemical-resistant compound is resistant to all acids and compounds with an acidic hydrolysis reaction, as well as to all organic compounds, except those with an alkaline hydrolysis reaction.

Description
Often in the field of equipment protection against wear, seemingly insoluble problems arise.
Let's model a "nightmare" operational scenario: incredible chemical load ("aqua regia" concentrated nitric + hydrochloric acid), thermal shocks (rapid temperature decrease or increase), intense wear (flow speed 10-25 m/s), peak short-term temperatures up to 1000 ˚C, and 100% humidity.
In these conditions, special 10 mm thick stainless steel would completely wear out in 7 days.
The chemically resistant compound ChemPROTECT by Weartech (based on practical experience) is guaranteed to last at least 180 days.
The ChemPROTECT chemical-resistant compound can be manufactured in several modifications:
- As an adhesive chemically resistant mixture with a granulometric composition up to 1 mm.
- As a standalone chemically resistant coating with high hardness.
