UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS is dedicated to providing robust protective solutions for industrial components exposed to extreme conditions. This case study details the successful application of a high-temperature ceramic coating on pipe fittings using our UPS 225 HT HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC.
Pipe fittings within an industrial system were identified as vulnerable to corrosion and wear due to water exposure at high temperatures. Without adequate protection, the integrity of these fittings could be compromised, leading to potential failures and costly repairs.
The primary challenge was to apply a protective coating that could withstand both the high temperatures and the corrosive environment inside the pipes. The coating needed to be durable and effective, providing long-term protection to prevent future degradation.
UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS provided a targeted solution using UPS 225 HT. The process involved the following steps:
Surface Preparation
- The steel substrate of the pipe fittings was abrasive blast cleaned to achieve a surface cleanliness level of SA 2.5 with a 75-micron profile, in accordance with ISO8501/4 Standard (SSPC SP10/NACE 2). This step ensured that the coating would adhere effectively to the surface.
Application of UPS 225 HT HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC
- All weld joints on the fittings were first stripe coated for additional protection. Then, the entire surface of the pipe fittings was coated with two layers of UPS 225 HT. The coating was applied by brush at a thickness of 500 microns per coat, providing a robust protective barrier against both high temperatures and water exposure.
The application of UPS 225 HT successfully protected the pipe fittings from potential corrosion and wear. The coating provided a durable, long-lasting solution, ensuring the fittings would remain reliable and operational under challenging conditions.
This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS' high-temperature ceramic coatings in protecting critical components within industrial systems. Our advanced materials and precise application process provided a reliable solution that extended the service life of the pipe fittings and prevented future failures.
