UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS (UPS) offers a comprehensive range of epoxy and polyurethane-based composites and coatings, specifically designed for the repair and protection of plant and equipment across various industries. Renowned for their quality and performance, UPS’s materials are trusted in sectors such as marine, mining, power, manufacturing, and oil and gas.
Our cold-curing products are ideal for rebuilding, repairing, and sealing equipment damaged by erosion, corrosion, or exposure to harsh chemicals. These solutions not only extend the life of equipment but also minimize downtime, reduce costly replacements, and eliminate the risks associated with hot work repairs.
UPS provides simple composite repair methods, such as plate bonding and composite pipe wrap techniques, to address thin-wall and through-wall defects. Using metal repair materials like UPS 105 EG THISTLEBOND METAL REPAIR PASTE these solutions restore the integrity of damaged pipework. For more extensive repairs, UPS COMPOSITE WRAPPING is effective at reinforcing weakened or holed metallic surfaces, withstanding service temperatures up to 150°C (302°F).
Shaft wear and damage can result from inadequate lubrication, bearing failure, or misalignment. UPS cold-applied METAL REPAIR & REBUILDING compounds enable in-situ shaft repairs with minimal downtime. High-strength, non-shrinking materials are used to accurately locate and restore bearings to their original specifications, eliminating issues like misalignment.
UPS’s cold-applied, paste-grade metal repair composites are ideal for rebuilding areas of pumps and valves that have been damaged by corrosion, erosion, chemical exposure, or wear. Our polymeric coatings, such as UPS 210 CR EFFIENCY FLUID CERAMIC, provide a protective layer that prevents further deterioration, enhances pump efficiency, and reduces the frequency and cost of maintenance.
UPS offers erosion and corrosion-resistant materials to repair and restore engines and casings, ensuring a quick return to service for critical equipment. Metal repair composites like UPS 105 EG THISTLEBOND METAL REPAIR PASTE are perfect for in-situ repairs, reducing maintenance costs and downtime compared to traditional methods like welding.
For contaminated repair surfaces, UPS 120 XFF FAST CURING METAL FLUID, a surface-tolerant, cold-curing repair composite, is ideal for fast and emergency applications. It can be applied directly onto oily, wet, or even underwater surfaces, making it a versatile solution for in-situ repairs.
Conveyor belts can be easily repaired with UPS cold-curing RUBBER REPAIR materials, eliminating the need for vulcanization. Our elastomeric solutions restore worn or ripped areas to their original profile, providing superior protection against wear, impact, and abrasion. These versatile elastomers are also suitable for repairing rubber components such as rollers, flights, cleats, and clip joints on conveyor systems.
UPS simplifies the maintenance of storage tanks using a variety of repair composites and protective coatings. Tank bases are sealed with 'breathable' solvent-free coatings that prevent water ingress while allowing moisture to escape. Both internal and external tank walls are protected against erosion, corrosion, and chemical attack with our epoxy coatings.
Additionally, our high-strength epoxy concrete repair materials restore secondary containment areas quickly, offering excellent chemical resistance, impact resistance, and compressive strength.
