Heat Exchanger Protection

UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS offers an exceptional selection of distinctive metal repair composites and epoxy protective coatings designed for the restoration, reconstruction, and safeguarding of heat exchangers afflicted by erosion and corrosion challenges.

Comprehensive Heat Exchanger Protection

Utilizing UPS's solvent-free epoxy repair technology proves effective in the rehabilitation and protection of crucial components within heat exchangers. These components encompass end covers, tube sheets, flange faces, water boxes, and division bars, all of which can be shielded against both chemical assaults and galvanic corrosion.

The solvent-free and cold-curing nature of UPS epoxy composites renders them ideal for swift, on-site applications that minimize downtime while ensuring prolonged defence against erosion and corrosion.

Prevention of Galvanic Corrosion

Given the prevalent issue of galvanic corrosion in heat exchangers arising from the use of dissimilar metals in their construction, UPS composites stand out as exceptional electrical insulators. This quality, in turn, prevents galvanic corrosion, establishing UPS composites as a unique and ultimate solution for the protection of heat exchangers.

Why opt for UPS composites in safeguarding Heat Exchangers?

Unparalleled Long-Term Defence: UPS composites deliver exceptional, long-term protection against erosion and corrosion, especially in combating galvanic corrosion.

High-Temperature Resistance: Particularly when employing UPS 225 HT HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC as the protective top coat.

Cold Curing Technology: No requirement for hot work – UPS Polymer Composites are cold curing, efficient, and ultimately extend the lifespan of equipment.

Specialised Products for Heat Exchanger Protection – Addressing Erosion & Corrosion

UPS 105 EG THISTLEBOND METAL REPAIR PASTE serves as a versatile repair composite for exchangers, primarily applied to end covers, tube sheets, flange faces, and water boxes. This two-part, solvent-free epoxy is highly machinable once cured.

UPS 200 EG CERAMIC REPAIR PASTE is suitable for areas exposed to high levels of erosion and corrosion due to its ceramic-reinforced epoxy base.

UPS 115 XL EXTENDED LIFE METAL is ideal for situations requiring an extended working life and performs exceptionally well in hotter climates.

A Unique Choice

UPS 205 FG FLUID GRADE CERAMIC is the preferred topcoat for the majority of applications, offering wide operating temperature range and outstanding resistance to erosion and corrosion.

UPS 225 HT HIGH TEMPERATURE CERAMIC: A superior option for higher temperature environments.

UPS 226 HAC HIGH ACID CERAMIC: Developed for environments with higher temperatures combined with aggressive chemicals.

UPS 210 CR EFFICIENCY FLUID CERAMIC strikes the perfect balance between ceramic and silicone carbide, making it ideal for situations where increased fluid efficiency within the heat exchanger is required. It also boasts excellent erosion and corrosion protection characteristics and good temperature resistance.

UPS offers a diverse range of specialized coatings that encompass chemical, high-temperature, erosion, and cavitation resistance, or a combination of these properties. This ensures that UPS provides solutions for virtually all service conditions.
