Advanced Repair Composites and Coatings for the Steel Industry

UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS (UPS) provides advanced composites, coatings, and linings specifically developed to meet the rigorous needs of the steel industry. Our products are designed to shield crucial equipment, such as rolling mills and blast furnaces, from the harsh effects of abrasion, erosion, corrosion, and chemical attacks.

Our repair materials are engineered for durability, offering long-lasting protection even in the most demanding environments. UPS’s solutions are applied in situ, making them ideal for reducing downtime and labour costs while boosting plant efficiency and ensuring adherence to environmental standards.

Protection for Fluid and Gas Handling Equipment

To combat erosion and corrosion in fluid and gas handling systems, UPS’s Metal Repair Systems offer robust solutions. Cold-applied metal bonding, using products like UPS 105 EG THISTLEBOND METAL REPAIR PASTE and UPS 125 XFP FAST CURING METAL PASTE is an effective method for repairing damaged pipework.

For situations requiring Composite Wrapping Technology, UPS COMPOSITE WRAPPING is the solution of choice, providing restored strength and exceptional corrosion protection. Emergency leaks in water or gas lines are swiftly addressed by our fast-curing systems like UPS THISTLEBOND EMERGENCY PIPE REPAIR BANDAGE, minimising costly disruptions.

Our solvent-free materials are also well-suited for use in maintaining multi-stage pumps, heat exchangers, condensers, and gas scrubbers.

Repair of Solids Handling Equipment

UPS offers effective materials for the repair of conveyor belts damaged by impact and abrasion. Products like UPS 360 RRP RUBBER REPAIR PASTE restore the belts to their original shape, providing enhanced protection against wear and eliminating the need for vulcanization.

For equipment such as screw conveyors, chutes, and hoppers, UPS EXTREME WEAR RESISTANT composites provides an abrasion-resistant solution that significantly reduces wear and erosion.

Storage Tank and Secondary Containment Solutions

UPS offers tailored solutions for the repair and protection of storage tanks and secondary containment areas. With fast-curing products like UPS 125 XFP FAST CURING METAL, hot work is eliminated, reducing health and safety risks. Our solvent-free coatings, such as UPS 778 AWC-TB ACRYLIC WATERPROOF COATING – TANK BASE, seal tank bases effectively, preventing water ingress and ensuring long-term durability.

Concrete floors and walls within secondary containment areas can be repaired and protected using UPS’s CONCRETE REPAIR & SCREED SYSTEMS, including UPS 805 ECPR EPOXY CONCRETE PATCH REPAIR and UPS 813 EQS EPOXY QUARTZ SCREED Additionally, our epoxy coatings, such as UPS 814 CRS CHEMICALLY RESISTANT SCREED, provide long-lasting chemical resistance against a variety of substances, even under high-temperature conditions.
