Description
Our Ceramic Wear-Resistant Epoxies are premium, two-part, trowelable, polymer systems containing high loads of graded 92% ≤ alumina particles that interlayers to form a seamless interlocking bed of alumina ceramic; submerged in a rapid curing, highly chemical-resistant epoxy Novalac Resin System to provide optimal wear-resistant linings and refurbishments to process equipment subjected to a high degree of abrasion and chemical attack combined with impact strength. In addition, this unique range of products utilizes Silane Technology to maximise the bond between the graded alumina particals and the epoxy resin, preventing the graded alumina from simply washing out as the epoxy resin wears down. Cheaper and inferior products on the market normally do not utilize this technology due to the high cost. We do not believe in compromising the performance of our products in order to cut back on costs, our focus is always to achieve optimal performance.
Silane Technology Illustrations
Description
This illustration indicates how the alumina particles are kept in position, chemically as well as mechanically, within the polymer epoxy system. Chemically, by utilizing Silane Technology to chemically bond the alumina particles to the epoxy resin and mechanically by means of crowding and interlayering the alumina particles closely to one another.
Description
This illustration indicates how cheaper and inferior products on the market only make use of crowding and interlayering to mechanically hold their alumina particles in position. In this case the alumina particles will simply washout as the epoxy resin wears down.

Advantages of our Ceramic Wear-Resistant Epoxies
- It minimises downtime as most repairs can be done on-site with a rapid cure rate, less than 60 minutes.
- Our epoxies utilize Silane Technology to maximise the chemical bond between the graded alumina particles and the epoxy resin, preventing the alumina particles from simply washing out as the epoxy resin wears down.
- Refurbishments can extend the life of costly plant equipment dramatically.
- It provides a seamless lining, without any joints.
- It is solvent free, allowing the product to be applied safely inside confine spaces without the use of respirators etc.
- It can be applied to vertical and overhead surfaces and other areas in which compound shapes or difficult access make the application of other wear-resistant products impractical.
- Eliminates production losses caused by dislodged rubber linings choking up pipelines.
- It is able to withstand a higher degree of impact, above other more brittle wear-resistant lings, like solid ceramic tiles.
- It has excellent adhesion to metal, rubber and other substrates under adverse conditions, including damp surfaces.
- It is user-friendly, relatively easy and quickly to mix and apply and smooth-able with a lightly wet latex glove.
- It is much more environmentally friendly to remove from an item than rubber-lined products.
IT IS SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST A QUICK FIX PRODUCT!
Common Areas of Application
Our Ceramic Wear-resistant Epoxies are specifically developed to protect and refurbish process equipment against erosion caused by abrasion from waterborne slurries or pneumatic conveying. Common areas of application include:
Basically, any process item subjected to high degree of abrasion.
Product Selection
Our range of Ceramic Wear-resistant Epoxies consists out of three grades of products, ensuring that we are able to fulfil any requirement in this regard. The following diagram will help you choose the right product for your specific application:
Cure Rate*
There are numerous of factors that will influence the final curing rate of the different products which includes but is not limited to following: the ambient temperature; the amount of moisture (water) added during application; the thickness of the application and the time the product spent in the bucket before application started. Therefore, although every care has been taken to supply accurate information, above figures can only serve as a calculated estimation.
Mixing**
We recommend making use of a mechanical stirrer ensuring that the Ceramic Wear-Resistant Epoxies are homogeneously mixed before application commence. It will furthermore dramatically improve your productivity compared to mixing by hand. A Bosch Professional GRW 18-2E 1800W with 0-450/1050min-1 or similar is recommended.
