Coating of heavily used surfaces
Epoxy resin system Weicon WL
Weicon, the manufacturer of adhesives and sealants, has developed a special epoxy resin system for coating surfaces in the industrial sector – Weicon WL.
Surface coating / ceramic-filled
The
two-component Weicon WL system has been developed for coating heavily used
surfaces. It is liquid, sprayable, spreadable and can be applied with a brush.
It has a high adhesive strength, especially on stainless steel, is
ceramic-filled and resistant to chemicals. Owing to its long pot life, Weicon
WL can be used for applications with higher ambient temperatures or for larger
surfaces.
The coating compound can be used in combination with other Plastic Metal types for a system build-up. For example, the 2-component epoxy resin can be used as a primer when lining pump casings made of stainless steel that are subject to heavy stress.
Suitable for many industrial applications
The
surface coating can be used in machine and plant construction, in apparatus
engineering and in many other areas of industry.
Plastic Metal
The term Plastic Metal describes epoxy resin systems, which consist of two components, a resin and a hardener. Depending on the type, the resin component is mixed with steel, aluminium powder or mineral fillers, all of which improve the technical characteristics, such as the compressive strength and thermal conductivity.
The
epoxy resin system is suitable for a broad range of applications in different
industrial areas. Plastic Metal can be used, for example, in industrial
production for bonding, coating, as a casting compound, wear protection and for
quick and long-lasting repairs to various materials.
After
mixing the two components, the plastic metal cures at room temperature to a
solid, metal-like material, which can
then be machined. It can be drilled, milled, sanded or filed, if required.
