Glassflake filled polyester, vinyl-ester and epoxy systems have proven track record’s of long
term corrosion protection in aggressive service applications, with design and actual life for
many applications being measured in decades rather than years.
Significant improvements have been achieved during the past decade both in resin and
glassflake technology. The application properties and application techniques of these
specialist polymer linings have also advanced considerably.
Capital equipment can often be refurbished using heavy-duty glassflake linings without the
need for replacement parts and at a fraction of the replacement cost. On engineering
components such as pumps, valves, etc, the composite nature of glassflake linings allow
the linings to be built to required thickness and where required post-machined to original
tolerances.
