New Products
CoroTech introduces infusion process
plants, including difficult-to-access areas
where traditional lining methods are
impractical or inconsistent. The process
can produce very strong structural laminates with high fiberglass content, is
clean with no resin left to dry on open
surfaces and emits no VOCs into the
atmosphere.
The Coro Tech infusion lining process provides a cost effective alternative to replacing
existing pipes and tanks, a lower cost alternative to using higher cost alloys for new
applications requiring corrosion resistance and minimizes system downtime because
of the ability to apply these linings on-site.
An innovative new process for protecting the inside of pipes and storage
tanks from corrosive substances,
called “infusion lining,” was developed
by Grandville, MI-based CoroTech
Company, which has a patent application for the process pending with the
U.S. Patents Office. Infusion lining
can lead to significant savings for
industrial companies that use carbon,
alloy or fiberglass reinforced plastic
(FRP) pipes or tanks, according to the
company.
The process relies on creating a negative cavity pressure within a pipe or tank
to pull liquid resins into dry composite
laminates. The resins bond to the interior surfaces to create a uniform, hardened, durable lining that protects from
corrosive substances and can extend the
life of the protected surfaces by years.
Coro Tech’s infusion lining process is an
adaptation of the FRP infusion method
utilized successfully by the marine and
aerospace industries.
The process can be performed on-site
at existing facilities such as power
ANAC LAUNCHES
TWO-COMPONENT AEROSOLS
Building on the wide acceptance of
two-component (2K) aerosols and the
aerospace market’s desire for a smaller can, AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings
(ANAC) has introduced a new 250ml
aerosol package. For the military sector, both MIL-PRF-23377 and MIL-
PRF-85285 materials are packaged in
both sizes of the two-component
aerosols and are approved by the US
Navy. They are also listed in the US
Navy’s 01-1A-509 Corrosion Manual.
The aerosol packaging is also
endorsed by the US Air Force and is
listed in their official website. For the
commercial sector, primers conforming to BMS 10-11 and 10-72, and top-
A 2K aerosol provides users with high performance aerospace coatings in a convenient and easy-to-use package, minimizing
waste and saving time normally spent on
mixing and clean-up.
