Ceramic Polymer GmbH: Protective coatings for biogas applications

ROEDINGHAUSEN, Germany - April 9, 2014 - PRLog -- For a huge biogas plant in England, Ceramic Polymer’s highly resistant coatings were recently applied on 4 specific paddle mixers.

·       Height of the stirring units: approx. 5 meters

·       Material of the paddles: stainless steel without coating

·       Coating product for  the shafts and pillar constructions: Proguard CN 200

·       Bolted areas: Additional sealing with Ultra-Perform Z-2 F

·       Manufacturer of the paddle mixers: Steverding Rührwerkstechnik GmbH

·       Application of the coating: SLP Beschichtungs GmbH

The shafts and pillar constructions were coated in one layer with the chemically resistant premium product Proguard CN 200 by airless spraying methods.

The shaft and the paddle construction are placed in the variable range of biogas and biomass. The steel components are steadily exposed to the influences of the biogas, which provoke the highly corrosive effect. A coating system with excellent physical properties and resistances is essential for this kind of application.

For moisture-proof sealing of the corrodible screwings a special coating paste from Ceramic Polymer’s sister company Ultra Perform Coatings GmbH was applied; Ultra-Perform Z-2 F, the high-quality repair grout with specific fiber-reinforcement.
