    Selection Of Abrasion Resistant Products We Supply

    Coating solutions come in a variety of forms, from putty-like compounds to more viscous epoxy polymers. Cotter Marketing carries a wide range of products from great suppliers such as Chesterton and Devcon.

    Here is a sample of their abrasion resistance products:

     

    Dfense Blok

    Epoxy-based compound Dfense Blok is truly a superior product in terms of wear and abrasion resistance. It stands out for its superb ability to stand up to tough conditions, where other products are prone to failure.

    Its features are as follows:

    • Great for high impact conditions
    • Four-fold abrasion resistance when compared to competing products
    • Excellent sliding abrasion resistance

     

    Flexane High Performance Putty

    Designed for lining and protecting equipment used in processing, Flexane High Performance Putty can be easily troweled into place for strong protection against gouging, impact, and of course, abrasion.

    Its features are as follows:

    • Uses Flexane Primers to provide excellent adhesion
    • Bondable to most surfaces, including wood, rubber, concrete, metal, and fibreglass
    • Tough and resilient rubber compound

     

    Brushable Ceramic

    When you need a smooth protective barrier to resist wear and abrasion, Brushable Ceramic epoxy compound will help you get the job done efficiently. Applied to a 10-15 ml thickness coating, this low-viscosity epoxy compound works wonders against not only abrasion, but also protects against chemical spills, erosion, and corrosion.

    Its features are as follows:

    • Creates a low-friction surface
    • Applicable at very high temperatures
    • Acceptable for use in food processing applications

     

    Frequently Asked Questions


    What is the most abrasion resistant metal?

    Outside of scientific experiments with gold and platinum alloys, the most abrasion resistant metal commonly used today is abrasion resistant steel. Steel alloys containing additional carbon, manganese, and chromium assist with abrasion resistance.


    What is abrasion testing?

    Abrasion testing is the means by which materials such as surfaces and coatings are tested for their ability to resist or succumb to friction in various environments. This enables the tester to determine the lifespan of the tested object, as well as its ability to resist against rupturing, damage, and gradual wear due to the forces of frictional abrasion.


    What is metal abrasion?

    Metal abrasion is the frictional wearing out or grinding away of metals, such as between components in a piece of machinery. Abrasion is undesirable due to its ability to compromise the lifespan and safety of the equipment, so measures should be taken to protect against and mitigate abrasion of metals. This can include the application of coating materials designed to reduce metal abrasion
