Application ExamplesFIXMASTER ® EPOXIESProblem:Equipment:Solution:Gap between ceramic tileand flange lipsDischarge flange faceof cycloneFIXMASTER ® WearResistant PuttyFIXMASTER ® Wear Resistant Putty fills the gap between linerand flange, created when new ceramic tiles were installed.Wear Resistant Putty is troweled into the gap and either"wet finished" (see Application Tips on page 4) or machinedto exact tolerances.Problem:Equipment:Leaking flangeFlange face on achemical pumpSolution: FIXMASTER ®Aluminum PuttyFlange faces, eroded by chemical exposure, were previouslyrepaired by welding and machining. FIXMASTER ® AluminumPutty repairs aluminum faces at a lower cost and with far lessdowntime than conventional methods.Problem:Equipment:Severely damaged pipeSlurry transport pipeSolution: FIXMASTER ®Metal Magic SteelDamage to this pipe was so severe that expanded mesh iswelded over the opening to provide reinforcement for theepoxy application. FIXMASTER ® Metal Magic Steel is pressedover the mesh to fill and seal the application area. The pipe isready for service in just minutes.NORDBAK ® EPOXIESProblem:Equipment:Uneven tiled liningInlet section of heavymedia cycloneSolution: NORDBAK ®Brushable CeramicIn this two-step process, NORDBAK ® Wearing Compound isused to rebuild the flat disk area of the cyclone intake.NORDBAK ® Brushable Ceramic is then applied to provide alow-friction finish to prevent turbulence created byirregularities in the tile profile.Problem:Equipment:Eroded processingequipmentCyclone apexSolution: NORDBAK ®Wearing CompoundA form on the end of the apex is used to rebuild the interior toits original dimensions. NORDBAK ® Wearing Compound isapplied here with a gloved hand to fill the eroded area andsmooth the finish.Problem:Equipment:Damage from abrasivecoal handlingHeavy media cycloneSolution: NORDBAK ®Wearing CompoundBoth the inlet section and vortex finder of this heavymedia cyclone are rebuilt and protected with NORDBAK ®Wearing Compound.Problem:Equipment:Erosion of internalstructureSide suctionmedia pumpSolution: NORDBAK ®Wearing CompoundA pump divider designed to reduce the turbulence inside thepump was almost completely worn away due to abrasion. Itwas rebuilt using a form over which NORDBAK ® WearingCompound was applied until the repaired section replicated theoriginal divider.Problem:Equipment:Solution:Worn bronze partsPropeller castingNORDBAK ® Pneu-Wearand Brushable CeramicSevere abrasion had worn out a critical part of a marinepropeller. To rebuild the surface and provide maximumprotection from salt water exposure, NORDBAK ® Pneu-Wearwas applied. The area was then coated with NORDBAK ®Brushable Ceramic to provide a durable, low-friction finish.Epoxy Application Guide17
