LIMPETITE<br />
RUBBER COATING SYSTEMS<br />
Limpetite rubber coating systems have been developed by <strong>BMS</strong>&PC to resist corrosion, abrasion<br />
and erosion in severely adverse conditions. These coatings are used extensively in the power<br />
generating industry against corrosion caused by salt water and dissimilar metals in cooling<br />
systems, condenser waterboxes, tubeplates, culverts, pipework and valves. Limpetite is resilient<br />
to many chemicals, successful applications include effluent and chemical plant installations.<br />
Limpetite Rubber Coating Systems are used by the Minisrty of Defence to protect the appendages<br />
on Royal Navy vessels.<br />

A3 Rubber is a brush applied multi-coat system with an excellent track record,<br />
providing protection against corrosion, erosion, abrasion and cavitation for over 60 years.<br />
PRC sprayable rubber is an environmentally friendly, 100% volume solid sprayable rubber with<br />
the advantage of being solvent free and fast to apply. It is suitable for coating large surface areas<br />
and can be applied up to 5mm W.F.T.<br />

OUR EXPERTISE INCLUDES:<br />
Surface cleaning and preparation by abrasive blasting<br />
Paint systems – hi tech, anti-corrosion protection (onshore, offshore and sub-sea) and architectural finishes<br />
Chemical barriers, epoxy ceramics and efficiency coatings<br />
Glass Flake coatings<br />
Metal spraying of zinc & aluminium for anti-corrosion<br />
Limpetite rubber coating systems – Limpetite A3 and Limpetite PRC (brushable and sprayable)<br />
Plasma and thermal sprayed coatings for abradable, wear resistant and heat reduction barriers<br />
Component reclamation of worn or mis-machined parts<br />
Sitework<br />
SURFACE PREPARATION<br />
Abrasive blasting is carried out in seven blast rooms housing a range of abrasives; chilled<br />
angular iron, aluminium oxide, glass bead and plastic media. This process is used to remove<br />
corrosion deposits and previously applied coatings to obtain surface cleanliness requirements.<br />
Specified surface profiles and blast finishes can be achieved to internationally recognised<br />
standards.<br />
PAINT SYSTEMS<br />
We apply a complete range of paint systems capable of offering over 20 years of corrosion<br />
protection in extreme environments. Paint systems are applied by qualified operators<br />
(ICATS, ICORR, NACE & TTP) using conventional, air assisted and airless spray equipment.<br />
Painting systems provide long life protection to vessels, pumps, valves, pipework,<br />
heat exchangers, structural steel fabrications, machinery components, armoured personnel<br />
carriers, gun components and much more.<br />

METAL SPRAYED<br />
COATINGS<br />
We apply a wide range of materials including steels, molybdenum, zinc, aluminium, bronzes,<br />
copper and their alloys, using the latest equipment and techniques. Metal coatings are applied<br />
for corrosion prevention, wear resistance, electrical conductivity and screening of electronic<br />
assemblies.<br />
Zinc coatings provide a long life coating of 10 to 25 years in severe corrosive conditions with<br />
heat protection up to 200°C. This coating is superior to galvanizing - without drain holes, drips<br />
and risk of distortion. Typically zinc is used to protect structural steelwork, storage tanks,<br />
bridge sections, motorway gantries, pedestrian barriers, sluice gates, weed grids, sewage plants,<br />
offshore structures, cranes, mechanical handling equipment, architectural ironwork and many<br />
other fabrications. The life of these coatings can be even further extended by applying a<br />
suitable sealer, coloured sealers are available.<br />
Aluminium coatings provide a superior corrosion protection in sub-sea and saline conditions<br />
up to temperatures of 400°C. Aluminium is typically specified for items requiring long term<br />
protection such as chimneys, flare stacks, hot air ducting, turbine exhaust systems, tested<br />
fixtures and other structures subject to high temperature corrosion.<br />
GLASS FLAKE COATINGS, CHEMICAL BARRIERS,<br />
EPOXY CERAMICS AND EFFICIENCY COATINGS<br />
Glass Flake coatings are hard wearing, offering excellent corrosion, erosion, acid and<br />
chemical protection at temperaturesup to 170°C. Applications include valves, valve bodies<br />
and valve blades. Once cured these coatings can be machined to achieve tight tolerances.<br />
Chemical barriers, epoxy ceramics and efficiency coatings can be applied to provide<br />
resistance against corrosion,wear and chemicals at temperatures up to 200°C. Applications<br />
include pumps, heat exchangers and valves.<br />
QUALITY<br />
ASSURANCE<br />
We operate a Quality Management System approved to ISO9001, AS9100 and<br />
NADCAP which ensures full control, traceability, monitoring and inspection<br />
throughout our processes. In-house laboratory capabilities for sampling and<br />
testing materials and coatings including: Rockwell & Vickers hardness,<br />
Metallographic Evaluation & Imaging capturing.<br />
We are approved by many major customers including Rolls Royce, Airbus, DSG,<br />
Babcock, Alstom, BAE Systems and Oil and Gas Systems.<br />
Customer specifications include: NORSOK M501, Aker Solutions, BP, Conoco Phillips, Defence Standards,<br />
Shell, Exxon Mobil, Total, Saudi Aramco, Kvaerner, ABB Offshore, Petrobras and Statoil.<br />
RECLAMATION OF WORN OR<br />
MIS-MACHINED PARTS<br />
Metal spraying is used to reclaim undersized, worn or mis-machined parts in plant and<br />
equipment saving ‘downtimeʼ and expensive replacement parts. Worn, mis-machined and<br />
obsolete components can be ‘built upʼ with harder and more wear resistant materials to provide<br />
a longer lasting service life.<br />
Typical uses: reclamation of shaft journals, rotary bearings, rollers, hydraulic rams and cylinders,<br />
crankshafts and journals, internal bearing surfaces, printing and dryer rolls.<br />
PLASMA AND THERMAL<br />
SPRAY COATINGS<br />
Plasma and thermal spraying use heat during the spray process to melt metal, ceramic<br />
wires and powders to form a coating.<br />
Plasma sprayed hard metals and ceramic coatings such as Tungsten Carbide,<br />
Molybdenum, composites and Chrome Oxide are used extensively in the aerospace<br />
industry to coat critical aircraft engine components in rocket and jet engines providing<br />
thermal barriers, electrical insulation, abradable and high wear resistance coatings. This<br />
protection enables components to operate for longer in extreme conditions up to 1000°C.
