Problem:<br />
The existing ceramic tiles would receive extreme abrasive wear <strong>and</strong> damage from processing silica. The<br />
wear was so severe that the tiles required immediate replacement. This repair process was considered time<br />
consuming <strong>and</strong> expensive.<br />
Solution:<br />
The elevator substrate <strong>and</strong> ceramic tile edges were roughened using a grinder <strong>and</strong> wire wheel attachment.<br />
Complete surface area was then chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Wearguard Fine was<br />
applied to a thickness matching that of the original ceramic tiles. Wear Guard Fine Load was smoothed<br />
<strong>and</strong> contoured using acetone as a thinning agent following gel point. Wear Guard Fine Load provided a<br />
long lasting, abrasion resistant repair to the damaged ceramic tiles of this elevator system.
