Problem:<br />
This agitator would receive extreme corrosion <strong>and</strong> pitting from mixing a solution of 35% Hydrolchloric<br />
Acid. Previous method was to replace agitator when worn. Replacement cost for the agitator was<br />
estimated at $3K.<br />
Solution:<br />
The complete agitator was s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. All repair <strong>and</strong> coating areas<br />
were chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Ceramic <strong>Repair</strong> was mixed <strong>and</strong> applied to all<br />
corroded <strong>and</strong> cavitated areas deeper than 1/8”. Following a partial cure, (4 hours), Brushable Ceramic<br />
Blue was applied to a thickness of 30 mils. Following a partial cure, (4 hours), a second coat of<br />
Brushable Ceramic Red was applied, again to a thickness of 30 mils. Brushable Ceramic encapsulated<br />
the repair areas <strong>and</strong> provided a long lasting, smooth chemical resistant coating. <strong>Devcon</strong>’s repair cost was<br />
$500.
