Problem:<br />
The exterior surfaces of these condensate pipes would receive extreme corrosion due to aggressive<br />
operating conditions. The corrosion was minimal but required immediate preventative action. The<br />
previously used protective coating was epoxy in chemistry would crack <strong>and</strong> fail due to thermal cycling.<br />
Solution:<br />
Complete coating surfaces were s<strong>and</strong>blasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. Surface areas were then<br />
chemically cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Both FL10 <strong>and</strong> FL20 Primers were applied <strong>and</strong> each<br />
allowed to cure or dry for 15 minutes. Using both primers will improve adhesion of Flexane Brushable<br />
from 25 pli to 50 pli. Flexane Brushable was applied in 2 stages. Each coat was applied to a thickness of<br />
30 mils. The first coat was allowed to partially cure for 4 hours before re-coating. Flexane Brushable<br />
provided a long lasting, flexible, (350% elongation), protective surface coating that was resistant to<br />
thermal cycling.
