Coatings

• Description: Coatings are used and recommended to protect surfaces, equipment, metal tanks, among others, to protect against corrosion generated by the chemical reactions of acids, bases or solvents within the industry.

Design ranges: Lapsolite offers the application of coatings on areas from 1 m2 up to 500 m2 or more. The success of a coating lies in the correct selection of material which will be used to protect a piece of equipment or a surface; since not all chemical compounds behave alike and you must select the material that offers better resistance, as well as to ensure the anchor between the different materials such as steel and concrete.

Among the factors to be considered in the selection of material we have:

  • Type of substance (liquid, gas, steam, powder, etc.)
  • Chemical substance
  • Concentration
  • Temperature
  • Type of exposure (direct, indirect)

Materials commonly used include:

FRP, PP, PE, PVC, CPVC, PVDF, ECTFE, among others.

Applications: Industrial plants (metallurgical, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, etc.) shopping centers, hospitals, bus terminals.

Benefits:

  • Chemical resistance.
  • Prolonged life.
  • Protection of equipment or surfaces.
  • Low maintenance cost.
