Hudco PulvaWear™

Super-Tough Beaded Wearing Compound

PulvaWear™ is a specially formulated wear resistant coating for use in coal pulverizing mills.  The composition of dense alumina spheres and micro ceramic powder in a ballistic grade aramid fiber reinforced epoxy matrix provides remarkable service life when applied to classifier cones, mill walls and other internal components.  The protective properties of PulvaWear™ are uniquely optimized by typical coal mill operating temperatures.

 

PulvaWear™ is supplied in a complete kit including tools for mixing and application.

Typical Applications

In addition to coal pulverizing mills, PulvaWear™ also provides excellent wear protection in a wide range of applications including chutes, screw conveyors, pneumatic conveying equipment and other equipment subject to fine particle abrasion.

(B) Roughen surface by grinding or sandblasting (3-5 mil surface profile) Surface must be completely dry with a minimum surface temperature of 75° F before applying.

 

Mixing:

 Mix 4 parts of resin to 1 part of hardener by weight.  Kits are supplied in the correct ratio. Ensure that the sides of the mixing container are scraped into the mixture. Mix several minutes, until consistent color is achieved.

 

Application: 

Apply product to prepared surface and use supplied tools to achieve desired finish.

 

Curing:

At 75° F, product will gel in 60 min.  Initial cure will occur in 6 Hours.  In order for the product to reach its 300° F potential, it must be post cured for 4 hours at a temperature of 200° F or higher.
