Case Study: CC022: Corroglass 600 for fan unit
Corrosion protection for fan unit.
Customer
General industry
Application Date
2003.
Scope Of Work
Protection of new impeller and casing, designed for use in aggressive conditions.
Products
Internals: Corroglass 600 Series.
Externals: Plasmet ZF.
Substrate
Carbon steel.
Coating system
• Internal: The impeller was grit blasted to ISO 8501-1,
SA 21/2 and treated using Corroglass 600 Seriesmaterials.
• The casing was grit blasted internally to the same
standard, followed by application of Corroglass 600
Series to a minimum dry film thickness of 1mm,
carried into the flange rebates and finished flat to
ensure optimum performance in use.
• External: The area was grit blasted to SA 2 and
protected using two coats of Plasmet ZF.
Coating credentials
This particular unit was developed for use at a duty
incorporating 1% hydrochloric acid, 500ppm
monochlorobenzene and moist air at 30ºC, operating
at a maximum of 1339rpm and requiring additional
protection against corrosion attack. Using Corrocoat’s engineering facilities the impeller was fully balanced to BS6861-pt1.
