ABRESIST Linings

Fused cast basalt is a mineral based wear protection material for plant components when the conveying material produces friction induced abrasion.

Installation: cylinders or shaped components in cement mortar. In special cases epoxies or synthetic mortars may be used due to strong mechanical stresses and/or vibration. Where higher temperatures are concerned, potassium silicate mortar may be used for installation.

Application temperature: up to 350 °C/ 662 °F depending on application and geometry.

Advantages: highly abrasion resistant, smooth surface that lasts, no corrosion.

With life times of more than 30 years, ABRESIST pipelines have been used for the hydraulic conveying of ash on all continents.
This plant in the U.S. has over 10,000 meters of 294 mm ID pipe in service.
