WPS offers a variety of solvent-free metal repair composites and epoxy coatings for the repair and protection of critical equipment such as heat exchangers. Key areas like tube sheets, water boxes, flange faces, division bars, and end covers can be safeguarded against galvanic corrosion and chemical attack. Our cold-curing epoxy products allow for rapid, in-situ application, minimizing downtime while providing long-term erosion and corrosion protection. Our solutions also serve as excellent electrical insulators, preventing galvanic corrosion by isolating dissimilar metals used in heat exchangers.
Heat Exchanger Restoration
Heat exchangers can be repaired using cold-applied metal repair composites and epoxy coatings that not only rebuild components to their original profile but also:
- Provide long-term erosion and corrosion resistance
- Eliminate galvanic corrosion
- Prevent crevice corrosion
- Minimize equipment downtime
- Provide high-temperature resistance
- Offer outstanding chemical resistance against a wide range of chemicals
- Eliminate the need for hot work
- Reduce expensive replacement costs
- Extend equipment life
WPS’s metal repair materials perform excellently under various service conditions. For general repairs to heat exchanger components such as tube sheets, flange faces, water boxes, and end covers, our composites are commonly used. Areas subject to high erosion and corrosion can be rebuilt using specialized materials, and larger areas requiring longer overcoating times can also be restored. Additionally, we offer high-temperature materials that can be used to rebuild heat exchangers operating at high temperatures.
Heat Exchanger Protection with Epoxy Coatings
Our metal repair composites are designed to be paired with a wide range of our epoxy coatings to achieve long-term erosion and corrosion protection for heat exchangers. Our coatings provide erosion resistance in continuous immersion at various temperatures and enhance efficiency.
Other specialist coatings incorporating chemical, high-temperature, erosion, and cavitation resistance ensure that WPS has a solution for nearly all service conditions.
