Scope of Work 

The cooler waterbox covers would be considered beyond repair for most companies, without the established refurbishment expertise of Corrocoat. Cracking of the cover was stabilised by performing external metal stitch repairs. The internals were then re-profiled, followed by blasting and coating using a high build vinyl ester coating.

Products 

• Corroglass 600 series.
• Plasmet ZF.

Coating System

• Removed existing coating.
• Pre machined rebates. Grit blasted internals to ISO 8501-1, Sa2½
• Carried out metal stitch repair.
• Coated using Corroglass 600 to a minimum dft of 1.5mm.
• Post machined. Grit blasted externals to ISO 8501-1, SA21/2.
• Applied Plasmet ZF, followed by a proprietary topcoat.
