LOCTITE® coating extends lifetime of
flue gas duct … and eliminates the cost
of repair and downtime
Conditions in a flue gas duct are extreme.
Heightened exposure to heat and aggressive
chemicals can cause the steel structure to crack or
fracture resulting in leakage. In the worst case, this
can lead to plant shutdowns and expensive repairs.
As a manufacturer itself, Henkel fully understands
the problem and has chosen to take a proactive
approach by treating the flue gas duct at its own
power plant in Düsseldorf with LOCTITE® PC 7255.
This protective coating is a sprayable, ceramic reinforced epoxy that has proven its
ability to extend the lifetime of a wide variety of plant from tanks and chutes to heat
exchangers, centrifu ges and impellers.

New coatings will help
limit contamination in
crucibles
Mate’s new SuperMax™ tool coating
answers today’s requirements for
high performance, longer lasting
punch press tooling. Providing a
hard, wear resistant and lubricious
coating, SuperMax acts as a
barrier between the punch and
sheet metal, greatly improving
stripping and extending tool life.
A proprietary coating, SuperMax
provides more hits between
sharpening,
which
reduces
machine downtime. SuperMax
also reduces galling, slug pulling
and corner breakdown enhancing the quality and efficiency of the
punching process.
Outperforming currently available premium coatings by 2 to 8 times,
SuperMax is applied using the very latest nano-layer technology. It is a
harder, denser film that greatly increases wear resistance and a much
lower friction coefficient of approximately 20 percent. This lower friction
means less heat build-up, less galling (adhesion) and much longer tool
life.
Morgan Advanced Materials has made two
new additions to its extensive range of
crucible coatings for the foundry sector.
Contamination of molten metals by crucible
materials during melting operations can be
minimised by coating the interior surface
of the crucible, helping to prevent reactions between the metal and the
crucible while acting as a diffusion barrier to reduce impurities.
PRO™ and STAR™ Coatings from Morgan’s Molten Metal Systems business
have been formulated to reduce impurities and so optimise the quality of
the molten metal and the final cast product.

New Mate SuperMax™ Tool Coating
Outperforms Other Coatings
2 To 8 Times
SuperMax works well on Mate’s M4PM™, M2 and Durasteel™ punches in
round, rectangle, oval and square punch configurations. Its application
effectiveness includes 3000 and 5000 series aluminum, galvanized
and stainless steels, pre-painted material, vinyl coated material and
fiberglass.
“Mate SuperMax is a real breakthrough and the next generation in tool
coating,” stated John Galich, Mate marketing manager. “It increases
tool performance beyond anything that’s currently available, further
substantiating Mate’s mission of providing superior solutions for sheet
metal fabricators.”
