Abakan, an advanced coatings and metal formulations specialist, completed initial field-testing of its proprietary nanocomposite liquid metal corrosion-resistant coating, PComP™ M, on full-sized production equipment with a leading steel producer. The company is also working with several of the world’s largest steel companies to validate component life extension on zinc pot rolls used extensively in the continuous hot dip galvanising process, as well as other components used in the handling and processing of molten metals.
“PComP™ M was developed to extend the useful life of zinc pot rolls and other components exposed to liquid metal”, stated MesoCoat CEO Stephen C. Goss. “PComP™ M has demonstrated vastly improved molten metal corrosion resistance, combined with increased durability and reliability in the rapidly changing temperature environment encountered in molten metal contact, as compared to conventional materials.”
“Our PComP™ M coating is comparable to Teflon™ for non-stick cookware”, explained Goss. “We protect the base metal, including rolls used in galvanising and aluminising lines, die casting moulds and in several other similar applications that involve molten metal. PComP™ M coatings ensure that the molten metal does not damage or degrade the rolls, moulds and other components that are exposed to liquid metals during the galvanising and other molten metal handling process.”
