Did you Know?

• Concrete is used for its compressive strength,

however, concrete itself is not suitable for

repair of concrete surfaces. Repairs using

concrete are prone to delaminate and crack.

• A common cause of concrete degradation

is corrosion - spalling. Because concrete is

permeable, it is prone to water damage which

causes embedded steel reinforcement bars to

corrode. The corroded steel bars expand and

exert a force on the surrounding concrete

causing the concrete to bulge and crack.

Loctite® Fixmaster® Concrete Surface Repair & Rebuild

Loctite® Fixmaster® high strength concrete repair products offer the solution to fi ll and restore concrete permanently, while minimising disruption to production.

• Chemical and corrosion resistant.

• Self leveling.

• Stronger then concrete.

• Bonds to concrete, wood, metals, bricks and other common building materials.

Challenge:

All the coal handlingequipment, like bucket loadersand shufflersare stressed under strong abrasion and corrosion.

Grinding rollof pulveriser suffers through heavy vibration and high loads when it grinds coal into a fine powder.

Feed line of pulverised coal. Severe abrasion from the fine coal particles, especially on elbows.

The arm of the grinding roll was worn by coal particles.

After surface preparation by abrasive blast cleaning, two coats of Loctite® Nordbak®

Brushable Ceramic Grey were applied to create a non-slip, wear and corrosion resistant surface. The high gloss finish reduces sticking of coal particles to the shuffle inner surface.

Threadlocking of fasteners or fittings on grinding roll to ensure that this part of equipment works without interruption and costly down time with Loctite® 277, 243 or 262.

Loctite® Nordbak® High Temperature Pneu-Wear was used to coat inner part of the elbow. The product is designed to rebuild, repair and protect equipment exposed to extreme abrasive wear from fine particles of pulverized coal, up to 230 °C.

Did you Know?What is the function of a Gasket?• Maintains a seal.• Remains impervious to industrial fl uids.• Compatable with the materials

around the gasket.Why do Gaskets leak?• Stress distortion is a primary cause of cork, paper and cut gasketing products failure.• Cause of Stress Distortion:

– Uneven and Localised stress causes leaks.– Over-tightening bolts causes stress distortion.– Pressure surges causes leaks.– Different rates for thermal expansion causes leaks.

Loctite® Gasketing

Loctite® anaerobic gasketing technology has revolutionised fl ange sealing in all industries. Anaerobic gasketing materials remain liquid when exposed to air, but cure when confi ned between mating fl anges. They are best suited for small gap applications and rigid metal-to-metal assemblies.

With excellent fl uid resistance, formulated for higher operating temperatures, Loctite®

silicone gasketing materials are best suited for large gap applications and stamped metal assemblies.

• No shimming effect - controlled tolerances, no need for re-torquing.

• Fill all voids - reduce the need for a fi ne surface fi nish of fl anges.

• Parts can be disassembled easily after extended service.

• Resists high pressure when fully cured.

Gas Fired Power Plants

Gas fired power plants are either single-cycle plants fuelled entirely by natural gas, or combine the gas turbine cycle with a coal fired unit. In most cases, gas fired power plants operate in a combined cycle process using a gas and a steam turbine to generate electricity.Therefore, many applications are similar to those in coal fired plants, e.g. on the cooling cycle, cooling pumps or steam turbine. Applications on the gas turbine, the gas pipes, the intake air or the flue gas duct etc. require different maintenance and service solutions. Henkel offers products tailored specifically to these needs.

Feed water tank Heavy machinery / shaft & assemblies

Challenge: Challenge:Corrosion protection of feed water tanksand repair of corroded tank inside surface. Corrosion protection of the external surface of industrial water pipes.

Prevent loosening and corrosion of the bearing blockfastener to ensure reliability of compo-nents mounted onto the base plate.

After surface preparation by abrasive blast cleaning, coat the entire inside surface with Loctite® Sprayable Ceramic to achieve a uniform corrosion protection coating on the inner tank surface. Coat the external sur-face of water pipes with Loctite® Sprayable or Loctite® Nordbak® Brushable Ceramic.

Apply Loctite® 2701 High Strength Threadlocker onto the bearing block faste-ner and secure the assembly.

Why Do Bearings Fail?

• Defective bearing seats on shafts and

in housings

• Misalignment

• Faulty mounting practice

• Incorrect shaft and housing fi ts

• Inadequate sealing

• Ineffective sealing

Natural gas pipes, fittings & pressure reducing stations

Challenge:Prevent leaks from threaded fittings of the gas pipes and pressure reducing station.

Seal all fittings with Loctite® 577 Thread Sealant. Use for max. 3 thread size. If applied below 5 °C, Loctite® 577 cures only in combi-nation with Loctite® 7649 Activator. Recommended for pressure up to 7 bar.

Loctite® Solution:

Challenge:

Rusted, corroded and seized parts.

Use Loctite® Freeze and Release to instantly chill seized and rusted parts (bolts, nuts, studs). The exceptional shock-freeze effect causes microscopic cracks in the layer of rust, allowing the lubricating ingredient to wick directly into the rust by capil-lary action. The assembly can be easily dismantled after allowing 1-2 minutes reaction time. Released parts remain lubricated and protected from corrosion.

Did you Know?

• Concrete is used for its compressive strength,

however, concrete itself is not suitable for

repair of concrete surfaces. Repairs using

concrete are prone to delaminate and crack.

• A common cause of concrete degradation

is corrosion - spalling. Because concrete is

permeable, it is prone to water damage which

causes embedded steel reinforcement bars to

corrode. The corroded steel bars expand and

exert a force on the surrounding concrete

causing the concrete to bulge and crack.

Loctite® Fixmaster® Concrete Surface Repair & Rebuild

Loctite® Fixmaster® high strength concrete repair products offer the solution to fi ll and restore concrete permanently, while minimising disruption to production.

• Chemical and corrosion resistant.

• Self leveling.

• Stronger then concrete.

• Bonds to concrete, wood, metals, bricks and other common building materials.
