Chester Metal Ceramic FSL

DESCRIPTION:
Chester Metal Ceramic FSL is a two-element liquid epoxy-ceramic composite with extended working life. Contains
modified epoxy resins, ceramic, steel and fiber fillers. Coating systems for protecting metals from the effects of
erosion, cavitations, corrosion and bonding metal surfaces. The ceramic-filled epoxy coating cures at room
temperature.

TYPICAL APPLICATION:
• REGENERATION OF CRACKED POMPS BODYS • KORT NOZZLES
AND IMPELLERS • BOW THRUSTERS
• REBUILDING OF HEAT EXCHANGERS TUBE • TANKS
SHEETS, WATER BOX ENDS, DIVISION BARS • PUMP CASINGS
• FLANGE FACES • PIPE ELBOWS
• BUTTERFLY AND GATE VALVES
• PROPELLERS
