Tank Chime Protection
Problem
Problem: Storage tanks suffer from corrosion of the underside of the base of the tank due to ingress of rainwater between the tank and the concrete base upon which the tank is supported. This situation is dangerous, since the corrosion is occurring in a position which is inaccessible and the results of which will only become apparent when the tank fails.
Application
The Thortex Poly Tech Flexible Membrane is applied to create a flashing for tank chime protection . This flashing is bonded to the tank and also to the concrete base thus preventing ingress of water. Since the Poly Tech are micro-porous any water trapped beneath the tank will evaporate and dry out further helping the corrosion to stop.
Problem
Both inside and outside surfaces mostly on sharp edges were severely effected from erosion, abrasion and UV attack. In picture clearly show inside view of wear out sharp edge due to erosion.
Application
Product is rubber coating and application was performed according to the product instruction of use. Rubberized paste grade elastomer being applied to fill cavities and veedout surfaces for restoration oforiginal profile.
Problem
As the close-up photograph shows, this tyre had suffered deep damage due to a heavy impact.
This off road vehicle was used in an industrial facility that was operational twenty four hours a day. Due to the replacement cost for a new tyre and the length of downtime required, thecompany wanted to undertake a high performance repair instead.
Application
The surface was prepared by abrading with a wire wheel and all loose rubber was cut away. The surface was then primed and Flexi-Tech 60 EG was applied to all areas needing repair.
Due to the limited downtime available, heat lamps were used to speed up the curing of the Flexi-Tech Eg. The total time to complete the repair was only six hours, which also gave the customer a massive cost saving.
The customer now uses Flexi-Tech products for all his off road tyre repairs.
Problem
This conveyor belt was used for transporting wood chips from one part of the plywood mill to another.
The conveyor belt had ripped partly due to the sub-zero temperatures which it very often had to operate in and also due to general wear and tear.
Application
A grinder was used to roughen andclean the surface of the belt.
Flexi-Tech 60 RG was used to repair the damaged belt with heat lamps being used to keep the affected areas warm and accelerate the cure of the belt.
