Apexior 1
Hot water side boiler coating 370°C. Apexior 1 is a single component, solvent-based, air-drying organic type coating. It is easy to apply and is specifically formulated for the hot water-side corrosion prevention of metal surfaces.
Features & Benefits
- Air dries, easy to apply
- Excellent wettability properties
- Easily re-coatable
- Resistant to boiling water/steam to 370ºC
- Increases heat transfer efficiency
- Outstanding resistance to thermal shock (immersion)
- Inert to water treatment chemicals
- Prevents corrosion in standby service
- Prevents scale build up
- Surface tolerant features – requires minimal preparation
Intended Uses
Apexior 1 is a coating that excels in severe thermal cyclic immersion service and is resistant to continuous immersion in boiling water and steam from 100°C to 370°C. It aids in the reduction and prevention of tight bonding of hard scale and allows for easy cleaning and removal of any scale build up in steam generating equipment.
Apexior 1 prevents pitting corrosion and stops corrosion that has already begun - except for badly pitted areas. It has outstanding wetting properties and adheres well to power tooled cleaned areas. Equipment coated with Apexior 1 will also see an increase in heat transfer efficiency. Apexior 1 performs ideally with water treatment in steam generating equipment.
Apexior 1 Protects Hot Water Surfaces Of:
- Steam generating equipment
- Hot condensate return tanks
- De-aerators
- Hot process tanks
- Autoclaves, sterilizing equipment
- Heat recovery system
- Mud and steam drums
- Steam traps
Not Recommended For:
- Hot water tank service with average operating temperature below 90°C unless heat cured
- Immersion in solvents or acids
- Interior boilers held for long periods in cold wet layup or standby service
