The manufacturing industry has long relied upon ceramic wear liners to protect industrial equipment from wear, corrosion, abrasion and high-impact forces. By combining ceramic coatings with flexible rubber dampeners, it is possible to extend the life of the equipment and thus reduce its through-life cost. But there are other benefits to ceramic coatings too.
1. Enhanced performance
Industrial equipment that has been protected with coatings such as those applied by www.kingfisher-industrial.com/wear-protection/ceramics will typically withstand extreme conditions for far longer than an untreated equivalent.
2. Improved temperature stability
Ceramic coatings combine outstanding heat resistance with low thermal conductivity, meaning that equipment that has been treated with ceramic wear liners will be less vulnerable to the effects of extreme temperatures such as those experienced during the manufacturing process.
3. Chemically inert
Ceramic coatings are chemically inert, meaning that they do not react with other substances. This is a huge benefit in manufacturing environments where oxidation and chemical exposure are risks.
4. Corrosion resistant
Ceramic coatings can extend the lifespan of treated materials by preventing corrosion from developing and embrittling the equipment.
5. Ideally suited to high-voltage environments
Ceramic coatings have excellent electrical insulation properties and can prevent electrical shortages and malfunctions that would otherwise delay or cease manufacturing, resulting in unacceptable time and cost delays.
In short, ceramic coatings are a versatile method of protecting valuable equipment that can extend its lifespan, prevent it from succumbing to unexpected breakdowns, protect it against chemical exposure and resist corrosion. These benefits continue to drive the popularity of ceramic coatings in the manufacturing sector.
