During the
AMPP + Expo 2024 Annual Conference
held in New Orleans, our team had the opportunity to speak with Hicham Saade, Global Product Manager at A.W. Chesterton Company a firm with a history dating back to 1884, specializing in industrial solutions.
Saade shared details on the wide range of products the company offers, including coatings, lubricants, mechanical seals, packaging, equipment control and services, with a particular focus on the coatings division during the conference.
[post_relacionado]The company, known for its innovation in high chemical resistant coatings, stands out in the market for its solutions designed to face extreme conditions, such as corrosion and erosion. Chesterton coatings are ideal for protecting equipment and extending its service life, even allowing damaged components, such as pumps, to be rebuilt back to their original specifications without the need for costly replacements.
“We have coatings for steel and others designed for concrete.”
Importantly, Saade explained that the durability of these coatings varies depending on the severity of the application, but the goal is always to provide long-term solutions. Chesterton offers coatings for both steel and concrete to suit a variety of industrial needs, including floor repair and containment area protection.
“The duration will depend on the severity of the application. If the material is specified correctly, long-term applications are usually obtained.”
One of the most outstanding innovations presented by Saade is the use of epoxy enriched with ceramic beads in its coatings. This composition, selected according to the aggressiveness of the application, can contain up to 92% ceramic, offering a resistance comparable to that of ceramic tiles but with the ease of application of a coating. This technology not only improves equipment durability, but is also adaptable to different materials, including steel, concrete, rubber and certain plastics.
