Microbead Coat

Hofmann Microbead Coat is trowel-able mass formulated with proprietary materials of sapphire hard high alumina beads of specific size and silicon carbide doped in resin matrix with reinforcement. This is a protective coating providing a surface resistance to abrasion and chemical attack. Microbead is an excellent remedy for the preventive maintenance of any plant where erosion and corrosion are chronicle problem. Microbead is a thixotropy formulation which permits both vertical as well as horizontal application with simple hand tools. Hofmann microbead coat can also be cast and moulded in to wide variety of shape and pattern. Microbead consist of sapphire hard beads of 90% alumina having a bead hardness of 9 on MOH scale .It can be applied on any surface like metal, ceramic, plastic, concrete, etc., to convert the soft surface to sapphire hard, chemical and corrosion resistant. To make sure that coating has been properly cured, pierce with fingernails into the coating. If the nail fails to pierce, it indicates that the coating is fully cured and surface is serviceable; otherwise leave it for further period to cure or heat the surface by flame at temperature of 100-150°C for 2 hours for full curing.

Advantages: increase equipment life; reduce operating cost; easily convert soft surface to hard surface; save down time; can be cast and moulded; and outperforms any other wears coating.
