Sand Washer Unit: Wear & Abrasion Protection, UK

209 EIP PU solvent-free urethane extreme impact and abrasion-resistant coating.

The Challenge:
A sand washer unit at a UK steel manufacturer was suffering from severe abrasion and wear due to the continuous processing of aggregates and slurry. This constant mechanical stress led to frequent equipment breakdowns, threatening the overall operational efficiency of the facility. To prevent costly downtime and avoid a potential production halt, the company required a durable solution capable of withstanding a highly abrasive and corrosive operating environment.

The Solution:
The surface was hand sanded and degreased using an MEK cleaner to remove all contaminants, ensuring optimum adhesion. Resimac 209 EIP PU was then brush applied to the sand washer at a wet film thickness of 300–400 microns per coat. To maximise wear resistance, the product was applied as a two-coat system, providing the unit with a uniform, high-durability protective barrier against abrasion and wear.

Results & Benefits of 209 EIP PU extreme impact and abrasion-resistant coating.

The client was extremely impressed with the level of protection and enhanced performance of the sand washer.
The success of the application resulted in two additional sand washer units being scheduled for coating the following year.
The two-coat system significantly extended the operational life of the asset.
Full asset replacement was avoided, reducing maintenance requirements and lowering long-term operating costs.

Industrial equipment operating in demanding environments faces constant damage from impact, abrasion, slurries and aggregate flow. Without the right protection, components such as pumps, valves, chutes, hoppers, pipes, tanks, and structural steel can suffer premature wear, resulting in costly downtime and repairs.

Resimac 209 EIP PU is a high-build, solvent-free polyurethane coating engineered to provide exceptional protection against extreme impact and abrasion. Its advanced polyurethane technology creates a tough yet flexible barrier that bonds to both steel and concrete, absorbing impact while resisting wear in the harshest operating conditions. The coating can be applied by brush, roller, or spray, making it suitable for both planned maintenance and on-site repair projects.

Ideal for mining, power generation, marine, water, and paper and pulp industries, Resimac 209 EIP PU extends equipment service life, reduces maintenance frequency, and improves operational reliability. Its 100% solvent-free formulation also delivers a safer, environmentally responsible solution without compromising performance.

When reliability matters, choose Resimac 209 EIP PU to protect your critical assets, minimise downtime, and keep your operations running efficiently for longer.

Sustainability Through Durability.

Protecting assets is not just about cost control, it is also about reducing environmental waste. Each time a pump housing or pipeline is repaired rather than replaced, the carbon footprint of your operation decreases. Resimac’s ceramic epoxy systems contribute to sustainable maintenance practices, reducing the frequency of component replacement and conserving valuable resources. By extending asset life, you’re also extending environmental responsibility, proof that industrial performance and sustainability can coexist.
