Agricultural Seeder Tank Protection

Seeding is arguably the most important activity in grain production. In broadacre farming, the increase in productivity appreciated from an air delivery system to distribute seed and fertilizer from a central storage tank to the seed drill opener has revolutionized farming practices. The storage tanks are configured to deliver as per application use. However, due to the corrosive nature of liquid fertilizers like Urea in the holding tanks, a solution was required to protect the inner lining of the tanks further, extending the productive life and minimizing future maintenance issues. LINE-X XS-350 was selected due to its high chemical resistance. The agricultural equipment is manufactured in different locations around the world and assembled in the country of use. LINE-X XS-350 was sprayed on all the

Gas Pipe Bellows: Increasing The Lifespan With LINE-X Polyurea

When it comes to the transfer of sulfur dioxide (SO2) gases to an acid plant, you need to ensure you have the best solution for protecting the pipeline. Industrial bellows are installed in pipes to prevent damage caused by thermal growth vibrations and pressure thrust. However, these bellows can be exposed to abrasives and liquids- risking corrosion that can lead to a burst pipeline and gas leak. Corrosion of the bellow can happen for numerous reasons: pitting corrosion, galvanic corrosion and crevice corrosion to just name a few. Whatever the cause of the corrosion, a solution is needed to prevent a burst pipeline and gas leakage. LINE-X XS-350 Pure Polyurea Increases The Lifespan of The Gas Pipe Bellows. XS-350, a pure polyurea by LINE-X, has

How To Protect Steel Pallets From Battery Acid

Industrial-grade batteries are stored and transported on specialized steel pallets. Steel offers more durability and strength than typical wood or plastic pallets. As a material, steel is better suited to store flammable liquids – it won’t melt or burn in the case of a fire – and boasts a high load rating. However, if a battery becomes damaged during transport, it could potentially leak battery acid. Battery acid contains sulfuric acid, which is highly corrosive and causes significant damage to the steel pallet. Battery acid leakage is a common issue within the mining sector. In Rustenburg, South Africa, the mining industry required a solution to prevent the steel pallets from corrosive damage caused by battery acid. The Solution to protect the steel from battery acid

Corrosion Resistant Coatings For Smart Parking Meters

Corrosion resistant coatings, by LINE-X, are being utilised in Italy for smart parking meters. Smart parking machines are becoming the standard in large and medium-sized cities. It’s an economical choice as one meter can be used for multiple spaces and smart machines can accept payment by credit/debit card, cash, coins, app or tokens. In many cases, smart parking machines are positioned outside or under an awning for protection from weather elements. However, even protection under an awning is not enough to completely prevent corrosion. Parking machines, and the complex technology inside them, are exposed to extreme temperatures, rain, snow, dust, sea air, fine particulates, debris as well as human and animal interaction that can cause abrasion or deterioration. A city council in Italy sought a

ANTI-CORROSIVE COATINGS FOR ANY SURFACE - LINE-X

Anti-corrosive Coatings For Any Surface

Corrosion is one of the most severe problems in the construction and industrial industries. Corrosion can represent high maintenance costs, as well as endangering the integrity of the substrate. The corrosion process damages metal structures, especially those exposed to the weather, humidity, chemicals, among other elements. The best option to protect metal structures is to apply an anti-corrosive coating to exposed surfaces. An anti-corrosive coating is a layer that protects any surface where it is applied. Traditional coatings, such as industrial paints, are not entirely resistant to corrosion, but polyureas, such as LINE-X, resist corrosion and offer better benefits. How Does LINE-X Prevent Corrosion? LINE-X is an easy-to-apply anti-corrosive coating with which different types of surfaces can be protected. This polyurea coating is spray-applied, drying in

What is galvanic corrosion and how to prevent it

In industrial and construction environments, it is necessary to take into account that materials exposed to physical and chemical processes can alter their condition and compromise their operation. Galvanic corrosion is one of these chemical processes that damage metal parts and can put entire structures at risk if not treated properly. Galvanic corrosion is a chemical process that occurs when two pieces of metal are joined, and a current flows through an electrolyte, such as water or moisture, causing ions to flow through metal (which functions as an anode) towards the other (which functions as a cathode). This process means that galvanic corrosion affects the metal in the joint. A typical example of galvanic corrosion occurs in joints where there are screws and nuts, as
