Flake Lining
Flake lining is one of the industrial coating systems and is generally used to provide chemical resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Flake lining is generally a polymer-based type of coating and refers to a matrix containing thin flakes or plates. These flakes or sheets make the coating more durable and resistant.
Scope of Application
Flake lining is widely preferred in various equipment and structural components used especially in the chemical, petrochemical, energy, food and beverage industries. However, it is important to properly prepare the surface prior to application and carefully follow the instructions specified by the manufacturer.
Chemical Resistance
Flake lining provides resistance to chemical attack. It is especially preferred for storage tanks, pipelines and industrial equipment that may be exposed to aggressive chemicals.
Wear Resistance
Flake lining provides resistance to abrasion, which is especially important on surfaces subject to the effects of friction and wear.
Corrosion Resistance
Flake lining helps protect metal surfaces against corrosion. This feature is especially important when used in industrial facilities exposed to harsh conditions.
Ease of Application
Flake lining application is generally relatively simple. Coating material in liquid form can generally be applied by spraying or brush.
Flexibility
Flake lining can often be applied to a range of different surfaces and offer a flexible coating solution.
High Temperature Resistance
Some types of flake lining can withstand high temperature conditions, which can be advantageous in industrial applications.
Food Industry Compliance
Some types of flake lining are designed to suit specific applications such as the food industry.
