WEICON WP serves as protection for highly stressed surfaces. A coating with the epoxy resin system offers high strengths against wear and abrasion and is extremely resistant to chemicals. Plastic Metal WEICON WP prevents metal loss and replaces previously applied wear-resistant alloys, ceramic tiles and rubber linings as well as welded metal coatings. It can be used either for the regeneration of worn metal surfaces or as a wear-resistant coating. A particularly high level of protection is achieved when the wear is caused by particles hitting sideways.
Application
For processing, we recommend an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°C) at less than 85% relative humidity. The highest adhesive strength is achieved when the parts to be processed are heated to >35°C (>95°F) before application. For a thin pre-coat, work WEICON WP intensively into the surface in crosswise layers using the Contour Spatula Flexy to achieve maximum adhesion. By means of this technique, the epoxy resin penetrates well into all cracks and roughness depths. Afterwards, further applications can be carried out straight away, until the desired layer thickness is reached. Make sure that the epoxy resin is applied evenly and without air bubbles. To fill large gaps or holes, expanded metal or other mechanical fixing materials should be used. Finally, the surface can be smoothed easily with the help of a PE film and a rubber roller.
