Product Name
DEVCON 14289 Straight Ceramic Spray Nozzle
Brief Description
The DEVCON 14289 Straight Ceramic Spray Nozzle is a specialized mixing and spray delivery nozzle designed for the precise application of Devcon EZ Spray Ceramic, a high-performance, ceramic-filled epoxy. This nozzle facilitates the efficient and thorough mixing of the two-part epoxy and ensures controlled spray delivery for sealing, protecting, and repairing surfaces subject to erosion, corrosion, and wear.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Applying ceramic-filled epoxy coatings for erosion and corrosion protection.- Repairing and rebuilding worn or damaged industrial equipment and surfaces.- High-temperature spraying applications.- Spraying abrasive liquids or slurries.- Applying coatings in environments with corrosive chemicals, including acids, solvents, and caustics.- Surface preparation and coating for enhanced durability.- Dust suppression and cleaning in demanding industrial settings.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Aerospace/Defense - for high-temperature spraying and wear-resistant coatings.- Chemical Industry - for handling and spraying corrosive chemical media.- Construction/Building Services - for protective coatings and repairs on heavy equipment and structures.- Energy - for equipment protection in high-temperature and corrosive environments.- General Manufacturing - for maintenance, repair, and protective coating of machinery and components.- Metal Fabrication - for surface preparation and applying protective coatings to fabricated parts.- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services - for applications involving highly corrosive chemical media.
Special and Unique Features
- Specifically designed for use with Devcon EZ Spray Ceramic, ensuring optimal mixing and application.- Made from ceramic material, offering superior wear resistance compared to traditional metal nozzles.- Excellent chemical compatibility, resisting a broad spectrum of corrosive substances.- High-temperature tolerance, suitable for hot liquids and high-temperature environments.- Maintains precise spray patterns and orifice size over a long lifespan due to ceramic hardness.- Reduces operating costs by providing greater longevity and consistent flow/spray quality.
Key Properties
- Material: Ceramic- Function: Mixing and spray delivery- Compatibility: Designed for Devcon EZ Spray Ceramic- Resistance: High wear, corrosion, and temperature resistance- Durability: Enhanced toughness and abrasion resistance
Surface Compatibility
This nozzle is used to apply ceramic-filled epoxy to various substrates, including:- Metal surfaces (steel, aluminum, etc.)- Other surfaces requiring protection against erosion, corrosion, and wear.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Metal spray nozzles (less wear and chemical resistance).- Other types of mixing nozzles for two-part epoxies.- Manual application methods for ceramic-filled epoxies (e.g., troweling, brushing), though less efficient for spray applications.
Comparison Note
Compared to traditional metal nozzles, ceramic spray nozzles like the DEVCON 14289 offer significantly higher wear resistance, chemical compatibility, and temperature tolerance, making them ideal for harsh industrial environments involving abrasive liquids, corrosive chemicals, or high temperatures. While ceramic nozzles typically have a higher upfront cost and can be more brittle, their extended lifespan and ability to maintain precise spray patterns often result in lower long-term operating costs and superior performance in demanding applications.
