Product Name
DEVCON 14279 90 Degree Spray Nozzle for Ceramic-filled Epoxy
Brief Description
The DEVCON 14279 90 Degree Spray Nozzle is a specialized accessory designed for the efficient and thorough mixing and application of Devcon EZ-Spray Ceramic-filled epoxy systems. This nozzle ensures that the two-part epoxy components are automatically and precisely mixed in a 3:1 ratio as they are dispensed, allowing for a consistent and effective spray application of the ceramic-filled material onto various surfaces.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Protecting surfaces against dry fine particle erosion and wet slurry abrasion- Restoring worn equipment to near original condition- Coating surfaces subject to high stresses in industrial environments- Repair and protection of process equipment in highly abrasive or high fluid-flow applications- Lining for pumping systems, valves, scrubber units, heat exchangers, and process vessels- Protecting internal pipework, fans, and fan casings from erosion, corrosion, and chemical attack- Repairing severe pitting in steel and spalling/cracks in concrete floors and walls- Protecting tanks, bunds, and secondary containment areas from chemical attack- Applications in wastewater facilities and water treatment plants- Protecting equipment against tremendous impact and flex in chutes, hoppers, and screw conveyers
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Chemical Industry (for chemical resistance and process equipment protection)- Construction/Building Services (for concrete repair and protective coatings)- Energy (for power generation equipment, oil & gas applications)- Engineering Services (for specialized repair and coating projects)- General Manufacturing (for equipment maintenance and wear protection)- Government & Military (for robust repair and protection of assets)- Industrial Supply (as a key component for industrial maintenance, repair, and operations - MRO)- Marine (for protection against saltwater and corrosive environments)- Metal Fabrication (for coating and repairing metal components)- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services (for oil & gas equipment protection)- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle (for wear and corrosion protection of components)
Special and Unique Features
- **Automatic Mixing:** The nozzle ensures thorough and consistent mixing of the two-part ceramic-filled epoxy components during application.- **90-Degree Spray Angle:** Facilitates application in specific or hard-to-reach areas, optimizing coverage and efficiency.- **Optimized for Ceramic-filled Epoxy:** Specifically designed for use with Devcon EZ-Spray Ceramic-filled epoxy, ensuring proper dispensing of this high-performance material.- **Enhanced Protection:** When used with ceramic-filled epoxy, it delivers superior resistance to abrasion, erosion, cavitation, and chemical attack.- **100% Solids Formulation:** The associated epoxy is often 100% solids, meaning no VOCs or free isocyanates, contributing to reduced health and safety risks.
Key Properties
- **Product Type:** Mixing and spray delivery nozzle- **Mix Ratio:** Designed for 3:1 mix ratio epoxy systems- **Material Dispensed:** Ceramic-filled epoxy (e.g., Devcon EZ-Spray Ceramic-filled epoxy)- **Epoxy Characteristics (general ceramic-filled epoxy):** - Two-part, epoxy-based system - Ceramic-filled for enhanced wear resistance - High abrasion and erosion resistance - Excellent chemical resistance (acids, alkalis, salt water, hydrocarbons) - High adhesive strength - 100% solids by volume (for many formulations) - Temperature resistance (e.g., up to 110°C wet, 205°C dry for some products) - Non-sagging (for some putty forms) - Low permeability
Surface Compatibility
The ceramic-filled epoxy dispensed by this nozzle is compatible with a wide range of rigid substrates, including:- Steel- Iron- Aluminum- Concrete- Fiberglass- Cast Iron- Stainless Steel- Brass- Copper- Wood- Some plastics- Masonry
Known backups / known substitutes
- **Alternative Dispensing Nozzles:** Other static mixer nozzles designed for two-part epoxy systems, though specific 90-degree spray nozzles for ceramic-filled epoxies might be proprietary to Devcon's EZ-Spray system.- **Alternative Application Methods:** For ceramic-filled epoxies, manual application methods such as troweling, brushing, or spreading are common for products that are not specifically formulated for spray application.- **Similar Ceramic Epoxy Products:** Other brands offer ceramic-filled epoxy coatings and repair compounds, such as Chesterton ARC MX2, WEICON WL/Ceramic W, Chemco Ceram-chem™ series, M-CERAMIC 501, CeRam-Kote SPG, and Belzona 5821. These may require different application tools.
Comparison Note
The DEVCON 14279 90 Degree Spray Nozzle significantly enhances the application of ceramic-filled epoxies by providing automated, thorough mixing and a precise spray delivery. This method is particularly advantageous for covering large or complex surfaces quickly and uniformly, ensuring consistent material properties and performance. Compared to manual mixing and application, the spray nozzle reduces labor, minimizes material waste, and improves the overall efficiency and quality of protective coatings, especially in demanding industrial environments where uniform coverage and strong adhesion are critical for long-term equipment protection against severe erosion, abrasion, and chemical attack.
