Product Name
DEVCON Flexane High-performance Brushable urethane coating - 1 lb
Brief Description
DEVCON Flexane High-performance Brushable urethane coating is a tough, rubber-like, two-component urethane compound designed for making a broad range of repairs and providing protection against wear, abrasion, and noise reduction. It cures at room temperature to a medium-hard rubber (Shore A 86) and can be applied in thicknesses up to 50 mils in one pass.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Protecting equipment surfaces from wear and abrasion.- Lining chutes, hoppers, pump volutes, impellers, and fan housings.- Belt and rubber repair.- Encapsulating wire and electronics subject to impact, vibration, expansion, and contraction.- Forming flexible molds and non-scratching holding fixtures/linings.- Pipe encapsulation.- Concrete control joints.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- General Manufacturing- Energy (e.g., petrochemical holding tanks, coal plant exhaust flues)- Metal Fabrication- Concrete- Construction/ Building Services- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services- Mold Making/ Casting- Electrical Services or Products / LED/Electronics- Plastic Fabrication (for fiberglass and rigid plastics)- Government & Military (NSN listed)- Chemical Industry- Pool/Spa/Plumbing- Marine

Comparison Note
DEVCON Flexane High-performance Brushable urethane coating stands out as a specialized, high-performance solution for industrial wear, abrasion, and impact protection, offering a tough, rubber-like cure and excellent tear resistance. While other urethane and epoxy coatings exist for general protection or mold making, Flexane Brushable is specifically formulated for brush application in repair and lining scenarios where a durable, flexible, and noise-reducing layer is required, often in demanding industrial environments. Its ability to bond to a wide range of substrates with appropriate primers and its specific Shore A hardness make it a tailored choice for heavy-duty maintenance and protection.
