Devcon 11490 Wear Guard High-alumina, High Load Epoxy 30 lb Container

Product Name

Devcon 11490 Wear Guard High-alumina, High Load Epoxy 30 lb Container

Brief Description

Devcon 11490 Wear Guard High-Load is a two-part, high-alumina, ceramic bead-filled epoxy system engineered to provide outstanding abrasion, impact, and chemical resistance to processing equipment in severe service conditions. It is a trowelable putty designed for repairing and protecting industrial machinery components.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Repairing and protecting scrubbers- Ash handling systems- Pipe elbows and screens- Chutes, bins, hoppers, and bunkers- Recontouring chippers, separators, and diester tables- Protecting exhausters, launderers, housing fans, crushers, and breakers- Protecting parts from coarse particle abrasion or erosion- Extending the lifespan of processing equipment under harsh conditions

Industries that Commonly Use It

- General Manufacturing- Energy (e.g., power generation, ash handling systems)- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services (e.g., pipe protection, chemical resistance)- Chemical Industry (e.g., scrubbers, chemical resistance)- Metal Fabrication (for repair and protection of metal components)- Construction/ Building Services (for heavy-duty wear protection on various surfaces, including concrete in some applications)- Industrial Supply (as an MRO product)- Distributers & Resellers

Special and Unique Features

- High-alumina, ceramic bead-filled system for superior wear resistance- Handles particulate greater than 1/8 inch (3.2 mm)- Trowels onto overhead or vertical surfaces without sagging- Exceptional resistance to a wide range of acids, bases, saturated salt solutions, oils, and many other chemicals

Surface Compatibility

- Metals (e.g., steel, cast iron, cast aluminum)- Fiberglass- Concrete (as a general epoxy application, with proper surface preparation)- Other substrates where abrasion and chemical resistance are needed

Known backups / known substitutes

- Devcon Wear Guard High Impact (for applications requiring higher impact resistance)- Devcon Brushable Ceramic (can be used as a primer or for brushable ceramic protection)- Other alumina ceramic-filled epoxy wear compounds from various manufacturers

Comparison Note

Devcon 11490 Wear Guard High-Load is specifically formulated for severe abrasion conditions involving larger particulate sizes (greater than 1/8 inch), distinguishing it from other Devcon Wear Guard products like "Ultra Fine Load" (for finer particles) or "High Impact" (for applications with significant impact forces).
