Wearing compounds are polymer composites that combines superior wear resistant given by abrasive ceramic fillers, with high adhesion provided by epoxy technology. A new wear resistant compound, Loctite PC 9593, was successfully developed and launched recently to protect and extend service life of high wear and impact areas of processing equipment in mining and steel plant applications, such as chutes, screens, hoppers and centrifuges, against severe wear and impact. Loctite PC 9593 is a room temperature curable two-part alumina bead and silicon carbide filled epoxy product. Loctite PC 9593 abrasion resistance was measured by dry abrasion test, 2 body abrasion test and gas jet erosion at different conditions. The abrasion resistant results are compared and discussed with both high impact resistance wearing compound and fast cure wearing compound. This paper will present product development concept, product description and performances.
