The Problem
Sand filter repair: This steel mill was experiencing leaks in their sand filter and replacement costs were going to run into the millions of dollars. When you consider removal of old sand filters, the price of new sand filters, and installation costs a long-lasting repair is a better option. Knowing that Unconventional Solutions are experts in composite repairs and protection systems they gave us a call.
The Substrate
Metal

The Solution
This particular steel mill had Unconventional Solutions, Inc. partner up with one of their on-site contractors to train, provide technical support and troubleshooting on how to use Resimetal 101 Metal Repair Paste for holes and pitting. Then 2 coats, 1 of Resimetal 202 Ceramic Repair Fluid in blue and 1 of Resimetal 202 Ceramic Repair Fluid in light gray, were applied for abrasion and erosion protection.
Resimetal 202 is often used in 2 coats of different colors, it provides a visual inspection element for if the coating wears down, if you seen the under color showing through you know it’s time to recoat.
This project was so successful that the client had Unconventional Solutions, Inc. do several other filters shortly after the first one was completed.
