LININGS
TVL can provide the industry with an array of lining and protective coatings to preserve and protect your investment, maximising the life expectancy of the product, not only do linings and coatings preserve that can also improve performance, positively impacting flow rate capabilities and minimising friction losses. Many industries process chemicals, abrasives and raw effluents which can adversely affect the integrity of the substrate leading to premature erosion. TVL can provide linings to protect the valve product and the transported medium with an array of vulcanised linings from Natural rubber, Ebonite, Butyl, Neoprene, Nitrile, Viton Hypalon, EPDM, including WRAS approved EPDM and PTFE.
Linings generally have a thickness range from 3 mm to 6 mm which encapsulates the internals and the flange ends of the valve.
COATINGS
High performance coatings are essential when processing aggressive active chemicals at elevated temperatures, protecting the valve product, the medium and the environment. High performance coatings also preserve all manners of metallic substrates and not just the valve body but also valve accessories such as cylinders. With excellent resistance to impact, UV, saline atmospheres and mild abrasives they are extremely versatile fluoropolymer coatings. TVL can provide high performance coatings to protect your investment from the most arduous of applications and environments. Such diverse coatings range from 100 -750 microns in thickness depending upon the application and are available as HALAR, ECTFE, ETFE, PFA, TEFLON, XYLAN and HPE (high performance epoxies) that meet NORSK standards amongst others.
Linings and coatings can be supplied as part of a new supply or part of a refurbishment program, including strip and reline where necessary and in some instances, on-site. TVL can help you with your process specification and subsequent selection.
