CeRam-Kote General Industry Applications

 

Problem:

The customer used a grain truck for hauling salt daily. The salt would form sodium hydroxide which would corrode the interior of the aluminum trailer, especially where it caked up on the rivets. The salt would not release easily, especially in the hopper area.

 

Solution:

CeRam-Kote 54®’s high surface lubricity provides a slick surface release characteristic that prevents the buildup of hygroscopic dry cargoes that “clump up” in the presence of moisture.

CeRam-Kote 54® was applied to the interior of the aluminum hopper trailer. After more than one year of service, the owner reported that the salt has not damaged the CeRam-Kote 54® or caused corrosion of any of the aluminum substrate it is protecting. He said the salt still cakes up on the rivets, but it is easily washed off with water. He has been very satisfied with the performance of CeRam-Kote 54®.
