Pulvawear™ is a wear-resistant coating designed specifically for use in coal pulverizing mills. When applied to classifier cones, mill walls, and other internal components, the composition of dense alumina spheres and micro ceramic powder in a ballistic grade aramid fiber reinforced epoxy matrix provides exceptional service life. Typical coal mill operating temperatures optimize the protective properties of Pulvawear™. Hudco Pulvawear™ has a service life in coal pulverizers that typically exceeds 5 years. Pulvawear™ comes in a complete kit with mixing and application tools.
