Extending Equipment Life with DB_90C Upcycled Ceramic Coating

Industrial equipment operating in abrasive or erosive environments faces constant wear, leading to frequent repairs and downtime. At HIH Technologies, we are addressing this challenge with DB_90C Upcycled Ceramic Coating, a solution designed to enhance wear resistance, reduce erosion and corrosion, and support sustainable operations.

Understanding DB_90C Technology

DB_90C is an upcycled ceramic coating made from repurposed materials that would otherwise be discarded. By turning waste into a high-performance coating, DB_90C delivers both operational and environmental benefits.

Key features of the coating include:

Minimal heat input during application, protecting the integrity of the base material
No thermal stress, reducing the risk of substrate deformation
A mechanical locking mechanism that reduces shear failure between coating and substrate
The ability to perform multiple recoats after the initial repair

These features make DB_90C particularly effective in applications where traditional coatings fail due to high abrasion or impact.

Real-World Performance

In the drilling industry, customers pumping abrasive drilling fluids have reported up to 10 times longer service life using DB_90C. The recoat-and-repeat capability allows equipment to be maintained efficiently without extensive downtime or replacement.

Choosing the Right Grade

DB_90C is available in multiple grades to match operating conditions:

DB_90C (Fine): Optimized for fine abrasive media such as drilling fluids
DB_90C (Medium / Coarse): Suitable for general abrasive handling
DB_90C (Coarse Spherical): Designed for high-impact wear, including forestry applications such as bark handling in chutes and elbows

By selecting the appropriate grade, operators can optimize performance for specific wear conditions and extend the lifespan of critical equipment.

Conclusion

DB_90C Upcycled Ceramic Coating demonstrates how innovative material solutions can improve industrial efficiency while supporting sustainability goals. Whether facing erosion, impact, or extreme flow rates, DB_90C provides a durable, reliable, and environmentally responsible solution.
