SolarShell UV curing laminate makes an ideal patch for repairing broken or cracked bumpers. SolarShell products are easy to work with and cure much quicker (15 minutes) than standard fiberglass and resin applications – saving hours of time and labor.
The repair below was performed by the owner of the RV who had no previous experience in any body repair work or with SolarShell products.
The total labor time on this repair was less than 3 hours.
The waste water treatment industry finds innumerable uses for SolarShell including lining steel sewage tanks for corrosion protection against sewage waste.
In this example the water treatment plant wanted to protect a new tank before it went into use at the treatment facility.
The entire inside of the tank was sandblasted and primed with SolarRes. SolarShell was then applied over the primer and seams coated with SolarRes.
The water treatment plant enjoyed a quick turnaround (SolarShell cures in around 15 minutes or less), easy application that required no special tools or equipment, a seamless system, and full mechanical and chemical resistance. [Read more...]
The Petrochemical industry has found many uses for SolarShell including protecting containment areas from chemical spillages.
This secondary concrete containment area has been coated with SolarShell to shield against potential chemical attacks.
After the neutralization and sand blasting the concrete containment area, the detail areas were strip coated with SolarRes and SolarShell. The remaining area was covered and overlapped with SolarShell, then exposed to artificial UV lighting.
The petrochemical company gained full protection from a seamless system that is mechanical and chemical resistant through the easy application and a quick turnaround time of SolarShell. [Read more...]
SolarShell has provided many benefits to the Oil and Gas industry. One example is protecting pipelines from corrosion.
SolarShell has been applied to the outer layer of the pipeline prior to installation and burial of the pipeline.
The application began with sand blasting and priming the pipeline with SolarRes. After shielding the work area from the sunlight, SolarShell was applied by hand and overlapped for a seamless system.
The quick turnaround and ease of application coupled with full protection of a seamless system and great mechanical and chemical resistance makes SolarShell a perfect solution for the Oil and Gas companies. [Read more...]
The pharmaceutical industry has found SolarShell functions well for many of their applications
In this example, SolarShell was used as insulation for piping and valve boxes.
The laminate was cut to specific dimensions and applied and overlapped creating a seamless system. It was then exposed to artificial UV light for 15-20 minutes to cure.
SolarShell provides full mechanical, chemical, and corrosion protection and has a easy application and quick turnaround time. [Read more...]
Water storage tanks have be protected with SolarShell from corrosion of tank walls that deteriorates and perforates the wall.
SolarShell has been used to patch perforation points and as a full system that shields the walls from corrosive elements.
Once the tanks has been sand blasted and the perforations patched, a coat of SolarRes primer was applied. SolarShell was then added to the tanks wall and topped with a coat of SolarGel.
Along with corrosive protection, benefits of SolarShell include quick turnaround time, ease of application, a seamless system and excellent weather and mechanical resistance. [Read more...]
Off shore oil and gas companies have used SolarShell along their jetty legs in splash zones to protect against corrosion.
SolarShell applied to the outside of jetty legs protects against the loss of wall thickness caused by corrosion.
The installation began with sand blasting priming the jetty legs with SolarRes. SolarShell was then applied and topped with an additional coat of SolarRes
SolarShell has weather, mechanical, and corrosive protecting properties. It also provides an easy application process and fast turnaround times. [Read more...]
A leading oil and gas company required a .6 mile long pre-coated pipeline to be dragged under a highway and a canal. The first attempt was made with a standard painted-on coating and resulted in substantial damage to the coating. SolarShell was then applied, and the pipe was dragged under highway and canal with no damage.
SolarShell laminate with no primer was used in this application. SolarShell was applied in the factory and the pipe welded together in the field. Weld joints were then protected with SolarShell in the field.
The customer enjoyed the benefits of an easy application that required no mixing, heating or special equipment to apply. The rapid curing and hand application created quick turnaround on this project. Reinforced seams and seamless overlaps provide full mechanical protection to the pipeline. [Read more...]
We wanted to find out just what kind of internal pressure SolarShell can take – so we put it to the test. In this video:
The City of Watertown, WI’s waste water treatment plant has been battling with leaking gutter seams since 2003 when their building was built.
Several other methods of repair have been tried and have failed. SolarShell was applied and has been the only lasting and effective solution.
The Water Systems Manager is now using SolarShell for other applications in his plant as well as the gutter repair.
