IC BONDAdhesives and fixing systems for ceramic wear linings

A ceramic lining is a system: tile, adhesive, substrate and joint design work together. Bond failure often begins with contamination, insufficient surface profile, condensation, incorrect mix ratio, poor coverage or movement at an unsupported edge. The installation procedure should therefore define cleaning and surface preparation, environmental limits, mixing, open time, adhesive thickness, tile bedding, joint treatment and inspection before the equipment returns to service.

Temperature resistance cannot be inferred from the word “high-temperature.” The continuous and peak temperatures, thermal cycling, immersion, chemicals, moisture during application and required return-to-service time must be checked against a named product data sheet. Where consequences of detachment are high, combine the qualified adhesive with weldable or mechanical retention and document pull-off or other agreed quality checks on a representative area.
