Why Polyurethane (PUR) in Valve Coatings is a Worthwhile Investment
What is Polyurethane and Why Use It?
Polyurethane (PUR) is an advanced polymer material increasingly chosen as a protective coating in industrial fittings. For gas gate valves, PUR creates a durable barrier against corrosion, aggressive environmental conditions and abrasion. In the AEON range, the PUR layer is available on request: internally epoxy coating 250 µm, externally polyurethane conforming to PN-EN 10290.
Main Benefits of PUR Coating
- Corrosion resistance: PUR effectively protects steel and cast iron against oxidation and degradation.
- Mechanical resistance: The hard, elastic coating withstands impacts and abrasion.
- Longevity: Polyurethane can last decades with minimal maintenance.
- Chemical resistance: The PUR layer inhibits aggressive media, significantly expanding gate valve applications.
- Aesthetics: The dark, colour-stable coating improves appearance and protects the surface.
How to Maintain Gate Valves with PUR Coating?
Regular visual inspection of the coating condition, avoiding mechanical damage and carrying out service inspections will significantly extend service life.
PUR Coating Included as Standard
At AEON-SALE, gas gate valves with PE spigots in the PUR version are available at the standard price – with no surcharge for the additional polyurethane layer. A real saving and an excellent investment in the durability of gas fittings.
