CAVITATION RESISTANCE OF POLYAMIDE-11 POWDER COATINGS

摘要

A first application of polyamides in the 1930's was engineering thermoplastics - replacements for metals. (1) Seventy years later, a similar application is discovered for polyamide-11 - cavitation resistant coatings that enable replacement of high-cost metals in demanding water applications. Polyamide-11 powder coatings have exceptional resistance to cavitation erosion - substantially better than other polymer coatings, and even better than stainless steels.
