FLEXICLAD DuraTough

Model DP, DL

Elasto-ceramic composite systems that rebuild and protect metal surfaces damaged by cavitation; used on U.S. Navy destroyer rudders since 1995.

Description

FLEXICLAD DuraTough systems are designed and engineered to help protect metal surfaces from the effects of cavitation, the implosion of vapour bubbles that breaks small pieces out of metal surfaces, including stainless steel.

Key features

  • DuraTough DP: trowelable, paste-consistency elasto-ceramic composite for rebuilding areas damaged by severe cavitation
  • DuraTough DL: begins to harden in seconds and cures in minutes, for resurfacing and coating components subject to cavitation

Applications

Rudders, propellers and other fluid flow components subject to cavitation. ENECON states that the U.S. Navy has selected FLEXICLAD DuraTough to protect rudders and other components on its Aegis destroyers (DDGs) since 1995.
