Ketone resins: uses and applications
Ketone resins are organic compounds that have ketone functional groups in their molecular structure. These resins can be used in many applications including:
- Adhesives: commonly used as adhesives for wood, plastic, metals, and other materials. They are used for their adhesive strength, tensile strength, and corrosion resistance.
- Coatings: can be used as protective coatings on metal and wood surfaces. Coatings can protect against corrosion, abrasion, and other damage.
- Composites: are often used as polymerization matrices for carbon fiber or glass fiber reinforced composites (loaded resins). These composite materials are known for their high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance.
- Reinforced plastics: are also used in the production of fiber-reinforced plastics to produce lightweight and high-strength products such as automotive and aircraft parts.
- Paints: Ketonic resin-based paints can provide a durable finish resistance to weathering.
Generally, ketone resins are used where strength, durability, and chemical resistance are required.
Varisco pumps for ketone resins
A leading company active in the production of ketone resins has implemented Varisco internal gear and self-priming centrifugal pumps to transfer the chemical components used in the process.
The V Varisco series is used to pump clean and viscous fluids where a delicate treatment of the product is required, preventing any chemical or physical alterations. Volumetric rotary, they ensure flow rates proportional to the rotation speed and constant pulse-free flows, regardless of the back pressure.
The J series, self-priming centrifugal pumps, are used in these sectors to wash lines with the presence of abrasive residues from processing.
