A.W. Chesterton Company ARC MX FG food-grade industrial coating

A.W. Chesterton Company has added the ARC MX FG food-grade coating to its range of ARC Industrial Coatings. The coating is designed to protect machinery and tanks exposed to wet and dry fine particle/abrasive slurries in food processing and other industrial applications.

ARC MX FG is a two-part, 100% solids, no-VOC system suitable for equipment involved in direct food contact such as chutes and hoppers, mixers and agitators, transport screws/augers and pumps. It can also be used in a wide range of other industries, including mining and ore processing, wastewater, specialty chemical, and pulp and paper. The coating is a trowel-applied ceramic-reinforced epoxy that provides protection over rubber linings and ceramic tile for fine particle wear.
