SARCER & SARMOS
High-resistance wear-resistant ceramic coatings for industrial plants
SARCER is obtained through controlled sintering of atomised Alpha-Alumina powder: the result of the process is a perfectly dense and compact product with extreme hardness, second only to diamond. SARCER is the product with the highest performance against wear.
The refinement of production techniques has allowed for the creation of small-sized pieces, without altering their structural and technical characteristics, suitable for obtaining mosaic panels: SARMOS. This product combines ease of installation with effective protection: excellent surface coverage, reduced installation time, thickness, and weight.
SARCER & SARMOS provides the following product characteristics:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Surface Preparation
Surface preparation is important for the long-term performance of the product. The parameters can vary depending on the severity of the application, expected service life, and initial conditions of the substrates to be treated.
- Remove any dirt, oil, grease etc. with a suitable detergent.
- Any irregularities, weld splashes or residue, and any other surface roughness must be levelled and ground smooth; any depressions or porosity must be filled and ground smooth.
- Blast the entire surface to be treated with angular grit until you achieve roughness of 50-70 microns, and near-white metal blast cleaning level (SIS SA 2½ /SSPC-SP 10). For immersion applications, a white metal blast cleaning (SIS SA 3/SSPC-SP 5) level is required.
- After abrasive blasting, the metal surface must be cleaned with a cleaner which does not leave residue, or with a solvent, to remove any dust and contaminants; clean, dry compressed air can also be used. The surface must be coated before any new oxidation occurs.
SARCER
SARCER is the anti-wear ceramic coating developed by SARO through controlled sintering of atomised alpha-alumina powder. The special production process allows the creation of a material that is:
- perfectly compact and dense
- extremely hard
- highly resistant to abrasion and erosion
- among the highest-performing wear-resistant materials available for industrial use
SARCER's hardness, second only to diamond, makes it particularly suitable for applications with high mechanical stress and continuous heavy wear. Another distinctive feature is its high chemical inertness, which ensures resistance in most aggressive industrial environments. SARCER is used for:
- abrasion-resistant linings
- wear-resistant technical components
- pneumatic pipes and bends
- cyclones and separators
- hoppers and material impact points
- pneumatic and mechanical conveying systems
SARMOS
The evolution of SARO production technologies has enabled the development of SARMOS, a mosaic solution obtained while maintaining the unchanged technical and structural performance of SARCER. The modular mosaic structure allows for:
- greater geometric adaptability
- quick and easy installation
- effective lining of complex surfaces
- reduced weight and thickness
- optimised application costs
SARMOS technology also allows the lining of:
- non-standard pipes and bends
- surfaces with complex geometries
The mosaic structure also offers an important operational advantage: any impacts or damage remain localised to the individual plates involved, limiting the extent of the damaged area and facilitating maintenance interventions.
