Line X for Pumps?

Anyone ever heard of applying line X to any part of a pump? They can even color match it now. Wondering if the product would shed or clean eaiser than paint or metel. I think it has some Kevlar in it. I know mud comes off smooth rubber pretty well... just curious as to any thoughts about it. Wouldn't it be great to have a pump that could be kept clean and looking good for years without tarps, wax, willie shield, form oil, etc. with little effort?

That stuff is the same as rhino liner and hippo liner. It would be a lot easier to clean off the cement. you can spray that all around your hoppers, just no shine to it.

We have had it sprayed on some hose storage areas on our city pumps (truck mounted line pump). Keeps the paint from getting all banged up. A little harder to keep clean. Better traction for walking around on deck.

Does it get slippery with oil on it?

Those aluminum decks are death when oily.

Every water tank should be lined with that stuff........... from the factory.

I used it for traction areas on a placing boom (detatch) around the turret & on the compression side of the 2nd section boompipe. Where you stand to hook up rigging. Worked great on those icey mornings landing a boom on the 40th floor, Less white nuckle'n
