A water-based, ceramic coating formulated to protect stainless, low alloy, & carbon grade steels against oxide scale, oxidation, and decarburization.

Performance Characteristics:

·         effective temp. range 1000-2300⁰ F (538-1260⁰ C)

·         reduces surface defects such as forged or rolled-in scale

·         reduces secondary finishing operations

·         spalls on cooling to leave oxide scale-free surface

·         demonstrates exceptional green strength upon proper drying to withstand cracking, chipping, peeling, etc.

·         excellent paintability; formulated for brushing application (can be adjusted for dipping or spraying by diluting with water – do not thin coating too much)

·         desirable heat retention properties for improved hot working operations

Recommendations for Use:

·         thoroughly suspend and mix before use

·         metal surfaces must be free of dirt, oil, grease, metal oxides, and other materials

·         coating thickness depends on the time and temperature of exposure (generally, the higher the temperature and longer exposure, the thicker the coating should be applied)

·         a wet film thickness of 6 ± 3 mils should be optimal

·         ensure bottom coat is thoroughly dried when applying multiple coats

·         water-based coatings need ample time to completely dry before entering furnace (can be applied over preheated substrate to accelerate drying time)
