Vitcas Ceramic Fibre Rigidiser- a silicate compound. The rigidiser is used for coating the surfaces of ceramic fibre materials. These include the ones used in ceramic kilns, forges and those exposed to high velocity gases. The product acts as a hardener and sealant for these different ceramic fibre surfaces.
Vitcas® Ceramic Fibre Rigidiser is a silicate-based compound designed to treat ceramic fibre products such as blankets, modules, boards, and vacuum-formed components. It forms a hard outer shell, offering surface protection and sealing against erosion, especially in high-velocity environments. Ceramic Fibre Rigidizer is temperature resistant up to 1000°C (1832°F)
Applications:
Surface Coating: Protects ceramic fibre materials exposed to high-velocity gases.
Hardening Coat: Reinforces ceramic fibres used in forges.
Sealing Coat: Prevents fibre shedding in ceramic kilns, ensuring cleaner work environments.
Surface Hardener: Enhances durability of vacuum-formed ceramic fibre shapes.
Installation:
Can be applied by brushing, dipping, rolling, or spraying.
Ensure the ceramic fibre surface is clean and free of grease and oil before application.
The rigidiser penetrates the surface and dries within 30 minutes.
Alternative Product Recommendation:
For high-performance applications requiring extreme heat resistance, VITCAS Zircon Paint Refractory Coating is highly recommended. Withstanding temperatures up to 1750°C (3182°F), it is ideal for kilns, furnaces, and industrial heat processing. This coating offers superior protection against thermal shock, abrasion, and chemical attack, ensuring long-lasting durability in the most demanding conditions.
