Vitcas Zircon Refractory Paint Coating is supplied as a dry powder that is mixed with water. This zircon-based coating is resistant to temperatures up to 1750°C / 3182°F and is suitable for various industrial applications, including use in the aluminium industry and on alumina-silicate monolithic linings.
Zircon Refractory Paint Coating is a high-performance, water-activated powder refractory coating engineered to withstand extreme temperatures up to 1750°C / 3182°F. Designed for application on warm refractory surfaces, it offers superior alkali resistance, non-wetting properties, and helps reduce the formation of corundum, thereby extending the life of refractory linings in high-temperature industrial applications.
Key Characteristics:
High-Temperature Resistance: Withstands temperatures up to 1750°C / 3182°F, making it suitable for extreme thermal environments.
Alkali Resistance: Provides excellent protection against alkaline substances, increasing the durability of refractory materials.
Non-Wetting Properties: Prevents molten aluminium alloys from adhering to the surface, reducing damage and contamination.
Corundum Reduction: Minimises the build-up of corundum, which prolongs the life of refractory linings and reduces maintenance.
Applications:
Aluminium Industry: Ideal for use on ladles, furnaces, and launders handling molten aluminium alloys, providing protection and increasing operational efficiency.
Refractory Linings: Suitable for applying on alumina-silicate monolithic linings and refractory bricks, offering enhanced resistance to high temperatures and alkalis.
Molten Glass: Can be applied to surfaces in contact with molten glass, protecting the material from damage caused by high heat and reactive substances.
Metal Slags: Effective for use in areas exposed to metal slags, providing a protective layer that enhances the lifespan of the refractory surface.
Sealing Ceramic Fibre Linings: Seals ceramic fibre linings, preventing the release of fibres into the workplace, contributing to a safer environment.
Instructions for Use:
Mixing: Combine the powder with water at a ratio of 300ml of water per kilogram of powder. For best results, use a mixing paddle to ensure thorough blending.
Application: Apply the Zircon Paint Coating by brush or spray. For optimal performance, it is recommended to apply the coating to a warm refractory surface.
