Vitcas Zircon Paint Coating is supplied as a dry powder to be mixed with water. The zircon paint coating is resistant to temperatures up to 1750oC / 3182°F. It can be used in many industrial applications including in the aluminium industry, in alumina-silicate monolithic linings.
Zircon Paint Coating is a high-performance coating that can withstand temperatures up to 1750°C /3182°F. It is specifically designed for use on warm refractories and offers excellent alkali resistance, non-wetting properties, and reduces the build-up of corundum.
Instructions:
Mixing: The powder needs to be mixed with water at the rate of 300ml of water per kilo of powder. Preferably, mix using a mixing paddle.
Application: Zircon Paint Coating can be applied by brush or by spray. It is recommended to apply the coating onto a warm refractory surface for best results.
Characteristics:
High-temperature resistance up to 1750°C /3182°F.
Excellent alkali resistance.
Non-wetting properties, which prevent molten aluminum alloys from adhering to the surface.
Reduces the build-up of corundum, which prolongs the life of refractory linings.
Applications:
Aluminum industry: Zircon Paint Coating can be used on ladles, furnaces, and launders that handle molten aluminum alloys.
Refractory linings: Zircon Paint Coating can be applied to alumina-silicate monolithic linings and refractory bricks to protect against high temperatures and alkalis.
Molten glass: The coating can be used on surfaces that come into contact with molten glass.
Metal slags: Zircon Paint Coating is also suitable for use in contact with metal slags.
Sealing ceramic fiber linings: The coating can be used to seal ceramic fiber linings and prevent the release of ceramic fibers into the workplace.
