Description A water-based, ceramic coating formulated to protectstainless, low alloy, & carbon grade steels against oxidescale, oxidation, and decarburizationPerformance 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) Shelf Life ~1 year
