The AEROSOL products are offered as 13-oz. aerosol spray cans -- making them ideal for experimentation. The Boron Nitride is available in both 13-oz. and 4-oz. sizes, allowing for small-scale studies.
If the expermientation leads to the need for upscaling, then the "bulk" paint may be desired: it can be easily applied by brushing and still the same fast-drying solvent-based coating that is in the aerosol cans. Even air-spraying can be used for application with the "bulk" pain.
Y Aerosol
Yttrium oxide solvent-based, white-colored aerosol spray coatings have the highest thermodynamic stability with a use temperature of nearly 2000 C in most atmospheres. Low thermal conductivity, electrical resistance of over 108 ohm-cm, transparency to microwave energy, superior resistance to aggressive chemical attack at high temperatures and superior thermal stability are characteristics endemic of this coating family. Convenient, easy to use 13-oz. spray can.
