LK Binder
When powders are added to this binder liquid, a water-insoluble coating results. Coatings produced by addition of powders to this binder liquid have moderately good hardness on drying and have high water-resistance, being nearly completely water-insoluble on thorough drying. Outgassing is minimal and essentially complete by a temperature of 150 C. The binder has a moderate ability to suspend solids and generally produces medium viscosity coatings with most refractory powders. The binder liquid has a long shelf life [>12 months]. A lithium-potassium silicate results for the high-temperature binding, allowing LK Binder to be used in all atmospheres to about 800 C or somewhat higher depending on interactions with the added powder material.
