Recommendation: Boron Nitride LUBRICOAT-BLUE®
Boron Nitride LUBRICOAT® or LUBRICOAT-BLUE® is recommended for this use because of its superior Teflon®-like release properties. For auto-pour ladles, this is the property of most importance. If aluminum skin builds up as it does with traditional coatings, mispours can occur because the shot size is reduced and/or the lip area is obstructed.
Coating Maintenance Guide
BN LUBRICOAT-BLUE® is excellent for casting tables used in Wagstaff Billet Casters. BN LUBRICOAT-BLUE® is an easy-to-see blue color that provides Teflon®-like release that is so good that even mispours can easily be lifted out. BN LUBRICOAT-BLUE® extends refractory life, stops refractory deterioration due to corundum growth and avoids inclusions that are a problem with other coatings such as bone ash.
Note that if tables have been previously coated with bone ash or red-mud, Z-PRIMERCOAT should be used initially to seal in residual dust etc. from them, followed by topcoating with BN LUBRICOAT-BLUE® [See Wagstaff datasheet].
