Aluminum Oxide Coatings

Type A1 is a water-based paint that yields a moderately-hard coating that is 100% Aluminum Oxide when heated >600 C (>1112 F).   The coating is typically about 50% dense and has much less hardness than dense Aluminum Oxide … but does provide many of the useful properties of AI2O3 in an easy-to-use paintable form, for all atmospheres to 1800 C (3240 F).

A Aerosol is a fast-drying, solvent-based, easy-to-use aerosol spray can that allows easy application of Aluminum Oxide to most any substrate for use in any atmosphere. Thus, the aerosol can provides the great properties of Al2O3 in an easy-to-use manner with low electrical conductivity; moderately-high thermal conductivity; good refractoriness and resistance to molten metals.

ZYP Coating’s “A Aerosol Brushable” is the same formulation that is used in our A Aerosol spray can … but is in BULK (paint) form, sold by the gallon.  The A Aerosol Brushable can be applied by brushing, traditional air-spraying means, or dipping. Usable in any environment from room temperature to 1800 C (3275 F).  A Aerosol Brushable can be diluted with Acetone for somewhat faster drying or with Ethyl Alcohol for somewhat slower drying.
