CeraCast Powders
These dry refractory powder blends, CeraCast Powders, can be made into castable mixtures by merely adding water and allow one to easily make their own specialty refractories by merely pouring into silicone molds, drying, and firing. Three CeraCast Powders are offered...
ZRP with Near-Zero CTE
Materials with near-zero thermal expansion [NZTE] have been of interest to researchers and industry for decades since NZTE allows enhanced thermal shock resistance. RefClay ZRP and 3D Cer-Paste ZRP products allow easy production of NZTE parts of most any shape or...
Pyrrhos coatings
Pyrrhos (standard), BN Pyrrhos, Pyrrhos Binder This new coating group utilizes silicone along with a unique binder/suspender system that enables superior performance from room temperature to over 800 C in all atmospheres and for all substrates. Pyrrhos coatings here...
Unique Refractory Foam-in-Place
Cera Foam® Our water-based, paintable coating with “chemical direct foaming” expands to 2.5 times its size to form adherent, porous, black foam when first heated up to 700 C. Cera Foam provides highly porous thermal insulation as well as sealing/filling holes and gaps...
Aluminum Laser Welding
Korean researchers have demonstrated that our Titanium Nitride coating onto aluminum before laser welding produced great benefits, including much better laser absorption without cracking. Nam, S.; Jung, I.-H.; Kim, Y.-M. Effect of TiN Spray Coating on Cracking...
Near-zero Thermal Expanding Product
3D Cer-Paste ZRP Our proprietary composition has near-zero thermal expansion like fused silica and thus is extremely thermal shock resistant. Therefore, parts can be fabricated that can be used to 1500 C for very unique areas. This is a ‘first’ to have low overall...
