Key Attributes
- Provides, in a water-based paint, the properties of ZrO2 – lowest thermal conductivty; good high-temperature stability with molten metals, glasses, slags, and salts; inert barrier for reactions, diffusion bonding, brazing etc.
- Applies like housepaint (brush, dip, air-spray)
- Easily applied by air spraying on to hot or cold graphite crucibles and molds
- Good with highly reactive molten metals
- Safe, Water-Based
Ideal Uses
- Graphite crucibles and molds
- Anti-stick with diffusion bonding
