Yttria Paste

Yttria Paste is thick consistency formulation of our Type Y coating, based on the most thermodynamically Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3) – usable in vacuum and inert atmospheres to 2000 C (3632 F). Yttria Paste is ideal for sealing/filling crevices and for “seating” ceramic or graphite parts. Also, Yttria Paste can be brushed “as is” or blended with Type Y to achieve most any viscosity desired for a washcoat (or mold wash) type of coating. This paste should NOT be used in air atmospheres due to the binder loss in air.

Price range: $500.00 through $1,574.00

Key Attributes

  • Good erosion resistance at high temperatures
  • Low thermal and electrical conductivity
  • Use temperature to 2000 C in vacuum or inert atmospheres
  • Water-based, easy to use and cleanup

Ideal Uses

  • Reactive-molten metal processing and transport
  • Sealing/filling/seating components
  • Adjusting viscosity of Type Y sprayable coating
  • Stop-off/anti-stick with reactive brazing and diffusion bonding
