Key Features
- High-insulation coating for critical casting zones.
- Excellent thermal barrier properties.
- Promotes controlled and directional solidification.
- Suitable for localized application on runners, risers, and hot spots.
- Strong adhesion to die surfaces.
- Easy brush application and build-up of thick coating layers.
- Reduces heat loss from molten metal during casting.
- Supports improved casting integrity and yield.
Recommended Usage
- Clean the application area thoroughly before coating.
- Stir the material well to achieve a uniform consistency.
- Apply using a brush on runners, risers, or identified hot-spot areas.
- Build the coating thickness as required between 500–1500 microns.
- Allow proper drying before commencing production.
- Reapply in high-wear areas as needed during production.
- Optimize coating thickness based on casting geometry and feeding requirements.
Recommended for LPDC and GDC applications where enhanced insulation, improved feeding, and reduction of shrinkage-related defects are critical to achieving high-quality castings.
