Coatings for steel foundries utilize high purity zirconium silicate or metal oxide refractories to offer protection under the most extreme casting conditions. Further refractory protection and resistance to burn-in and penetration defects is achieved through the use of unique primer coatings that enhance the performance of zirconium silicate and metal oxide refractory top coatings.
A full range of specialist products is also available to cover specific applications, such as the high demands of manganese steel, highly alloyed stainless steels or metal penetration due to hot spots or high metallostatic pressures. These products are formulated to ensure rheology is optimized for specific application methods.
