FAQs that can help you in this category

What high-temperature coating solutions are available to improve the corrosion resistance of metal parts?

Final Advanced Materials' Duralco high-temperature paints provide improved resistance to corrosion and adverse weather. The choice of paint will depend on the usage conditions and the material of the medium requiring protection. When the surface has been descaled, derusted, cleaned and degreased you can apply the paint using a brush or spray gun. Specifically: 2 thin layers are preferable to 1 thick layer.

If you require thermal resistance up to 650°C in a humid and/or saline atmosphere, the aluminium-based paint produced Final Advanced Materials offers would be a great solution. However, if the temperature requirement does not exceed 800°C, the Duralco 230 paint, which is stainless steel-loaded, would be more effective.


What are the advantages of ceramic coatings for preventing the adhesion of molten metals?

The ceramic coatings (BN or graphite) offered by Final Advanced Materials have low surface energy, which limits the adhesion of molten metals (Al, Zn, Cu, etc.). They reduce wetting and facilitate stripping. Their thermal stability and their chemical inertia improve the lifetime of the tools used. They also reduce metal contamination and wear of tools.

The coatings' maximum working temperature will depend on the gaseous environment. Temperature stability is limited to 450°C for graphite and 850°C for boron nitride in air or an oxidising atmosphere, and to over 1,000°C in a vacuum or inert gas.


How to apply a boron nitride coating (BN) with an aerosol spray?

The BN coatings offered by Final Advanced Materials can be applied with a spray, a brush or by dipping. Surface preparation (degreasing, roughness Ra 1.6–3.2 µm) is essential to provide a better adhesion. Drying is carried out at ambient temperature. The typical thickness is 10 to 50 µm. The thinnest possible layers should be used for application. Let each layer dry fully before applying a new one. If a layer is too thick it will have a lower resistance, and a higher risk of delamination or cracking. BN provides excellent thermal stability (as high as 800/900°C in air and 1,800°C in a vacuum or inert gas).


Does a surface coating limit hot glass marking?

The anti-adhesion coatings offered by Final Advanced Materials provide very effective results in the glass industry. Applying a boron nitride-based product will result in a very low surface energy, an anti-adherent effect, high chemical inertia for silicate glasses, and high temperature resistance (≈ 900°C in air and up to 1,800°C in a controlled atmosphere). This coating will lead to a reduction in adhesion, decreased material transfer, and minimal surface marking.
