Zircoat Refractory Coatings

Posted by JyotiCeramic on May 28th, 2021

ZIRCOAT is zirconia rich, high temperature, erosion / corrosion resistant ceramic water - based refractory coating compound, which is available in two grades; ZIRCOAT-HT and ZIRCOAT-M respectively.

Zircoat marks the development of a unique Zirconia Ceramic Refractory Coating compound, which will prove greatly beneficial to the industries where erosion/corrosion is a severe and chronic problem for refractories and kiln steel shells.

Main Characteristics & Advantages Of Zircoat

•         Easy to apply by trowelling, brushing or spraying
•         Good adhesion to metals, refractory bricks, monolithics, castables and ceramic fibre modules, molten metal, graphite /carbon crucibles etc.
•         Good adhesion
•         Easy to mix
•         Resistant to severe attack and sand blasting effect of burning fuel oil
•         Resistant to the influence of steam, acids, alkalies, fumes of sulphur and Vanadium compounds and molten metals.
•         Excellent dry strength
•         Excellent resistance to powdering & Gas tight surface without spalling or cracking.
•         Good chemical resistance
•         Reduction in slag adhesion
•         Odourless and nonhazardous
•         Considerable increase in service life of refractory linings and heating systems

Zircoat Application Procedures

Zircoat is of great advantage to high & low temperature tunnel & shuttle kilns. It considerably extends service life of kiln cars & kiln combustion areas.

1 to 2mm thick Zircoat coating on the heating area increases its service life by 4-5 folds as compared tothe uncoated ones, and also saves on fuel energy by preventing heat energy losses due to leakage through the lining cracks.

Zircoat-M Refractory Coatings

Zircoat-M is a wonder Zircon rich Refractory Coating Matrix ideal for metals and low temperature refractories.

Zircoat-M is Zircon rich refractory coating compound containing high percentage (63%) Zirconia and is most ideal for ferrous and non ferrous metals and refractories except Aluminum metal. Zircoat-M protects from corrosion erosion, chemical fumes and flue gases escaping from heating chambers and severely affecting metals and refractories and thus reducing their service life.

Main uses of Zircoat-M

Protects metals and refractories from destructive heat-escaping from the heating ducts and combustion chambers creating corrosion. erosion and cavitations etc. Attacks of destructive chemicals, gases, fumes, flue gases etc. Zircoat-M enhances the service life of chimneys. ducts high temperature burning systems, combustion chambers, kiln furniture and modules etc. Zircoat-M reduces expensive maintenance and plant shutdown cost considerably.

In metal chimenys:- Zirocat-M has to be applied on inside surface only.
