CAMCOAT: Q-COAT

THERMAL BARRIER COATINGS > Q-COAT

Q-Coat was developed specifically for use as a base ceramic coating on cast iron. It has excellent adhesion to the metal and provides a high level of thermal insulation. It is a water based coating so colours can be added and a clear top coat of CermaSeal™ applied to give a neutral coloured and durable finish.
