COMPOSITE COATINGS : Composite materials such as carbon fibre and high grade plastics are replacing metals in many industrial applications. The need for enhanced surface properties such as thermal protection and low coefficient of friction are often still required and can be met with the following coatings: |
| IC-105 (click here to view) |
| IC-105 is designed to provide a layer of insulation to isolate component substrates from high temperature environments. It may be sprayed or brushed on to virtually any clean substrate and has excellent adhesion to many thermal set polymers as well as most metals. Water based and designed to air with full chemical cure occurring at 150º C. |
| CBC2 (click here to view) |
| CBC2 is a water based cermet coating that cures at 175º C to a grey/white finish which is then polished to provide reflective thermal insulation for the substrate beneath. An ideal coating for use on metallic and plastic heat shields. |
| FRC (FIRE RETARDANT COATING) (click here to view) |
| FRC (Fire Retardant Coating) is formulated to protect plastics, fibreglass, carbon fibre and Kevlar from charring due to exposure to direct sources of heat. It can be brushed or sprayed on to any of these and will also bond to metals. |
| Any of the other coatings that are cured within the temperature capability of the base composite (typically 150º C) can be used for thermal insulation, lubrication, thermal dispersion and anti-corrosion. Refer to the relevant section for details |
