Material Notes:
ZRCI Zirconium Oxide Coating Type RS-ZIRGUARD is a cream colored, water based paint of Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2). It is produced using high-purity, partially stabilized Zirconium Oxide (4 wt% CaO). It provides a high purity ceramic coating with utility to 1900°C (3452°F). It exhibits high chemical resistance and excellent release properties. Type RS-ZIRGUARD produces a hard, abrasion and chemical resistant coating that protects all ceramic bodies against most molten metals and corrosive environments, protecting them from spalling, dusting, and chemical attack. Type RS-ZIRGUARD may be applied to soft or fibrous structures to produce a more wear resistant surface layer which is also resistant to most high temperature reactions which may degrade the ceramic.Information provided by ZIRCAR Refractory Composites, Inc.
