International Technical Ceramics Coatings

Description:

• ITC-100 HT Ceramic Coating is a versatile high temperature coating that has proven to achieve outstanding energy savings and refractory protection.  Use it alone or as a base coat for other ITC products.  It is used as a covering for ceramic fiber insulation or castable refractory. This material reflects radiant heat back into the furnace or forge to achieve high temperatures quickly and efficiently.

• ITC 200 EZ Ceramic Fill is a durable compound used to repair broken, chipped or cracked brick, castable or fiber material (such as Kaowool or Fiberfrax). Bonds rapidly and eliminates need for costly re-bricking. Repairs old equipment economically and efficiently.

• ITC 213 Ceramic Coating for Metals.  This is an outstanding product especially formulated to protect metals and graphite, including those directly in contact with molten metal. It helps to prevent stainless steel and steel parts from erosion, oxidation and fatigue from prolonged use.  Use also to repair damaged areas.  (This material is a long lasting coating for your steel pipe crucibles!) 

• ITC 296A Ceramic Top Coating is a high purity ceramic top coating that resists deposits from firing gasses and from contact with molten metals.  Increases energy efficiency by reflecting heat back into the furnace or back into the melt.  Helps to reduce contamination of subsequent firings from the by products of the previous heats.  This material is applied over the base coat of ITC-100, ITC-200EZ or ITC-213.

• ITC-100 HT Ceramic Coating:  Preparation: Prepare the surface by removing all loose and weakened fiber, bricks, debris, particles, dust and grease from interior walls, door, crown, floor and grooves behind electrical elements.  Immediately before applying ITC 100, dampen these areas by spraying lightly with water. Mixing: Mix to one pint of ITC 100 1/2 pint of water and mix well.  Applying: Spraying is the best method of application.  For small applications a brush can be used. Coverage: A gallon will cover 50 to 100 square feet, and a pint will cover approximately 6 to 12 square feet.

• ITC 200 EZ  Preparation: Apply ITC 100 HT as a base coat.    Applying: Immediately after application of ITC 100 HT, using a spatula or similar tool, fill all cracks, holes, crevices and damaged areas with the ITC 200.  Allow to air dry before firing.

• ITC 213:  Preparation: Prepare the surface by removing all loose rust layers, grease, dirt and molten metal build-up.  If possible roughen the surface to be coated by using a file or hacksaw blade.  Sandblasting is NOT recommended.  Wash surface with a 1:1 solution of liquid Clorox bleach and water.    Applying: Mix coating thoroughly.  The best results are obtained by using a paint edger or a piece of cloth dipped into the ITC 213 and then vigorously rubbing the coating onto the surface as thinly as possible.  Coverage:  150 to 250 sq feet per gallon, or a pint will cover 18 to 31 square feet. 

• ITC 296A:  Preparation: Apply other ITC-products as appropriate. The 296A is always the final coat applied.  Fire previous materials to full operating temperature.   Applying: Thin the material by adding 1/2 a pint of water to a pint of 296A. Mix thoroughly.  Apply the 296A with a sprayer or by brush. Allow to air dry and then fire to operating temperature. Coverage: 100 to 200 sq feet per gallon, a pint will cover 12 to 20 square feet.

WARNING:  Do NOT apply any surface coatings, such as ITC-100 or ITC-100 coated ceramic fiber blankets over refractory cement until the refractory cement has been cured and fired.  Sealing the cement surface before it has been fully fired once has caused steam explosions!!
