Metakot-I100

Metakote I -100 is a ready for use spirit based Zircon coating. It has
excellent thixotropic properties with high solids and excellent
suspension characteristics which enable good application by brushing or
swabbing. Metakote-I-100 imparts superior casting finish in steel
cast-iron and copper based compositions. It is stable for all types of
binder backgrounds especially resinous binders.Functions:


Refractory properties of Zircon are utilized for coating sand
moulds and cores and the coating layer resists metal penetration and
sand fusion on the casting surface.Excellent suspension properties tend to give easy re-mix ability and require minimum preparation.High filler to carrier ratio and high gel strength allows very
small seepage into mould or core face and hence chances of sand surface
weakening is minimized.
Application:
Metakote-I-100 is supplied as a creamy paste which requires to be
diluted with Isopropyl Alcohol for usage. Application at 90-92 deg
Baume is recommended for application which can be achieved with
dilution ratio of 100: 0.05 (product: IPA). For spraying consistency
dilution can be done up to 20%.By brushing or swabbing apply at a speed that allows building a desired coating thickness.Ignite the coated area immediately to avoid solvent evaporation.Close the container when not in use.
Advantages
Being a ready for use coating eliminates mixing operationThixotropic nature ensures non-drip characteristic and consequent reduction in wastage.Evolves minimum gases during metal pouring and low carbon pick-up makes the product useful for alloy steel castings also.During application it develops thick crack free refractory
coating in single application imparting fine casting finish and reduces
fettling operations.
Storage and Handling: The product should be stored at a room
temperature under roof and away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use
safety measures while handling the above product.Shelf-Life: 6 Months from the date of manufacture.Standard Packing: 30 Kgs in poly carboys
