Kager: Silicone-Ceramic Coating for Thermal Surface Protection
Kager offers a selection of coatings for the thermal protection of technical surfaces. One of the top-of-the-line coatings is the single-component CP4000-S2-HT system. It offers long-term temperature resistance of up to 760 °C.
Where conventional silicone resin and powder coatings reach their limits as heat-resistant surface barriers, the CP4000-S2-HT single-component system from the Kager portfolio still performs exceptionally well. This silicone-glass-ceramic coating is fire-resistant and provides technical surfaces with long-lasting, effective protection at temperatures up to 760 °C. The thermal shock resistance of this coating even extends up to 981 °C. It is therefore generally suitable for the thermal “sealing” of many surfaces, components, and joints that are exposed to intense heat and extreme temperature fluctuations during the value chain or in practical applications. Such a high-temperature coating can significantly increase the service life and availability of a surface while also substantially reducing maintenance costs. It is thus a value-added contribution to improving product quality.
Silicone-Ceramic Coating with a Wide Range of Applications
Kager currently supplies the CP4000-S2-HT to users in many different sectors and industries. These include numerous companies in automotive and vehicle manufacturing, furnace and boiler construction, power plant technology, and aerospace. Customers for this coating also include companies in the lighting technology, heating technology, chemical process engineering, and foundry sectors. Since the CP4000-S2-HT is a single-component system, it is easy to apply in practice. This is especially true since the dark gray base has a viscosity of 150–500 mPas. It is therefore viscous—similar to liquid wax. T-butyl acetate is used as a diluent—as is the case with many other paints and coatings. The high-temperature-resistant CP4000-S2-HT coating can be applied at normal temperatures (10 °C – 30 °C), has a drying time of about one hour, and cures at room temperature within 24 to 48 hours. If you wish to store the base material for an extended period, you should maintain a temperature range of 4.5 °C to 30 °C whenever possible. Kager’s qualified experts are available to provide consultation on universal surface coatings and high-temperature coatings such as the CP4000-S2-HT.
