Pyrocote Z2 Refractory Coating

Pyrocote Z2 is a dark gray colored, thixotropic, water-based zircon coating, formulated with graphite to meet the needs of molten aluminium contact. Its thixotropic properties become liquid and easy to apply when shear forces are encountered, such as when the coating is stirred, brushed, sprayed, rolled or similarly applied. After a short period of time, undisturbed material in the container will revert to its original thixotropic gel properties. Inherent thixotropic properties also provide protection against the problems of cracking or spalling during subsequent rapid drying of thick applications.

WARNING: Never contact wet coatings with molten metal.

Advantages

  • High zirconia content giving good coverage
  • Ready-for-use
  • Non-drip thixotropic system, yet flows easily
  • Easy drying. Any available method can be used, will not crack, blister nor lift
  • Easy remixing or dilution in bucket
  • Gray color gives a good visual reference
  • Graphite gives excellent non-wetting properties to complement the zircon
