Polyborosilazane is used for self-cleaning anti-corrosion coatings EK-S06

EK-S06 Introduction:

EK-S06 uses polyborosilazane as a film-forming agent and can be used for self-cleaning anti-corrosion coatings (cured in air) below 200°C. With a pencil hardness exceeding 6H, it is suitable for voltage-resistant insulation coatings, wear-resistant coatings, and fire-resistant coatings.
It is suitable for outdoor use as a hydrophobic, self-cleaning, anti-aging coating and a ceramic resin-based precursor. It can also be used for high-hardness anti-corrosion coatings (cured in nitrogen atmosphere) above 850°C. Combined with a variety of composite materials such as high-temperature molecular materials, anti-rust fillers, ultrafine powders, and organic polymer dispersions, the resulting dense coating can withstand temperatures exceeding 1000°C.

Applicable substrates:

Carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, high-temperature alloy steel, glass-ceramic panels, ceramics, cement, and other materials.

Applicable temperature:

Curing in air is suitable for outdoor applications with temperatures below 200°C and short-term exposure to temperatures up to 400°C.
Curing in nitrogen is suitable for heat-resistant applications above 850°C and short-term exposure to temperatures up to 1000°C.
Depending on the heat resistance of the substrate, the coating’s heat resistance will vary, including resistance to thermal shock and cold shock.
(Note: Different substrates may have different product specifications).

Special Note:

This product is a one-component, self-curing product. Please use the coating within four hours. During extended application periods, tools should be cleaned to prevent caking. It is recommended that the coating be applied in one coat, with a dry film thickness not exceeding 150µm. Otherwise, coating performance may be compromised.

Standard Application Procedure：

Surface Cleaning → Roughening → Cleaning and Blowing → EK-S06 Treatment → Curing

Process Description:

1. Roughening: Before coating, polish or sandblast the substrate surface to remove rust, dust, and dirt adhering to the surface. Roughening significantly affects the coating quality. Ideally, Sa2.5 and St3 grades should be free of scale (GB/T 30790.4-2014), so please pay close attention.
2. Cleaning: Use a dedicated cleaning agent or degreasing agent to remove any remaining oil, dust, and other contaminants on the roughened surface.
3. Substrate Drying: Before coating, ensure the substrate surface is dry and clean.
4. Paint Mixing: This product is a single-component product. Filter through a 120-mesh filter as needed.
5. Paint Application: Laboratory spraying with a 1.0-caliber spray gun provides optimal appearance and uniformity. The cured coating exhibits a certain degree of hydrophobicity and oleophobicity, so re-application is not recommended.
6. Curing: After spraying, the coating can be cured at room temperature for more than 24 hours. It can also be cured quickly by heating at 85 to 180°C. Curing in nitrogen atmosphere requires a temperature ramp.

Product Storage:

1. Storage must comply with national regulations. The storage environment should be dry, cool, well-ventilated, and away from heat and ignition sources. The packaging container must be kept tightly closed and carefully stored.
2. The storage temperature should be maintained between 5°C and 30°C. The shelf life is 6 months.
3. Opened but unused paint must be sealed and stored.
4. Mixed but unused paint cannot be recycled and must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
5. Products that have exceeded their expiration date may only be used after passing testing.
