The material

How this grade works and where it fits — exact parameters are defined in the TDS.

Polysilazane offers outstanding advantages such as high hardness, high-temperature resistance and resistance to yellowing; however, as an ultra-hard silazane it is relatively low in toughness and falls short in bend resistance and boiling-water resistance. In this product, polyester groups and hydroxyl groups are introduced onto the molecular chain of a voltage-resistant insulating polysilazane; through a bake cross-linking reaction, the bend resistance, boiling-water resistance, salt-spray resistance, abrasion resistance, light transmittance and aging resistance of the polysilazane are greatly improved, giving EK-M05 excellent overall physical and chemical performance.

After curing, the coating forms covalent bonds with the substrate; this chemical bonding greatly increases the mechanical strength of the coating.

Typical applications: (1) insulating, voltage-resistant protective coatings for new-energy lithium batteries and similar; (2) flexible insulated cables, enamelled wire and other insulation and voltage-resistance applications; (3) production of high-strength premium cement products, panels, pipes and other building materials; (4) heat-insulating reflective coatings, and insulating voltage-resistant primer-topcoats for special-purpose coil materials; (5) automotive and marine coatings, as well as building materials, molds, etc.; (6) bonding of glass-fiber-reinforced plastic, rigid plastics and concrete, electrical potting, etc.

Choose this series when flexibility and speed matter: polyester-modified films with fast ambient set (surface-dry <0.5 h) and >115° water contact angle, -30…250 °C service.

Storage conditions apply

Service temperature. Curing can be carried out either by baking at 140–160 °C or at ambient temperature. The service temperature is below 250 °C. Depending on the temperature resistance of the substrate, the temperature resistance of the coating varies accordingly; the coating withstands hot-cold cycling (note: the product supplied differs depending on the substrate).

Substrates & storage

Compatibility and handling essentials — confirmed per grade in the TDS and SDS.

Suitable substrates

Steel and stainless steel

Aluminium and other metals

Glass and ceramics

Stone and mineral surfaces

Carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, high-temperature alloy steels, glass-ceramic panels, ceramics, cement and similar materials are all suitable, as well as some organic materials, plastics, etc. Note: The coating formulation differs depending on the substrate. Within a certain range, it can be adjusted to match the substrate and its service conditions.

Storage, packaging & transport

  • Store in accordance with national regulations. The storage environment must be dry, cool and well ventilated, away from heat sources and open flames. Keep packaging containers tightly sealed and place them with care.

  • Maintain a storage temperature of 5–30 °C; the shelf life is 12 months.

  • Reseal opened containers of unused coating and store them tightly closed.

  • Prepared coating that is not used up cannot be reclaimed; dispose of it in accordance with local regulations.

  • Product past its shelf life may be used only after testing confirms it still meets specification.

Application process

General guidance — exact parameters are provided in the TDS and Application Guide.

01

Surface preparation

Clean, degrease and prepare the substrate.

02

Application

Spray, dip or wipe depending on grade.

03

Curing

Cure per the TDS conditions.

04

Quality control

Verify film build and adhesion.

Standard process: Surface cleaning → Abrasive roughening → Cleaning and blow-off → EK-M05 application → Curing

  • Abrasive roughening. Before coating, sand or blast the substrate surface to remove rust, dust, dirt and other contaminants adhering to the workpiece surface. Surface roughening has a major influence on coating performance: Sa2.5 is optimal and St3 with no mill scale is the minimum (GB/T 30790.4-2014), so give this step full attention.

  • Cleaning. Use a dedicated cleaner or degreaser to remove residual oil, dust and other contaminants from the roughened surface.

  • Substrate drying. Before coating, ensure the substrate surface is dry and clean.

  • Coating preparation. This product is one-component; take the required amount and filter it through a 120-mesh screen before use.

  • Coating application. For laboratory spray application, a 1.0 mm nozzle spray gun gives better appearance and uniformity.

  • Curing. After spraying, with room-temperature curing the coating is surface-dry in more than 20 min and touch-dry in more than 1 hour; accelerated heat curing is also possible (medium-low-temperature curing at 140 °C for about 10 minutes).

Note: This product is a one-component product; once mixed, use the coating within 6 hours. During longer breaks in application, clean the application tools thoroughly to prevent them from setting up. Application in a single spray pass is recommended, with a dry film thickness not exceeding 50 µm; otherwise coating film performance will decline.
