The material

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

This product uses polysilazane as the film-forming substance and contains a diluent, polymerization retarder, leveling agent and other auxiliaries. It solves the problem — difficult to achieve with conventional ceramic coatings — of room-temperature application combined with ambient-temperature curing. Pencil hardness exceeds 7H with no yellowing. It is suitable for paintwork protective coatings, voltage-withstand insulating coatings, wear-resistant fire-protection coatings, hydrophobic self-cleaning anti-aging coatings for outdoor use, skin-friendly antibacterial insulating main coats, and similar applications. After curing it forms covalent bonds with the substrate, and this chemical bonding greatly increases the mechanical strength of the coating.

Choose this grade as the standard clear protective coat: room-temperature-curing polysilazane varnish, ≥7H, -30…500 °C service with 800 °C peaks.

Final fit is confirmed during technical review — send your substrate, operating environment and application process, and the team will confirm this grade or point you to a closer one.

Storage conditions apply

Service temperature. Suitable for outdoor service at temperatures below 500 °C and for short-term high-temperature service at 800 °C, among other conditions. The temperature resistance of the coating varies according to the temperature resistance of the particular substrate; the coating resists hot–cold cycling and thermal shock (note: the corresponding product 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 alloy, titanium alloy, high-temperature alloy steel, glass-ceramic panel, ceramic, cement and other materials are all suitable. Note: the coating formulation differs for different substrates; 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 should be dry, cool and well ventilated, away from heat and ignition sources. Packaging containers must be kept tightly sealed and placed with care.

  • The storage temperature must be maintained between 5 °C and 30 °C; the shelf life is 12 months.

  • Coating that has been opened but not used up must be promptly resealed with the container lid and stored sealed.

  • Prepared (mixed) coating that has not been 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 that 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-S01 application → Curing

  • Abrasive roughening. Before coating, sand or blast the substrate surface to remove rust, dust, dirt and other contamination adhering to the surface of the workpiece. Roughening has a considerable influence on coating performance — optimum Sa2.5, minimum St3 with no mill scale (GB/T 30790.4-2014) — so pay full attention to this step.

  • Cleaning. Use a dedicated cleaning agent or degreaser to remove oil, dust and other residues remaining on the roughened surface.

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

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

  • Coating application. For laboratory spray application, a spray gun with a 1.0 nozzle orifice gives better appearance and uniformity. The cured coating is somewhat hydrophobic and oleophobic, so recoating is not recommended.

  • Curing. After spraying, for room-temperature curing: surface-dry in 1 hour, touch-dry in more than 2 hours, through-dry in more than 24 hours. Rapid heat curing is also possible (hold at 180 °C for 20 minutes).

Note: This product is a one-component self-curing product; once the container has been opened, use the coating within 4 hours. During longer application intervals, application tools should be cleaned thoroughly to prevent them from setting solid. Application in a single spray pass is recommended, with a dry film thickness not exceeding 150 µm; otherwise the coating film performance will decline.
