ZYP BORON NITRIDE LUBRICOAT-ZV,
ZYP BORON NITRIDE LUBRICOAT-BLUE-ZV
EROSION RESISTANT, HIGHLY DILUTABLE BORON NITRIDE COATING
IDEAL FOR METAL SURFACES
ZYP Boron Nitride Lubricoat®ZV and Lubricoat-Blue ® -ZV
coatings are non-wetting with
molten nonferrous metals and
formulated to allow dilution
without degrading performance.
Boron Nitride Lubricoat-ZV
creates a hard, durable surface
suitable for use with molten metal
flow and components exposed to
erosion and wear.
LUBRICOAT-ZV
Lubricoat-ZV comes as a standard white coating which can blend in with
the normal colour of ceramic substrates.
LUBRICOAT-BLUE-ZV
Lubricoat-Blue-ZV is available for better visibility. The blue colour serves as a
visual aid during the application process, assisting operators and supervisors
to visually see where the coating has been applied by differentiating the
blue colour from the white refractory substrate. It also serves as a wear
indicator identifying when to recoat.
WARNING: Never contact wet coating with
molten metal.
BENEFITS
• Less prone to flash rusting
• Corrosion resistant—protects surfaces
from molten aluminium, magnesium and
their drosses
• Non-wetting—acts like Teflon® to molten
metal
• Protects ceramics, metals and graphite
• Reduces maintenance and extends
refractory life
• Applies like house paint
• Safe, water-based and no volatile organic
compounds
• Hard surface lasts longer
• Contains no added fillers
APPLICATIONS
• Launders
USE INSTRUCTIONS
Application, either by dipping, air-spraying or brushing, can be used to
obtain an optimal thickness of 50–100 microns. Spraying is typically the
most accurate method for consistent thickness. The coating can be used
full strength or diluted with water to a maximum of four parts water to one
part coating. If diluting, the use of distilled or purified water is preferable.
• Autopour ladles
1. Clean surfaces to be coated of oils, dirt, scale, etc.
• Dross press heads
2. Mix thoroughly before use and occasionally during application to ensure
consistent performance.
• Tundishes and risers
3. For spraying or brushing, apply multiple thin coats for best performance.
If dipping, drain excess coating to achieve optimal thickness.
STORAGE
• Keep container closed to avoid liquid
evaporation/loss
4. Dry thoroughly before placing into service. Never contact wet coating
with molten metal.
5. Lightly polishing or buffing of the dry coating with a clean cloth will
aid in filling and smoothing the refractory pores and removal of excess
coating.
6. Clean tools with water.
• Tubes
• Funnels and spouts
• Filter bowls and boxes
• Caster tips
• Store at room temperature in the original
container
• Keep from freezing
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Prior to use, refer to the product safety data
sheet for proper handling and required personal
protective equipment.
