The new developed "Alu-Stop" LC Boron-Nitride-Coatings are specially designed for an easy application of boron nitride in casting shops. These boron-nitride coatings are applied like ordinary house paint by brushing or using a spray gun. They are perfect release agents used in Aluminium and magnesium foundries for the protection of ladles, dies, ingot moulds, permanent moulds, thermocouples and ceramic structures. These coatings provide an excellent non-sticking and lubricating surface to which neither aluminium nor magnesium will adhere. "Alu-Stop" LC Boron-Nitride Coatings are a proven release agent for coating thimbles, transition plates and refractory linings of tundishes of DC casting machines, too. These include such advanced billet casting machines like W agstaff™ Casting Systems and similar installations. During casting breaks, these coatings ensure the perfect and easy release of remaining Aluminium without damaging the refractory substrate.

The BN-coatings are available in four different grades with different BN concentration in order to meet the demands of all customers. Boron nitride concentrations are available form up to 15% and 25% maximum performance. The concentrations can be substantially dilutes with water in order achieve required consistency. This allows the user to easily adjust the level of BN required for his special application by simply diluting the coating with water. Ready-to-use formulations show solid contents of 5 % and 10 %. They offer an excellent performance at very reasonable costs.

The coatings are safe, because they are water-based formulations which contain neither solvents nor any chlorinated hydrocarbons, oils or greases. Therefore the coatings are non-hazardous, environmental friendly preparations which do not require any labelling according to the hazardous materials classification.
