Description

Aluminium-Oxide-Coating AW is a high purity alumina coating with excellent release and non-sticking properties. Due to its high chemical resistance this coating serves as a chemical reaction barrier with sintered materials, e.g. with the production of hard metals (tungsten carbides) and magnetic substances. An application as a protective and release coating is also possible in the field of melting and casting processes of aggressive metals, alloys and slags.

Aluminium-Oxide-Coating AW produces a soft and flexible coating. For hard and abrasive-resistant coatings the product Aluminium-Oxide-Coating AA is available. Aluminium-Oxide-Coating AW can be used both at air as well as under vacuum and inert gas up to 1800°C.

Application

Resuspend Aluminium-Oxide-Coating AW prior to use. Dilute with distilled water if necessary.
Application on clean surfaces is possible by painting or spraying.
Dry thoroughly. Do not contact wet coatings with metal melts. Additional layers may be applied after drying.
Curing of the coating is possible at 1000°C.
Best performance of Aluminium-Oxide-Coating AW is achieved by thin coatings (up to 200µm). Thick coatings may crack during use.
Do not damage coating during use, because damaged areas are not protected sufficiently.
Tools may be cleaned with water.

Storage-Container Size

Aluminium-Oxide-Coating AW must be protected against frost. A storage temperature of >5°C (>41°F) is recommended. The containers should be kept closed. Aluminium-Oxide-Coating AW is available in 1kg-containers.

Safety Advices

According to data available to us Aluminium-Oxide-Coating AW is a non-hazardous preparation. An EC material safety data sheet is available.
