Refractory Coatings

What is Refractory Coating?

Foundry Coatings can be thought of as paints especially developed for the metal casting industry. the difference between conventional paints and a foundry coating is that the foundry coating is designed to withstand the high temperatures of molten metal and to act as a barrier between molten metal and a core or mold surface.

The benefits of a foundry coating are only achieved if the coating is the proper one for the job and if the coating is correctly prepared, applied, and dried. Improperly selected, prepared or applied coatings can result in poor casting finish and/or applied coating defects such as scabs, blows, gas holes, inclusions, etc.
