ZYP
Coatings, Inc. has introducted its new “brushable”
biodegradable-oil-based lubricant/coating/paint Keralon-B for use from
ambient to 1000 C. Its lubrication is based on dboth organic and
inorganic ingredients: the organic being a high-flashpoint methylated
seed oil (called MSO) and the inorganic being a ceramic mixture of
chemically-inert lubricating phases — boron nitride (BN), graphite, and
titanium dioxide.
In
lab testing, this lubricant is good as an oily mixture at room
temperature; can be heated to 200 C for 8-10 hours to create a
“dry-film-lubricant”; and excels at 500 C to 1000 C. Keralon-B is a
unique oil-based coating that allows its application to hot or cold
surfaces needing lubrication or an inert film to protect a substrate
from reactive materials.
Keralon-B
can be thinned with Keralon Thinner or Canola Oil to achieve any
desired viscosity, such as making a “sprayable” coating. This new
lubricant can be considered for any high-temperature-exposed parts or
components, including belts, conveyers, chains, rollers,
hinges/bolts/screws. Also, since the ceramic ingredients are high
thermal conduction materials, Keralon-B can be used for sealing gaps
with heater-cartridges.
Attributes include:
* Superior lubrication/anti-stick from ambient to 1000 C in air/vacuum/inert conditions
* Dry-Film-Lubricant above 200 C
* Nonreactive/nonwetting with molten metals, glasses, and slags
* Prevents oxidation/rusting/galling/reactions while lubricating
* Biodegradable carrier oil with low VOC (volatile organic compound) level
