When industrial equipment operates above 1000°C, when components must withstand both thermal shock and chemical corrosion, traditional organic coatings have long vanished, while pure ceramic coatings struggle with application on complex geometries and poor adhesion. Now, an innovative solution combining polymer processability with ultimate ceramic performance has arrived: Thermal-Curing Coating Resin IOTA OPSZ 1800. This is an intelligent precursor material based on organosilicon polysilazane, capable of converting into high-performance ceramic upon pyrolysis, opening a new frontier for surface protection in extreme environments.
Process Flexibility, Tailored Control
IOTA OPSZ 1800 is a solvent-free system with exceptionally high solid content (99.99%) and low viscosity—ultra-pure, highly efficient for coating application. Its curing process exhibits remarkable tunable flexibility: By adding a trace amount of peroxide initiator (e.g., DCP), you can precisely control the curing progress within 1 to 90 minutes under mild conditions of 100-180°C, perfectly suitable for heat-sensitive substrates. Alternatively, the initiator-free system allows for rapid curing at 200-250°C, meeting the demands of efficient industrial production.
Pyrolysis to Ceramic, Performance Leap
Yet, the true marvel begins at higher temperatures. When the coating is heated above 425°C, the polymer backbone begins transforming into inorganic ceramic. As the temperature surpasses 700°C, it completely converts into a dense, robust high-temperature ceramic coating chemically bonded to the substrate. This is the core secret behind its astounding performance of continuous service at 1000°C+ and peak resistance up to 1800°C. The final ceramic layer exhibits excellent thermal insulation, oxidation resistance, and corrosion protection, along with superior non-stick properties, capable of confidently withstanding extreme conditions like molten metal and high-temperature corrosive atmospheres.
Broad Formulation Compatibility, Vast Applications
With a typical formulation ratio of 10-60%, it exhibits excellent compatibility with common solvents like alkanes, aromatics, ethers, ketones, and esters, granting formulation designers vast innovative space.
From aerospace engine hot-section components, thermal protection systems for hypersonic vehicles, and high-temperature nuclear reactor parts, to linings for high-temperature industrial furnaces, petrochemical cracking tubes, and semiconductor high-temperature fixtures—IOTA OPSZ 1800 offers a fully controllable pathway from convenient liquid coating to ultimate ceramic performance. Choosing it means endowing your most critical assets with the technological power to achieve eternal sublimation in the fiercest flames.
