Ceramic Coating Resins

KDT offers a variety of polymers that are useful resins in the formulation of corrosion resistant, high temperature ceramic coatings.  Unlike most coating resins (i.e. organic, silicone, etc.) which decompose at high temperatures, KDT polymer resins undergo a condensation process at high temperature that converts the polymers to ceramic material.  Thus, coatings based on KDT polymers provide thermal protection at temperatures exceeding 1,000 °C.  KDT polymer resins are compatible with a variety of ceramic and metal pigments and fillers.  Final coating properties are easily modified by controlling the type and amount of additives.

Coatings may be formulated with or without solvent and can be applied by spray, brush, or dip applications.  The coatings are typically cured at temperatures between 150 and 200 °C; a ceramic protective barrier is formed as the temperature is progressively raised.  KDT ceramic coating resins adhere exceptionally well to almost all substrates including ferrous and non-ferrous metals and metal alloys, ceramic, glass, etc.  The coatings display high hardness (> 9H pencil hardness) and are free of microcracks.  Typical films thicknesses are between 15 – 200 µm.  Such coatings provide exceptional corrosion and oxidation protection.  Operating temperatures in excess of 1,000 °C can be achieved.
