Clear Coatings

KDT provides ready-to-use product suitable for application as an ambient curable clear coat.  Coatings based on this are typically dry-to-touch in 30 minutes and fully cured in 2 – 5 days.  Film thicknesses can be varied from between 5 – 20 µm, depending on application conditions.  KDT polysilazane resins adhere extremely well to many substrates including ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, ceramics, and glass.  The product is easily applied by spray, dip, or brush application.  Once cured, the polysilazane film provides a protective barrier that prevents corrosion and oxidation of the substrate.  In addition, polysilazane-based clear coats have a low surface energy, which creates a hydrophobic surface that is not easily wetted by most substances.  As a result, such coatings find application as anti-graffiti coatings and “self-cleaning” coatings wherein dirt and water are easily shed from the coated surface.

Benefits of Using KDT Clear Coats:

• Cure under ambient conditions without the need of catalyst or heat
• Exceptional protection against corrosion and oxidation
• Excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates
• Low surface energy, hydrophobic films
