COTPOL G A 11RM

Ready-for-use IPA based Graphite coating for spray, brush and dipping application.

The product COTPOL GA11RM is a ready-for-use Graphite coating having good suspension and covering properties. COTPOL GA11RM is suitable for use on green sand, silicate sand or oil sand moulds/cores and for casting almost all grades of Irons, Copper base alloys and Aluminium based alloys.

Reason to use
COTPOL GA11RM is designed to withstand temperature of molten metal, while acting as a barrier between molten metal and a core or mould surface there by helping in preventing sand burn on, metal penetration, wash erosion, metal/mould reaction and other common defects. It is carefully formulated coating to ensure a high refractory non-wettable and non-reactive coating layer with optimum application, properties to give excellent casting finish.

Advantages
COTPOL GA11 RM »  Offers good casting finish, free from burn-on and metal mould penetration to reduce fettling costs and improve productivity.
»  Does not cause any coating inclusion problems.
»  Evolves very low gas during casting.

Application
1. Remix the COTPOL GA11 RM coating homogeneously before use.
2. Apply by brush, spray or dip on mould and core surface and light off. Allow to burn out and cool to ambient temperature, before applying the second layer of coating.

Note: Water must not be added to COTPOL GA11RM for dilution.
