2001 TMS Annual Meeting: Exhibitor

ZYP® Coatings, Inc. is the premier manufacturer of paintable boron nitride coatings. For aluminum billet producers (Wagstaff casters), three boron nitride paints are presented

• BLUE-COLORED Tableguard
• Transition Plate Coating (TPC)
• Ring-Seal.

Tableguard greatly extends casting-table refractory life, while giving inclusion-free pours, stopping dross buildup, and allowing easy removal of any mispours. Both water-based and solvent-based Transition Plate Coating (TPC)products are available for this application. Ring-Seal is a totally nonwetting, seal for transition-plate/graphite- ring joins.

ZYP Coatings provides true, total nonwetting boron nitride paints for all areas of processing molten nonferrous metals. Boron Nitride Lubricoat (WHITE or BLUE-COLORED) is ideal for extend-ing the life of refractory troughs, launders, runners — while providing smooth flowing action. Boron Nitride Releasecoat (WHITE or BLUE-COLORED) gives Teflon ® -like mold release and mirror-like (cosmetic) surface finishes for low-draft, high-drag areas in permanent molds. Boron Nitride Hardcoat is ideal for ladles, skimmers, and areas needing some abrasion-resistance.
