Oxidation Resistant Protective Coatings
Oxy-shield coatings are advanced, water based, non-hazardous and cost effective
metal and graphite protection systems. They are formulated to protect metals and
alloys from oxidizing or contaminating atmospheres at high temperatures for extended
times. The coatings prevent the diffusion of gases into and out of the metals.
The water based coatings are applied prior to heating for rolling, forging, hot-extruding,
annealing or other heat treatments.
ATP coatings are formulated to protect:
- Tool Steels
- Stainless Steels
- Nickel Alloys
- Carbon and low Alloys
- Zirconium Alloys
- Titanium Alloys
- Molybdenum
- Graphite
Oxy-shield coatings are cost effective because they retard the formation of oxide
scale, reduce surface rejects, minimize secondary finishing operations, reduce the
loss of valuable metal while improving product quality. Oxy-shield coatings are
effective up to 2400 degrees F.
