Curing conditions at ambient temperatures:

The system must be kept at ambient temperature

coated substrates can be stressed with

Forced curing can enable faster processibility. In
such case a constant level of ambient humidity
must be provided.

How to achieve adherent, flexible coatings:
Pigmentation:
 Recommendation: According to
guideline-formulation, if a temperature
stress above 200°C is required
 Inorganic heat resistant pigments, like
e.g. silvered aluminum, oxides, spinel
pigments, rutile can be used
(see Table 1)
 The pigment volume concentration of
the coating should range between
20-30%.
 The amount of laminar pigments / fillers
like mica should be at least at 15wt% of
the formulation (calculated solid on
solid).
Table 1
Dry film thickness:
 As a rule of thumb: Dry film thickness:
25 ±5µm
Substrate pre-treatment:
 Recommended: sand-blasting.
SILIKOPHEN® AC 1000: Substrate must
be shot-blasted.
SILIKOPHEN® AC 900 substrate should
be shot-blasted. Plain steel is also
possible.
In general the substrate should be free
from oil, grease and welding residues.
 Phosphating as a pre-treatment is not
allowed for high temperature
applications.
