Air Setting Ceramic Cement

This air setting ceramic cement is inorganic and contains sodium silicate binders. Sodium Silicate is a water soluble salt commonly known as “soluble glass”. It cures by loss of moisture through water evaporation. Cure may be accelerated by low temperature oven drying. It is characterized for good bonding strength with most metals, ceramics and glass surfaces. It is best utilized as a thin coating or for sealing applications where coating thickness is less than 1/4I. It has good thermal shock resistance, thermally conductive, and is electrically insulating. Working time (or pot life) is virtually unlimited if not exposed to air, making this material best suited for automated dispensing equipment. Due to its inorganic composition, this cement is very stable, will not outgas or cause skin irritations. Maximum service temperature: 1800°F (982°C).

Applications:
This material is specified throughout the automotive, appliance and assembly industries for bonding, insulating and encapsulating applications. Upon curing it resembles a durable ceramic and is used to replace sealing wax, bolts, nuts and screws because of its ability to readily adhere to practically any clean non plastic surface.

Chemical Setting Ceramic Cement

This chemical setting material is a phosphate bonded potting cement with a zircon base. Excellent volume stability of these cements qualify them as ideal materials for potting thick sections since they cure chemically from the inside. Suited for applications with ceramics, glass and metal and will not corrode most metal alloys due to their neutral PH. Primarily used where high electrical insulation and thermal conductivity is desired. Working time (pot life) after powder is mixed with water is approx. 30 minutes at 70°F (21°C). This cement hardens with an internal chemical setting action after 18 - 24 hours at ambient temperature. Maximum service temperature: 2600°F (1427°C).

Applications:
Encapsulation of resistors, heating elements, high intensity lamps, thermocouples and insulators.
