Series
Heat-cured
Topcoat and precursor, cured in the oven
These grades are formulated for stoving lines: the film crosslinks only in the oven, and on continued heating it converts towards an amorphous ceramic network. They carry no amino silane, so the cure is thermal and nothing else. Choose them where the part can be baked and the surface has to hold up at temperature.
Grades in this series
| Grade | Viscosity | Pencil hardness | Contact angle | Heat resistance | Ceramizable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SF-CB003 | 15–45 cSt @ 25 °C | 7H | 95–100° | < 500 °C continuous in air; 1000 °C peak after ceramization | Not stated |
| SF-CB0031 | 55–305 cSt @ 25 °C | 8–9H | 90–100° | < 500 °C continuous in air | Yes |
| SF-CB103 | 35–55 cSt @ 25 °C | 6H | < 500 °C continuous in air | Yes | |
| SF-CB105 | 1005–6005 cSt @ 25 °C | 7–9H | < 500 °C continuous in air; 1000 °C peak after ceramization | Yes |
All figures measured on 304 stainless steel, spin-coated to a 4 µm film and air dried.
How to choose inside this series
Within this series the grades differ mainly in viscosity and in how much ceramic residue they leave: the thin ones for a 4 µm film, the thick ones for a build coat, the high-yield ones where the film is a precursor rather than a coating.
