High-Temperature Ceramic Coatings

High-temperature ceramic coatings are two-component polysilazane systems that cure — and in service, ceramify — into dense protective layers for 600 to 1000 °C duty. Where heat-resistant paints fade at 400 °C, these films convert toward inorganic Si-C-N structure and keep protecting: verified thermal-shock cycling, salt-spray endurance measured after 800 °C exposure, and a documented 1000 °C / 24 h result at the top of the line.

Four grades ladder the range. HT21 (black) and HT23 (white, 3:1 ratio) cover 600 °C continuous duty with 30-day corrosion protocols and five-cycle water-quench resilience. HT52 (gray/white) and HT53 (black-gray) are the ultra-high-temperature pair: 800 °C recommended service, 1000 °C / 24 h verification, and nitrogen-cure routes to 1300 °C.

How to Choose

Service temperature sets the tier

Duty to 600 °C → HT21/HT23 (oven schedules of 180–250 °C). Duty to 800 °C or exposure spikes beyond → HT52/HT53, with nitrogen-cure routes to 1300 °C when validated.

Color and inspection needs

Black (HT21, HT53) hides service staining; white/gray (HT23, HT52) reflects heat and shows damage early for visual inspection programs. HT23 uniquely holds a white finish at 600 °C.

Verified result that matches your risk

Thermal cycling → HT21/HT23 (>5 water-quench cycles at 600 °C). Post-fire corrosion → HT52 (30 d salt spray after 800 °C exposure). Extended endurance → HT53 (≥1000 h salt spray, 1000 °C / 24 h).

Cure capability check

All four need heat: 180–260 °C oven schedules as standard, 500 °C air or nitrogen programs for top-tier duty. No oven? Use SILZ-RT31 from the room-temperature line (600 °C service, ambient cure).

High-Temperature Ceramic Coatings — FAQ

How thin can these coatings be and still protect at 600–1000 °C?

Specified films run just 10–40 µm. Protection comes from dense ceramic conversion and filler architecture, not bulk — which is exactly why over-thick films fail: they crack during conversion. Follow each grade's film window strictly.

What happens to the coating on first heat-up in service?

Controlled first heating completes densification — the binder converts further toward inorganic ceramic. Each TDS ships with commissioning ramp guidance; follow it and the film's full endurance ratings apply.

Can you match a grade to our flue-gas or furnace conditions?

Yes — send peak and continuous temperatures, substrate alloy, atmosphere (air, reducing, desulfurized flue gas) and cycling pattern. We return the grade, film build and cure schedule as a qualified system, with test panels on request.
