DESCRIBTION

APPLICATIONS EGYCOAT 105 ZR is an excellent mould and core dressing for high quality casting for steel, cast iron,
copper and nickel base alloys and very effective where conditions promoting severe erosion prevail.
EGYCOAT 105 ZR cannot be applied by dipping but is ideal as a non-drip coating for
over pouring, brushing and swabbing.
Fine adjustment of EGYCOAT 105 ZR consistency by adding up to 10% water can help in minimizing
metal penetration in the mould and core surfaces.

ADVANTAGES • It is non-drip thixotropic dressing but still flows easily.

• Drying is very convenient, and any method can be adopted without cracking or blistering of the
coating.
• Low direct cost as single coating may be applied due to high zircon content that gives good
covering power.
• It is not subjected to sedimentation and hence no remixing is required which means low indirect
cost. Excellent surfaces finish castings and hence reduced fettling costs.
