Boron Nitride Coatings
Boron nitride is a white ceramic based lubricant with extreme thermal stability, up to 1200 degrees Celsius.
IKV Lubricants have a range of dry film coatings based upon this material, available in bulk for spraying or painting on to the substrate or, we have boron nitride aerosol sprays which allow a thin coating of material to be applied.
These materials can be used as a release agent for molten metals at extremely high temperatures and can also be used as a protective coating for welding equipment, as well as an anti-spatter coating.
A thin coating of boron nitride allows welding equipment to be easily cleaned of spatter.
IKV Filmsec 1024 Spray is a dry lubricant developed for long-lasting surface treatment with a base function of boron nitride. The IKV Lubricants boron nitride aerosol sprays allow a thin coating of material to be applied. It is designed for usage in the following applications:
Welding
- Protection of ceramic nozzles
- Protection of surfaces from slag scrapers
Forging
- Pre-treatment of forge and stamping dies, slow forming ops
Foundry
- Mould start-up with light and copper alloys, for gravity or die-casting
Extrusion
- Wire extruders
- Shears
- Surface protection in contact with aluminium under pressure
Glass Works
- Transfer tables
- Hot equipment handling glass
Mechanics
- Pre-treatment of forge and stamping dies, slow forming ops
- Mould start-up with light and copper alloys, for gravity or die-casting
- Lubrication of flat sliding areas (conveyor transfer areas)
- Protection of surfaces that are in contact against fretting corrosion
