Z-GUARD produces a hard, abrasion and chemical resistant zirconia (ZrO2) coating that is protective to all ceramic bodies against most molten metals and corrosive environments to above 3200 F (1800 C). Z-GUARD may be applied to soft or fibrous structures with no special rigidizer to produce a more wear resistant surface layer which is also resistant to most high temperature reactions which may degrade the ceramic.

1. Clean the substrates of loose materials, oils, dirt, etc.

2. Apply 1 to 2 coatings by brush or spray. Air dry between applications.

3. Air dry thoroughly before heating.

4. The coating becomes hard and adherent after heating to above 300 C (570 F).

5. Clean up with water.
