Fast-drying protection for high-turnaround moulding
Solvent Based Refractory Coatings are formulated with a fast-evaporating carrier (typically isopropyl alcohol) that lets the coating dry within minutes, either by air or with a quick flame pass — no oven cycle needed. Suspended refractory fillers such as zircon, graphite or alumino-silicate form a heat-resistant barrier once dry, preventing metal penetration and giving castings a smoother, cleaner surface.
This fast-dry advantage makes solvent-based coatings a preferred choice for no-bake moulding lines and jobbing foundries where mould turnaround time is critical. At BR Chemicals, every batch is tested in-house for density, viscosity and suspension stability before dispatch.
Built for speed without giving up finish quality
A solvent-based system chosen wherever fast mould turnaround matters as much as casting surface quality.
Rapid Drying
Dries in minutes by air or flame ignition, removing the need for a dedicated drying oven cycle.
Smooth Casting Finish
Fine refractory particles form an even barrier layer, reducing surface roughness and fettling work.
Excellent Suspension Stability
Formulated to stay in suspension with minimal settling, keeping density consistent dip after dip.
Dip, Spray or Flow-Coat
Works across common application methods, suited to both no-bake and shell moulding processes.
Choose Your Solvent Based Coating
Each coating family is built around a different refractory filler, matched to the alloy and casting finish you need.
Zircon Based Coatings
Zircon-filled coating for maximum refractoriness and a fine, defect-free finish on steel and iron castings.
Zircon-Graphite Based Coatings
A blended zircon-graphite system combining high heat resistance with excellent mould release properties.
Graphite Based Coatings
Graphite-based coating ideal for grey iron and SG iron castings, reducing sand burn-on and improving finish.
Alumino-Silicate Based Coatings
An economical, general-purpose refractory coating suited to a wide range of ferrous casting applications.
