Dry Film Lubrication 

for perfect surface engineering

 

Low Friction

 

Coatings designed for Low Friction and Dry Film Lubrication provide permanent lubrication with consistent low friction performance over the wear life of the coating. Correct coating selection coupled to appropriate bearing design ensures low friction for the life of the mechanism or machine.

 

There are many examples which can vary from an edge cutting tool used for tough materials, to a pedal shaft on a car where squeaks must be eliminated for life coupled with ease of actuation or a seat belt locking mechanism which must release every time despite the load applied.

 

The Indestructible range of Low Friction Coatings incorporates blends of solid lubricant bonded permanently to a substrate. The selection of the correct coating take account of the: -

 

Bearing abrasive condition

Smoothness of the mating surface

Pressure or load

Relative speed of the two surfaces

These factors are all vital to a successful bearing which should ensure the lowest possible friction and consistent lubrication for the duration of the design life of any bearing.

 

When bonded to either metal, plastic substrates, these coatings will extend the lifetime of components whilst eliminating annoying squeaks, chatter, fretting galling or scuffing.

 

Frictions in a dynamic situation causes heat, wear, and absorb energy. Bearing failure is often caused by overheating and subsequent bearing seizure. The bearing property of a dry lubricant coating has the ability to withstand high temperature without catastrophic failure through sudden melt or breakdown.

 

Indestructible Low Friction Coatings are based on thermosetting polymers, which withstand a wide temperature range and exceed the operating limits of most conventional mineral and synthetic oils.

 

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

Most Indestructible Low Friction Coatings are based on PTFE as the solid lubricant whilst others use MoS2 or Graphite with binder systems to match the prevailing conditions. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) offers the lowest friction coefficient of any known solid with an equally low static coefficient of friction to dynamic. This unique low static friction ensures that mechanisms, which are required to operate intermittently, function on demand. Such products as fire extinguisher plungers or screw-threaded fasteners with low “break out“ torque are perfect examples. Low dynamic friction on bolt will also ensure that the design tension in the bolt is achieved from the applied torque without it being dissipated in overcoming thread friction.

 

Indestructible Paint Limited will ensure the correct selection and application of a coating to give permanent lubrication, low dynamic friction and equally low static friction in a variety of corrosive environments. Advice on the correct choice of coating is part of the Indestructible service.

 

Reliability

 

Dry lubrication suggests low constant friction with permanent protection from damage “pick up”, fretting or bearing seizure under a given load and speed range of two sliding surfaces.

 

For many applications an Indestructible coating ensures that this will be achieved thus providing the most cost effective solution. Other proprietary systems, some requiring lubricant maintenance programmes, can be complicated and more costly though not necessarily more reliable.

 

Coatings provide permanent lubrication and protect from corrosion in inaccessible locations or arduous conditions such as high temperatures where oils or greases cannot be used. For example the lubrication of an electric toaster mechanism benefits from the use of a coating on two counts. First it has to work at high temperature and secondly cannot employ any greases due to both the operating temperature and potential contamination of the food.

 

Apart from low dynamic friction, Indestructible coatings also offer a low static coefficient of friction and release. This ensures the intermittent or occasional operation after long periods of time when not in use. For example, a fire extinguisher actuation mechanism or the moving parts in an air conditioner are required to operate on demand after long periods of inactivity. In these applications, a coating not only guarantees lubrication at the sliding surfaces but also provides protection against any corrosive seizure. The coating of a threaded fastener provides corrosion protection and constant friction to the threads, which enables the design tension to be achieved in each case from a pre set torque-wrench.

 

It is important that the fastener or nut cannot “back–off”.

 

By coating one surface of any sliding or potentially moving part, one can ensure that lubrication is retained at any union when otherwise it could fail at some time in the life of the plant or mechanism.

 

Indestructible Low Friction Coatings can be specified to achieve protection against corrosion whilst providing permanent dry lubrication to moving components. Bearing load and velocity determine the type of coating to be used and systems to protect from certain corrosive conditions can be specified. Taking account of the mating surface and the tolerance within the bearing, wear can be predicted at the design stage pf the component to optimise system reliability throughout its operational life.

 

Convenience

 

Indestructible Low Friction Coatings can be applied inexpensively, easily and to within exacting tolerances to enhance the performance as well as to eliminate any possibility of fretting, squeaking, galling or chatter. Coatings can be applied to virtually any metal substrate and also plastics. In any design a coating can be specified to provide permanent dry lubrication to any area that could be subject to wear. In locations where precise tolerances are necessary, a coating can be applied to within a few microns thickness. In certain cases, coatings can be machined back to even more exacting limits.

 

An Indestructible low Friction Coating is applied to one of two sliding surfaces. If wear life is to be extended, both surfaces can be coated but there are no advantages in terms of lubricity. For example : To provide dry lubrication to a bearing comprising a shaft and journal, the coating would normally be applied to the shaft for reasons of economy and ease of application. The mating surface of the journal should be within a certain tolerance for the optimum wear rate which in general should be 0.2-0.3 microns rms (8-12 micro-ins). Smoother or rougher surfaces outside this tolerance, would give higher wear rates for the same coating.

 

Coatings can be used in conjunction with wet lubrication such as on an internal combustion engine piston to prevent wear or “pick up” at the ends of its stroke when the hydrodynamic oil lubrication no longer protects the moving surfaces. Piston skirts in heavy diesels can also be coated to prevent this kind of wear whilst in high performance racing engines; coatings will reduce friction and increase performance.

 

Easy Application

The application of these coatings is not complicated. They are normally spray coated and heat cured to substrate. Systems are available where lower cure temperatures are needed as with certain plastics. Different surface pre-treatments can also be employed to promote increased wear resistance or higher corrosion protection. Coatings can be either applied on “in house“ O.E.M spray plants or by specialist trade coating companies. These service companies have evolved to provide excellent geographical coverage.

 

Dip-Spin and Bulk Spray Coating

Indestructible Low Friction Coatings are also used for coating small components in bulk, where dip-spin or Quadrant coating techniques are employed. Dip-Spin is used for small fasteners, particularly in the automotive field, where coating has now virtually replaced electro-plating. Quadrant coating is carried out in an automatic bulk spray-coating machine, which provides greater accuracy and flexibility.

 

Economy

 

Indestructible coated surfaces compare and even out perform proprietary dry bearings at a fraction of the cost. By re-engineering the surface properties in terms of surface friction and release with the addition of corrosion protection to the substrate, the designer is able to specify a dry lubricant bearing surface in locations difficult if not impossible for any proprietary bearing. To coat components at still less cost than the use of a bearing shell but with the advantage of providing overall corrosion protection, is a considerable design advantage.

 

Indestructible Low Friction Coatings save the cost of specifying exotic metals and materials to withstand corrosive environments. A dry lubricant, low friction or release coating whilst selected primarily for these mechanical properties will also protect the substrate from corrosion or degradation.

 

Basic metals and plastics selected for strength or resilience is often the most economic and cannot only be maintained in any design but improved by adding surface lubricity. Metals specified for there dimensional stability, toughness or weight, can be protected from corrosion and selectively “surface engineered” to eliminate the need for an extensive design change.

 

For example, hot-dip galvanising can protect B7 stud Bolts, specified for chemical plant and offshore applications. PTFE based coated bolts, over phosphate or plating, have now largely replaced this demanding market. B7 steel has the tensile strength and properties required for undersea and “splash zone” offshore uses but corrode rapidly in those environments. Galvanising gave good corrosion protection but threads had a tendency to gall making it difficult to achieve the design tensions of the bolt and often impossible to disassemble. Stainless steel, ten times more expensive than a coated bolt was one solution. The coated B7 bolt, however, has proved to be the most economical with the added advantage of a thread lubricated permanently to ensure that the design tensions are achieved with ease of “break out” torque.

 

Performance

 

Engineered dry lubricant coatings offer a permanent solution to most lubrication problems.

 

Many materials are used as dry bearings. These range from nylon (polyamide), polyacetal, polyethylene, polyimide, peek and fillers such as Graphite, MoS2, PTFE and combinations all of which are selected for optimum performance at the required load/speed range.

 

Nothing, however, compares with a PTFE filled system where the binder provides the restraint for the relatively soft filler and prevents the cold flow of the PTFE under load. PTFE systems offer the lowest coefficient of dynamic friction with an equally low static coefficient of friction. The measure of a bearing is determined by the durability and consistency of the dynamic coefficient of friction during the life of the coating. This must be constant and bearing failure will occur when friction increases from that constant.

 

Indestructible Low friction Coatings provide combinations of solid lubricants including PTFE and other fluoropolymers in a composite coating designed to restrain and release lubricant consistently throughout the wear life.

 

Solid plastics, used as dry bearings, do not possess the dimensional stability of a coated metal bearing. Moreover, some plastics do not have very high temperature properties, which reduces their bearing capabilities still further. Other plastics can be selected for their high temperature capability but these have poor frictional properties and little inherent lubricity.

 

Friction generates heat, which can cause bearing failure and seizure. Indestructible Low Friction Coatings offer the lowest possible static and dynamic friction for the load and speed characteristics of the bearing condition combined with the highest temperature resistant thermosetting binder systems available.

 

In comparing many materials used as dry bearings, composite bearing shells or sheet, an Indestructible Low Friction Coating selected for the load and speed prevailing, not only compares but often out performs at a fraction of the cost of a proprietary bearing,

Fire Resistant Coatings for Composites

 

Ref. IP117A

 

Indestructible Paint Ltd, Birmingham, recently carried out a laboratory programme to develop a special coatings system that would meet the stringent fire resistance requirements of an Italian aerospace company.

 

Based at Casoria, the company manufacture aircraft engine nacelles, for a number of aircraft types, from 2 mm thick GFPM composite.

 

The specification for these components requires coatings that comply with AC20-135, providing fire protection for five minutes before burn-through.

 

Indestructible Paint’s laboratories had previously carried out comparative tests with its widely used IP9189 intumescent coating (OMAT N0. 7/28B) against a newly developed formulation.

 

The new material, code IP1265, proved to have substantially better thermal barrier characteristics than IP9189 with the added benefit that it did not intumesce as much.

 

In addition, the level of ’char’ was thinner, providing more stability in windy conditions – properties that would be particularly significant for this particular application.

 

Indestructible Paint’s previous experience in this field indicated that it would be necessary to employ a combination of coatings to obtain the desired level of protection.

 

Accordingly, a number of composite test panels, were coated on the weave side (hence the use of a primer-filler), with six different systems each in combination with IP1265.

 

The most successful of these employed:-

 

1 coat IP9064 clear 2 pack epoxy seal coat at 25 microns dry film thickness

1 coat 50015 R2 2 pack epoxy primer-surfacer at 50 microns

1 coat 50019 2 pack epoxy thermal barrier/filler coat at 350 microns

1 coat IP6 2-pack polyurethane finish at 50 microns

Several coats of IP1265 2 pack epoxy thermal intumescent coating were applied prior to the IP6 finishing coat to give a dry film thickness of 1000-1200 microns. This gave a total thickness for the system of at least 1475 microns.

 

This combination showed no burn-through even after ten minutes, twice that required by the specification.

 

Even though the flame temperature was measured at more than 900ºC the inside temperature never exceeded a maximum of 350ºC.

 

As a result of this project, the coatings are now undergoing extended technical assessment and pre-production trials.

Indestructible Paint has been associated with Rolls Royce aero engines since the 1950's through the Rockhard range of products. These are seen in use in such areas as magnesium protection in gearboxes and originally as a turbine blade coating. This is still occasionally seen, but now is often replaced by the latest Indestructible range of products, Ipcote and Sermetal W. As an aero engine manufacturer, Rolls Royce have particularly stringent requirements for products, in such areas as: -

 

High heat,

Erosion,

Corrosion and

Unusual chemical resistance requirements

As a result, it was often the case that there were no commercially available materials from the UK or world-wide industry which Rolls Royce could use to get over problems they had come across. They therefore developed, and still develop, product in their lab to get over the stringent requirements already mentioned. These were then produced in small quantities in their lab to overcome processing problems, or problems on coating in the field.

 

The PL prefix originated from the Rolls Royce Process Laboratory and the NML from the Non Metallic Laboratory. These were produced, as explained, to over come specific problems, but in the early 1980's it was realised that it was becoming less viable to produce these in the laboratory and Rolls Royce set out to find a small paint and coatings manufacturer with the ability to manufacture these products on their behalf and on behalf of Rolls Royce's customers.

 

Indestructible Paint chosen to produce paint for Rolls Royce

Indestructible Paint was chosen, and as they say, the rest is history. These products are now available for sale to all customers and Indestructible Paint has carried on their development often included in the new IP range. We make a wide range of products particularly for the aero engine industry, some of which may be grouped into families.

 

Attrition range of coatings

A good example of this is the attrition range of products, which started off with a multi coat spray application of a Rockhard based product, still used in Japan. This range of materials, 20 or 30 coats thick give a durable coating, which the turbine blade tip could wear. The next logical progression was to go for fewer coats of thicker material. This generated a new range of two part products, trowelled into place, such as EPWA27 and NML58. The latest range of materials is NML46, a thick single part material that is rolled to thickness, and glued in place using NML52 adhesive. As a result, we may well have a range of products, which appear to do the same job. These are simply logical progressions of products as they have been developed, but rather than change engine drawings we keep making very small quantities of these products. There are of course specific reasons for different products known only to the engine manufactures.

 

Indestructible have enhanced the original products...

There are occasionally dual sources of the PL range of products, but in many instances Indestructible Paint have now gone further in their development and actually enhanced the original product to be significantly better. An example of this is PL165, where the Indestructible Paint alternative, IP9134, is a polyimide high temperature coating used for example at high temperatures in the E.F.A gearbox at up to 300°C.

 

Another example is PL101, where the direct alternative made by Indestructible Paint was IP9139, but the new IP9139/R1 (IP9029) has been made superior again. It now contains no lead and in fact goes to 650°C as opposed to the original PL101 and IP9139 which would only go to a maximum of 550°C, after which temperature it started to shatter off. IP9029 is also superior in thick film manufacture and unlike American equivalents such at TT-P-28 also has corrosion resistance and resistance to such items as Skydrol and gear box fluid. The latest generation; IP9029R2 has recently been reformulated; and is lower VOC, and Toluene and Xylene removed, making it suitable for compliance with the latest Pratt and Whitney specs, as well as MSRR 9029.

IP Range LOW VOC DEF 80 - 161 TWO PACK EPOXY COATING SYSTEM

 

IP Code No - IP 2 - Range Interim data sheet 8/7/1998

 

Product Description -

 

The IP2 system of coating is a combination of 3 systems which can be used individually, or all three for total maximum protection. Each of the 3 individual "layers" are stand alone products in their own right. All three are two part, air drying products as follows:

 

a) Pretreatment etch (or wash) primer BSX 32, 

b) Epoxy Strontium Chromate Primer BS2X 33 1998 

c) 2 Part Air Drying Epoxy Finishes

 

2 Part air drying epoxy finish for interior and exterior use. Used by Rolls Royce as both a decorative and protective coating, eg. Matt Black on fan frame composite casings, and an air drying marking paint. Initially available in the range of colours and finishes listed, this range will probably be increased to comply with customer demand. Resistant to abrasion, corrosion and most aircraft operating fluids and chemical, this range is also used for painting instruments and touching up our Textron grey stoving, and Pratt and Whitney Canada stoving engine systems.

 

The system has been designed to reduce confusion and therefore the least number of catalysts and thinners have been incorporated. The mixing ratios of base to catalyst may therefore vary. Released to DTD 5555, MSRR 9064, Def Stan 80-161, similar to MIL 22750, the range is approved by several other aerospace companies.

The full system process is as follows:

 

Applied by spray, but can be brushed. Pot life 8 hours.

 

Etch Primer - air dry for 1 hour prior to over coating.

 

Epoxy Primer - air dry for 4 - 16 hours prior to over coating or flash off for 30 minutes and then stove at 125°C for 1 hour. 

If the primer has been applied more than 72 hours in advance of being over coated, the surface must be wet flatted with 320 grade paper and have an additional light coat of primer applied to ensure the best intercoat adhesion for the system.

 

Top Coats - Apply one double track coat to give a dry film thickness of 20-32 microns. Air dry for minimum 4 hours or flash off for 30 minutes and then stove at 1251C for 1 hour.

 

Full chemical protection is achieved after 7 days.

Protection of Magnesium & Aluminium

 

The Rockhard range of baking and two component cold cure sealants, primers & finishes

Indestructible Paint has been involved for more than 50 years with the development and production of surface coatings to provide corrosion protection for magnesium and aluminium. Our first experience with magnesium was as far back as the 1950's with the introduction of the Rockhard range of coatings, initially for the SRN1 hovercraft and the Westland Wigeon helicopter. These initial coatings were stoving (baking) systems, and still form the basis of the range, albeit with considerable and on going development in the ensuing years.

 

We believe that the American AMS 3132 phenolic based system which appears to be their standard magnesium protection is the fore runner of our Rockhard range of products. This was the technology used for protecting magnesium in the 1940's in the UK, and has been superseded a long while ago. However, some of the thin film principles are still used today in obsolete, but still called for, specifications.

 

As with many other industries, current aerospace prime manufacturers have been formed from the amalgamation of several older companies. As an example Rolls-Royce aero engines includes Hawker-Siddeley and Bristol Aerospace among others. Each of the companies had their own systems for magnesium protection; consequently the Rockhard range includes differing products released to differing specifications to achieve similar results. We still hear references to Glasgow systems, Derby systems, Bristol systems, and even Leavesdon systems.

 

Latest developments have included work on both the traditional baking and cold cure (touch up) ranges, to take account of improved performance requirements, constantly evolving environmental and safety legislation. These new additions are detailed in the listing of products. New work is on-going into low VOC cold cure 2 component systems to give corrosion and protection performance to match the baking products, a development we consider to be particularly exciting. Like all our product ranges, we continue to engineer Rockhard products to meet specific client requirements.

 

Pre-treatment

 

Historically we have worked with commercially available pre-treatments which in the UK have been chromate based. In the USA, there has been a move to chrome free systems, and heavy anodizing and new anodic technologies including HAE, Tagnite, Magoxid and Keronite have been employed. This trend is now being seen throughout the world, and several additional chrome free systems are being introduced. We now believe that there needs to be more synergy between the pre-treatment and the sealing/priming operation, and we can now offer a chrome free immersion pre-treatment system for aluminium. This is undergoing ongoing development to improve the protection on magnesium. Please refer to our Iptreat information leaflet for full details.

 

However, we believe in aerospace applications all pretreatment methods benefit from the use of a full surface treatment system. On magnesium it is our conviction that the use of a penetrative sealant is essential, prior to application of further primers or colour coats. On aluminium, either a chromate, or nowadays more commonly, a chromate free primer is the choice.

 

Rockhard Baking Sealants

There are two basic ranges, both of which are used to successfully seal magnesium & aluminium. However, each have slightly different properties.

 

961 Type

576-450-002-R1 has good high temperature capability; 1000 Hours at 220ºC is a normal test. It is also significantly better for intercoat adhesion for subsequent primer or decorative coats. However, it is less colour stable at temperature, the clear coat going a dark chocolate brown if cured correctly. White versions go a very dark cream/brown when used at elevated temperatures. The latest R-1 version is formulated to be ethyl glycol acetate free.

 

The product is widely used on magnesium helicopter gearbox castings, and is specified by a number of manufacturers such as Sikorsky. It is also used as the sealant on magnesium engine casings, prior to application of decorative colour coats.

 

A recent development, at a specific client behest, is a reduced VOC version, formulated for dip/flow coating application. Utilising latest generation formulation techniques to include reactive diluents, a greater than 25% reduction in VOC’s at application viscosity has been achieved. This is being adopted on aluminium heat exchangers. For further information, request our technical data sheet on IP576-4675.

 

985 Type

985-111-800 clear is slightly more complicated in its application parameters, but it does have some distinct advantages. It is possible to build up quite thick coats by part curing between coats with a final full cure after application of the topcoat. This material then retains its colour better than the 961 grade and can be used as a decorative coating. 985 systems are understood to have slightly better resistance to chemicals used in anodising baths, making this range more suitable when reanodising is part of the production process.

 

Again, a recent development is a toluene free, reduced VOC version (IP985-547) which is now widely specified and used, with approvals from Turbomeca; Messier- Bugatti and Eurocopter.

 

In overhaul situations, it is not always possible to utilise high temperature baking sealants; components to be coated can include several differing metal parts, with resultant differing rates of expansion at elevated temperatures. For these types of application, we have developed a low cure version, which gives technical performance approaching the full baking grade. 985-111-002 has been adopted by McDonnell-Douglas Boeing for use on overhaul of Apache helicopter gearboxes.

 

A commercially available product from this low cure range, IP985-125 is being evaluated in several other aerospace and industrial areas where cure temperatures below 150°C are essential.

 

Rockhard Baking Primers

 

For protection of aluminium, it is possible to utilise a primer system in addition to, or as an alternative to clear sealants. It is also quite common to use a primer over both 576 and 985 sealants on magnesium.

 

The Rockhard primers are based on the 985 system, and have traditionally utilised chromate pigments, well proven as an anti-corrosive system. 700-155-003 has been used in many applications, including on aluminium fan cases on turbine engines. This is still the product specified by Rolls-Royce to MSRR 9226.

 

However, changes in environmental and safety legislation is forcing a move to chrome free systems. This is especially so in Europe and America. Much development work has been conducted into alternative chrome free anti-corrosive pigments; the resulting primer, IP985-6500 also being produced toluene free.

 

The primer has been tested at the Rolls-Royce main test laboratory to give over 6000 hours salt spray performance to ASTM B-117 on aluminium. The product has now been approved and adopted across the Safran group in France and by Eurocopter, where technical performance has actually been improved over the previous chrome containing system.

 

Rockhard Baking Finishes

 

As with Rockhard primers, the range of finishes are based on the 985 system, which ensures colour stability across a wider temperature range.

 

Black gloss (614-150-002), black matt (615-155-001) and aircraft grey gloss (985-000-693) have been used for many years on a variety of projects, including undercarriages, heat exchangers, engine casings and control gear. Normally released to DTD 5562, these products also meet the requirements of MSRR 9226.

 

Mirroring the work conducted with the 985 sealants and primers, an additional range of finishes (IP985 range) is now available with reduced VOC’s and toluene free. A wide colour range is available, and this range has been approved and is in use throughout the Safran group for both aerospace and military applications, and again by Euroopter. This range will of course still meets the requirements of DTD 5562 and MSRR9226.

 

Rockhard baking systems are extremely chemical resistant, very hard and erosion resistant. For example, both systems are still used for coating turbine blades and varying engineering parts in aerospace, military and other high performance applications.

 

Rockhard Cold Cure 2 Component Systems

 

Originally designed as touch up systems for Rockhard baking systems, Rockhard 2 component systems are used where baking/stoving is not desirable or possible, and where good corrosion or chemical resistance is required. By nature of their cold cure capabilities, these products can be used on temperature sensitive substrates, including composites, some plastics, and even wood and asbestos. As such specific products from the range have been used in untypical aerospace applications, including as the primer-filler of composite airframe panels on the HAL DHRUV advanced light helicopter.

 

A range of sealants, primers and finishes is available, in both traditional low solids, high VOC grade and the latest technology low VOC, HAPS solvent free grade. Again, to mirror the work conducted on the baking products, primers containing chromate and non-chromate anticorrosive pigments are available.

 

The products have been approved and are used against a wide range of specifications, including Def-Stan 80- 161(DTD 5555); MSRR 9064; LB568, PWA36568/9 and CPW 714/5.

 

Examples of the ranges include 750-450-004 (clear sealant); IP3-6600 (Low VOC Chromate free primer); 750- 152-009 & 700-155-005 (Gloss & Matt Black finishes), and the IP3 range of low VOC gloss colours.

 

Ongoing development work investigating methods of increasing surface hardness and corrosion and chemical resistance, including nano technology, will, we expect produce a range of cold cure products with equivalent performance characteristics to the baking ranges.

 

We hope this information gives an insight into our technologies for protecting magnesium and aluminium. Full technical details and application and cure information are available on all the products discussed; please ask your usual sales contact at Indestructible for further details.

Rockhard is the name of a range of coatings that is still being developed after 40 years.New uses and markets are still being found for these incredibly versatile chemical and erosion resistant products.

 

STOVING / BAKING PRODUCTS

Rockhard Clear Stoving Enamel - 576-450-002

(to DTD 5562. 444/176 and IP9040 CPMC 79964)

 

Epoxy Phenolic 961

 

This product was designed for the original painting of aircraft 40 years ago, such as the Comet and Westland Wessex. It is so good that it and its variants are still specified today on aircraft such as the Tornado, VC10, Airbus and BAC-111. As a protective coating it is particularly effective on magnesium and aluminium alloys and as such is recommended by Magnesium Electron. It is also used on steel, titanium and other metals. It is highly resistant to weathering and a very wide range of chemicals up to 200ºC (see chart). The original MOD spec required the coating to resist 3 months exposure to distilled water at 60-70ºF, 3 months exposure to humidity (Def 1053 No.25) and 6 months exposure to salt spray (Def 1053 No.36). Rockhard is also very effective at curing microporosity in magnesium and is recommended for surface sealing particularly as protection against chloride ions. It can be centrifuged, sprayed, roller coated or dipped, on magnesium, aluminium, steel or titanium. Approved for use by British Leyland for use on Radiators etc and recently by Toyota. It is also used to coat computer chassis for insulation purposes.

 

Rockhard Clear 985 Stoving Enamel - 985-111-800

(to DTD 5562), Allied Signal FP5109, BMW Rolls Royce.

 

Similar to the 576-450-002, this product is sometime preferred. It is slightly more acid resistant when magnesium is rechromated after machining. Rockhard 985 is high flash, low toxicity and low odour. It also has slightly better colour retention properties, slightly thicker film thickness, but is less tolerant to adverse conditions and application and does not have quite such good intercoat adhesion. 985-111-800 is a good dipping product having been formulated with high flash, low odour solvents, it is also easily sprayed. Both 985-111-800 and 576-450-002 are fully compatible and will not cause problems if mixed. Used by both Allied Signal and Textron, it has most recently been approved by BMW Rolls Royce for use on the BRR 710 gearbox.

The IPCote Range of Sacrificial Aluminium Coatings

 

The Ipcote range of sacrificial aluminium basecoats and sealcoats has been developed and refined over a number of years.

 

The range was originally introduced at the request of Rolls-Royce Aero Engines for use as a high corrosion resistant, high temperature resistant coating for use on compressor blades and allied engine parts as a commercially available alternative to a proprietary range of imported US products.

 

Subsequently, the coating range has been adopted by a large number of additional manufacturers of aero engines and industrial gas turbines, as well as being introduced as a cadmium replacement on undercarriages and fasteners.

 

Initially the range was purely based on inorganic technology, which by their very nature contained both trivalent and hexavalent chrome.

 

The IPCOTE range of products has been developed over a number of years at the request of Rolls Royce aero engines for use on their jet engines. The range has now been adopted by several other jet engine manufacturers, and it is also being used on many industrial gas turbines, as well as being used as a cadmium replacement on under carriages and fasteners.

 

Recent introduction of environmental and safety legislation has highlighted the use of chrome containing products. Whilst the levels of hexavalent chrome in most of the products are minimal, in most cases below all current environmental limits, there are ongoing developments to remove all chrome compounds. We can now offer a single component chrome free coating, based on organic chemistry, and thus containing solvents, which has been tested to Rolls-Royce MSRR 9253. In addition we are testing with clients, a chrome free inorganic basecoat.

 

Basecoats

 

IpcoteIP9183-R1

MSRR 9140; OMat 7/46B; PCS2550; LB598; ITP SMM-903

 

The original sacrificial basecoat. This coating, when applied at film thicknesses of 50 microns will give in excess of 3000 hours corrosion resistance to ASTM B-117.

 

Used as a replacement/alternative to Sermetal W/WFX.

 

Can be cured using a variety of processes, but typically for 1 hour @ 560°C to give a matt grey conductive film, or 1 hour at 350°C, followed by bead peening or polishing, to a bright silver conductive finish. Refer to our Ipcote Application Information Sheet for typical schedules. For application on temperature sensitive alloys, can be cured at temperatures as low as 260°C, but with longer dwell time.

 

IP9183-R1 contains only 37ppm hexavalent chrome.

 

 

Smoothcote IP9442

LB598; CPW88

 

A smooth surface alternative to IP9183-R1, manufactured using smaller particle size aluminium powder. Gives a denser, more erosion resistant product, with similar corrosion protection to IP9183-R1.

 

Is easier to apply and produce smooth surface finishes of typically 20-25µ-inches. Smoothcote is cured in the same way as Ipcote, typically RPS 666/1.

 

Usedas an alternative to Sermetal 962/5380/5380DP. IP9442 contains only 14ppm hexavalent chrome.

 

Ipthin IP9356-R1

MSRR 9356; ITP SMM-919

 

Thin film version of Ipcote, to allow easy application of film thickness of 12-25 microns. This is of use in areas where tolerances are critical, including interference fit joints, flanges, bolts, engine mounts, fasteners and dovetails.

 

Ipthin is processed as standard Ipcote, and is an alternative to Sermetal 709/762/962. Refer to RPS 666/2 for a typical system.

 

Chrome Free Systems

Organic Chrome Free

 

MSRR 9253

 

Originally produced to meet the requirements of Rolls-Royce MSRR9253, first production quantities contained chrome anti-corrosive compounds.

 

Recently reformulated to be totally chrome free. Approved to MSRR 9253, and now under evaluation at Rolls-Royce to MSRR 9140, and by other engine manufacturers as an alternative to chrome containing Ipcote and Sermetal basecoats.

 

To meet the requirements of MSRR 9253, process in accordance with RPS666/3. Can also be processed to RPS666/1 system A to give coatings that pass MSRR9140.

 

Normally used with chrome free organic sealcoats.

 

Inorganic Chrome Free Recently developed product to be supplied as a 2/3 component system for simple mixing before use. Applied and cured as per standard Ipcote IP9183-R1. Currently undergoing application and specification testing with clients throughout the world.

 

Sealcoats

Sealcoats provide an electrically non-conductive barrier coat to the aluminium surface. They have an added benefit of sealing any porosity that may be present in the conductive, sacrificial aluminium basecoat, without detracting from the sacrificial properties. This results in a smoother, harder coating which provides a barrier against carbon deposits, etc, extending the useful life of the coating system. Additionally, the smoother surface enhances airflow characteristics, and therefore engine efficiency.

 

Ipseal IP9184 Green and Khaki

MSRR 9140; OMat 7/168B; LB598; ITP SMM-903; PCS 2550

 

High temperature sealing compound used over Ipcote, Ipthin. For use at temperatures in excess of 600°C. Can also been used as a stand alone product, most recently as a one coat system on titanium to give protection against Skydrol at 250°C.

 

Available in green or khaki, the sealcoat gives a smooth, eggshell finish. Other colours can be manufactured; a black version has been produced for use on agricultural vehicle exhaust systems. Applied and processed typically as per RPS 666/3, to a typical film thickness of 6-8 microns.

 

Used as alternatives to Sermetal 570A. Ipseal contains less than 0.6% hexavalent chrome. Blue and black also available.

 

Smoothseal IP9444

MSRR 3010

 

Very smooth, thin sealcoat, used over either Smoothcote or Ipcote as an alternative to Sermetal 5380/5380DP.
