INFRALIT SI 8009-05

Zinc silicone powder

  • Corrosion protective
  • Heat resistant
  • Powder coating

INFRALIT SI 8009-05 is a powder coating based on solid silicone resin. The silicone resin gives the powder a very good resistance to heat. At elevated temperature the powder will melt, cure and form the final paint film. INFRALIT SI 8009-05 contains also metallic zinc, which gives the powder good anticorrosive properties.

INFRALIT SI 8009-05 is mainly suitable for use on steel surfaces blast-cleaned to preparation grade Sa 2½, when the constructions will be exposed to severely corrosive environments and high temperatures. In order to achieve good protection against corrosion INFRALIT SI 8009-05 needs to be overcoated with INFRALIT SI 8009-02 powder coating or comparable heat-resisting paint. The powder also has good weather resistance properties and can therefore be used both indoors and outdoors. INFRALIT SI 8009-05 forms a heat resistant paint film that has good anticorrosive properties. INFRALIT SI 8009-05 can be used at temperatures up to 600°C. Due to the special property of this product the mechanical properties are not on a par with those of conventional powders. With this product we recommend using a fluidization hopper. Especially when INFRALIT SI 8009-05 zinc silicone powder is used as a primer in painting system P242b, the paint film needs to be completely cured. If the powder is not cured completely adhesion between primer and top coat may be diminished.
