New Ceramacoat 512N Insulates High Temperature Resistors

Valley Cottage, NY - Ceramacoat 512N, a new high-temperature, ceramic-based, electrically-insulating compound by Aremco Products, Inc., is now used to insulate high power resistors.

Ceramacoat 512N is a silica-based ceramic compound ideal for insulating circuit breakers as well as a wide range of high temperature electrical components including resistors, heaters, electrical feed-thrus, PTC devices, rheostats, and temperature sensors. Material properties include a temperature resistance of 2400°F (1316°C); dielectric strength of 250 volts per mil; volume resistivity of 109; and excellent moisture and chemical resistance.

Ceramacoat 512N is a single-part paste that can be easily dispensed thru manual syringes or pressurized dispensing equipment. Set time is 4-6 hours at room temperature followed by curing at 200°F and 300°F for 1-2 hours, respectively. Cured material exhibits low shrinkage and low closed porosity. Uncured material can be cleaned up easily with warm water and soap.

Ceramacoat 512N is available from stock in pint, quart, and containers.
