KelviCoat .
Premium Boron–Titanium Ladle Shield engineered for 5,000+ shots, featuring aerospace-grade boron nitride.
Stop burning cash on daily re-coating. KelviCoat is the industry's first ultra-endurance ladle shield, engineered with a proprietary fusion of Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) and Nano-Titanium Dioxide. While standard coatings fail under thermal stress, our 'White Graphite' technology creates a slip-plane barrier that molten aluminum simply cannot grip. The result A single brush application delivers over 5,000 clean pours. At a calculated cost of just ₹0.0078 per shot, KelviCoat doesn't just protect your ladles—it slashes your consumable budget by 90% starting month one. Don't just coat it; armor it.

Technical Overview
KelviCoat is a premium ladle refractory coating harnessing the power of Hexagonal Boron Nitride and Nano-Titanium Dioxide. Designed for cost-conscious foundries, it offers a verified cost-per-shot of just ₹0.0078 by extending coating life to over 5,000 cycles. Its thermally activated ceramic matrix creates a non-wetting, aerospace-grade barrier that eliminates aluminum soldering and reduces annual consumable spend by up to 90%.

Why KelviCoat Delivers Results
Engineered for performance, validated by 100+ foundries worldwide
ROI in 60 Days
Stop paying ₹0.50 per pour on cheap washes that flake off. KelviCoat's extended lifespan drives your cost down to a microscopic ₹0.0078 per shot. A typical foundry saves ₹1,150-₹6,150 per ladle, per year. The math is undeniable.
Power of Boron Nitride (hBN)
We utilize premium Hexagonal Boron Nitride—the 'White Graphite' used in aerospace heat shields. This creates a hyper-slick surface with a contact angle >150°, ensuring molten aluminum beads up and rolls off without ever sticking.
Titanium Dioxide Armor
While others use cheap fillers, we fortify our matrix with Nano-Titanium Dioxide. This provides diamond-like hardness and extreme thermal reflectivity, protecting your cast iron ladle from erosion even at 800°C.
Zero-Downtime Application
Forget complex spray rigs or overnight curing. Brush KelviCoat onto a hot ladle (150°C-200°C), and our thermally-activated binder cures in just 20 minutes. You're back in production before the coffee break is over.
5,000+ Shot Durability
Engineered for the marathon, not the sprint. Thanks to our Zircon-reinforced lattice structure, a single coating survives 5,000 to 7,000 thermal cycles. That's 3+ months of worry-free casting from one bucket.
Self-Cleaning Technology
The unique tribological properties of our Boron-Titanium blend prevent oxide buildup. Skulls and slag simply fall away, eliminating the need for aggressive hammering that damages your ladles.
Ladle Coating for Aluminum & Die Casting
KelviCoat is a ladle coating for aluminum foundries, HPDC, and die casting. It also performs as a ladle coating for metal casting lines where clean pours and stable heat cycles matter.
Anti-Sticking & Anti-Wetting Protection
This anti-sticking ladle coating is engineered to prevent aluminum sticking to the ladle. The ladle coating anti-wetting barrier helps stop ladle metal buildup, reduce ladle maintenance cost, and deliver long life industrial ladle dressing results.
Boron Nitride Ladle Paste at 800°C
KelviCoat is a boron nitride ladle coating using white graphite (hBN) and titanium dioxide reinforcement. It performs as a high temperature ladle coating and refractory ladle paste rated for 800°C service.
The 20-Minute Transformation
How to get Aerospace Protection in your foundry
Heat & Prep
Pre-heat your clean ladle to roughly 150°C - 200°C. This step is vital—it prepares the cast iron pores to accept the nano-particle bond. A quick wire brushing ensures a pristine surface.
Technical Note:The heat activates the initial phase of our proprietary binder, ensuring deep substrate adhesion.
Brush The 'White Gold'
Apply KelviCoat directly from the bucket. The thixotropic paste spreads like butter but won't sag. The Titanium Dioxide ensures immediate opacity so you can see coverage instantly.
Technical Note:No mixing or dilution needed. Our suspension technology keeps the heavy Zircon and Titanium particles perfectly distributed.
Thermal Cure
Let it sit for 20 minutes at temperature. Watch as the coating turns from grey to a brilliant white. This color shift indicates the Boron Nitride structure has locked into place.
Technical Note:This 'flash cure' creates a ceramic-metallic interlock that is far stronger than traditional air-dried washes.
Run 5,000 Shots
Put it into production. The non-wetting barrier repels attack immediately. You won't need to touch this ladle again for months.
Technical Note:Monitor the white coating. As long as it's white, the Boron Nitride is protecting your iron.
The Boron-Titanium Synergy
KelviCoat represents a paradigm shift in refractory chemistry. Standard coatings rely on simple physical separation. KelviCoat utilizes a 'Synergistic Nano-Matrix.' We suspend platelets of Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN)—atomically similar to graphite but chemically inert—within a rigid lattice of Rutile Titanium Dioxide and Zircon. When applied to a hot substrate, our proprietary thermally-activated binder fuses these elements into a dense, non-porous shield. The Titanium Dioxide provides the structural 'skeleton' to resist the abrasive flow of molten metal, while the Boron Nitride acts as the 'skin,' offering a super-hydrophobic surface with near-zero chemical affinity for Aluminum. This dual-action mechanism prevents the formation of intermetallic compounds (soldering) and halts corundum growth at the atomic level, delivering lifespan metrics that traditional silicate washes simply cannot physically achieve.
