Saint-Gobain Innovative Materials Magnesium Aluminate #170

Saint-Gobain powders deliver the best spray performance and value for all types of applications involving wear and corrosion resistance, thermal insulation, and electrical insulation. These powders are used successfully throughout the aerospace, automotive, printing, textile, chemical and wear-resistance industries. Powders are manufactured using several different techniques, including agglomeration, sintering, fusion and plasma densification. Customers parts have longer life, operate at higher temperatures, produce lower emission, yield high dielectric strength and are ultimately more economical in the marketplace.

Saint-Gobain’s #170 is a white fused magnesium aluminate powder that is blocky in shape. This powder produces high thermal shock resistant coatings that are suitable for the re-surfacing of parts. These coatings resist wetting by liquid aluminum, making #170 powders ideal for resurfacing molds, ladles, ladle plugs, ladle lips & other furnace parts. The product is also used for coating oxygen sensors to protect against gas erosion with controlled permeability.

Saint-Gobain Coating Solutions offers Spinel thermal spray powders that yield coatings with excellent thermal shock resistance. These coatings provide exceptional protection against gas erosion, and are ideal for oxygen sensors, re-surfacing molds, ladle parts & other furnace components.
