X-900™ Metallic Impregnating Sealant

X-900 Metallic Impregnating Sealant Is Recommended For Large Castings.

 

Benefits

  • Designed for On-Site Large Casting Impregnation
  • Sodium Silicate Solution with Finely Divided Micro-Mesh Iron and Mineral Oxides
  • Use on Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Alloy Castings
  • Impregnate using Vacuum/Pressure or Circulatory Method

 

What is X-900 Solution

X-900 is a suspension of finely divided micro-mesh iron and mineral oxides in a base solution of sodium silicate material. The basic sodium silicate solution is compounded in a manner to provide a quick-filming action that will result in a short cure cycle of 8 to 24 hours at room temperature.

 

Application

Designed for on-site impregnation of large, porous ferrous and nonferrous alloy castings.

 



Procedure

Vacuum/pressure, internal pressure or circulatory method.
