Rockhard Clear Stoving Enamel has proved its worth over 4
decades as one of the best protective coatings for metals to
erosion, corrosion, including salt water and chemical resistance at
elevated temperatures particularly on Aluminium and Magnesium
and as such is recommended by Magnesium Electron, the leading
supplier of Magnesium in the UK. The R1 version of 576-450-002
removes an environmentally unacceptable solvent from the wet
coating. The dry film remains identical to the previous version.
Rockhard is used in many industries, For example Volvo air intakes,
coating turbine blades, computer chassis for insulation purposes,
heat exchangers and radiators where it has enabled Aluminium to
replace Copper in some applications. It is acknowledged as a
leading product for curing micro-porosity used on engine blocks and
turbo pipes etc.
Its history includes protection of the Magnesium skins of the
Westland Wessex Helicopter and parts of the Comet Jet liner. Since
then it has been widely used in the aircraft industry where maximum
protection is needed on Aluminium, Steel, Titanium and
Magnesium, and in marine and other harsh environments.
Approvals include: Sikorsky for use on their AH 60 helicopter,
McDonnell Douglas on their MD 500 range, and Pratt and Whitney
Canada on their PT6, PT100, and 4000 range. In February 1995,
GE approved this material for use on the F110 gearbox housing.
The most recent approval has been by Parker Hannifin (Nicholls
Aircraft Division) on the G 4461
model.
