maximum depth of 0.25” is recommended when using a

Operating Environment
These adhesives offer excellent chemical, electrical and ultra
high thermal resistance, and do not outgas under high vacuum.
The main limitations are (a) relatively low mechanical strength and
(b) slight porosity after curing. Contact Aremco for suggestions

APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be free of oil, grease, dirt, corrosives or
other contaminants before application. Porous metal castings
should be baked at high temperature to burn off embedded
oils. Smooth metal surfaces should be abrasive blasted with
a coarse media to a minimum SP-10 near white blast (0.001”
minimum profile) for best results.

Mixing
All products should be mixed thoroughly to a uniform
consistency prior to use. Product viscosities may be reduced
by adding a maximum of 5–10% by weight of the appropriate
thinner. Thinner may be ordered by adding a “-T” to the product
number (eg. 653-T). The mix ratio for Pyro-Putty® 1000 is 2.0
parts powder to 1.0–1.5 parts liquid by weight. This ratio will
produce the consistency of a thick paste. Pyro-Putty® 1000
will outgas slightly after mixing and it is recommended that

application. Store mixed material at room temperature in a
plastic container that is approximately twice the mixture volume.
Allow to outgas for 24 hours. Remix contents thoroughly prior
to use. Note that mixture will not begin to harden in a closed
container for over 24 hours. Hardening will initiate when
mixture is removed from container and exposed to air.

Application
Pyro-Putty® products may be applied using a spatula, putty
knife or caulk gun. For cross-sections greater than ⅛”–¼”
multiple applications should be made to avoid blistering.
Cross-sections for all products should not exceed ½”–¾” Pyro-Putty® 2400 seals high Pyro-Putty® 2400 seals high

 HIGH TEMPERATURE HIGH EMISSIVITY COATINGS
Technical Bulletin A5-S2

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Aremco’s HiE-Coat™ 840-Series line of high emissivity
coatings are black-body formulations designed to
significantly improve the thermal efficiency of infrared
heaters, furnaces, incinerators, and ovens used throughout
the appliance, ceramics, chemical processing, metallurgical,
and refining industries. Natural gas and oil savings in the
range of 5–10% are typical using these coatings.

High emissivity coatings absorb and re-radiate significantly more radiant

and convective heat than an uncoated burner tube or refractory to a
cooler load. For refractories lined systems, this reduces the amount
of heat stored in the lining which results in less thermal shock and

faster heat-ups result, reducing cycle time and energy costs.

diboride filled, oxidation resistant coating for protecting
graphite crucibles, electrodes, and heat-treating fixtures to
2000 ºF (1093 ºC).

Pyro-Paint™ 634-AL
This high purity alumina, two-part coating seals alumina
fiberboards and shapes to fill porosity and resist molten
metals to 3200 ºF (1760 ºC). Increases heat reflectivity to
improve furnace efficiency by reducing ramp up times.

Pyro-Paint™ 634-ALP
This phosphate-bonded, single-part alumina coating bonds
exceptionally well to dense refractories, providing high
abrasion and corrosion resistance for operating temperatures
to 3200 ºF (1760 ºC).

Pyro-Paint™ 634-AS and 634-AS1

These alumina-silica, single-part coatings increase the
durability of refractory fiberboards by sealing the substrate to
minimize dusting and resist wetting by non-ferrous metals to

 ACCU-COAT™ SCREEN PRINTERS
Technical Bulletin E1

Aremco’s Accu-Coat™ Screen Printers offer the finest

technology for precision screening of electronic components
and other materials up to 24”. Accu-Coat™ printers represent
the best price/performance ratio throughout the industry,
providing the most accurate, reliable and cost effective
solution for your screen printing needs.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
• Co-Fired Ceramic Packages • Thick Film Resistors & Capacitors
• Multilayer Hybrid Circuits • Silicon Solar Cells
• Liquid Crystal Displays • Ceramic Brazing Accu-Coat™ Model 3230-D semi-automatic screen
• SMT Boards • Instrument Panels printer with microprocessor based controls and optic
• Piezoelectric Thick Film Devices • Flexible Circuits alignment system with a maximum 9” x 9” print area.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Print Repeatability
Each Accu-Coat™ Screen Printer is based on a high precision two- or
four-post die set which positions the print head directly above the part.
The print head travels to and from the work in a single axis with a print
repeatability of ±.0003”, guaranteed over millions of cycles. An additional
attribute of this design is that both substrates and tall parts such as
ceramic rings and tubes can be accommodated since a clearance of 6”–8”
between the print head and stage is provided.

Alignment and Registration

Part-to-screen alignment is accomplished using a precision x-y-theta stage
with 2” x-y travel and 360º rotation. The theta adjustment is centered to
the stage as opposed to competitive models which pivot the part about a Vidalign™ 129-131 Optic Alignment System.
corner requiring multiple x-y adjustments before setup is complete.

A low cost optic alignment system is also offered. With this option, during
setup the ink is first printed on a sheet of mylar which is supported by an
adjustable metal frame above the substrate. The operator then aligns the
fixtured board to the printed pattern on the mylar sheet using the stage
controls. A 10x or 20x magnification camera and monitor system is also
provided to enhance the image when making critical alignments required
for fine-pitch SMT boards or hybrid circuits. Multi-camera and split-monitor
alignment systems are also available.

On & Off-Contact Printing

Both screens and stencils can be utilized with the Accu-Coat™ printers.
Screens are used for off-contact printing where the squeegee deflects the
screen in order to contact the substrate. Stencils are used for on-contact
printing in which case the stencil is in direct contact with the substrate. In both Accu-Coat™ Model 3230-B bench-top screen printer.
on- and off-contact printing, the distance between the screen or stencil and
the substrate is controlled easily to within .0005” using a “Z-stop” mechanism.

Controls
Accu-Coat™ screen printers are truly simple machines to operate. The user
interfaces with the equipment through an easy-to-use control panel which
provides five modes of operation. All modes are pre-programmed into a
microprocessor. Modes include setup, print-flood, flood-print, and single
and double print with paste hopover.
