High Temperature Ablative Coating

Hi-Tac is a versatile, lightweight, reinforced elastomeric coating developed for the aerospace industry that can be used as a thermal protection system in high continuous temperature regimes or as an ablative liner for applications where temperatures in excess of 2000°C are encountered.

The coating is a 2-part system which can be easily mixed, poured and sprayed at any thickness and cures to a firm, flexible coating at room temperature. The cured coating possesses superior thermal barrier characteristics such as low thermal conductivity, high specific heat capacity and good ablation and char characteristics. Excellent adhesive characteristics to metallic and composite components can be achieved by using a primer coat.

Hi-Tac is available in different viscosity grades to suit spray, cast and trowel application methods.
