i think nils will be more detailed in the explanation.
but, as feriz has told us:
`itc makes a new material called ceramo-metal.
the bonding of the itc and the metal makes it much
stronger.`
very few vendors will use itc.
they are frightened. just a fact.
and many have guessed what it is, and have tried
to copy it...no one comes close.
it works, and is very controversial, as they
do not understand it. and, feriz holds the key.
it is not patented, it is proprietary. even as good
friends that feriz, mel and nils are, he would never let
us in his factory. i am sure we could figure it out fast just by looking.
i was in feriz' car, in his factory parking lot in florida...he
said...`for sure, `you`
can never go in there`.
this product is used widely in industry. they don't care
how or why...it just works and saves them gobs of money.
alcoa uses it on all their furnaces...the u.s. military
uses it on all their furnaces(experimental weapons, metals etc,
huge projects). nasa uses it on their launch
pads. feriz has made millions of dollars on this invention..but a
single potter who knows nothing will say `boy
this is controversial, and i don't want to use it...` so be it.
feriz does not care at all if potters use it, and buy a pint at a time.
it wastes his time and costs him money. he sells it in 5 gallon pails.
100 pails at a time. he sure will not waste his time arguing about
it.
the coating that itc 213 puts on ma-lib-neeum electric
rods makes them work ten times longer. they cost like
a grand a piece. think of adding a factor of ten to
their life. and, you have 25 rods in your industrial electric furnace.
(remember, that almost everything made in the world gets heat
treated. furnaces are big business. my god, think of what
general mills spends each year to bake wheaties?)
so, nils and i have used it over and over on many applications.
feriz has donated gallons of it me to run experiments. we have
worked it hard. coated everything. it works well. it is not
magic, or the end of the world. it is a thermal coating...if used,
applied correctly, it is a great product. it is about a thin coating,
bonded to fiber, soft brick or metal. it does nothing to hard brick.
the best use we have found is coating a fiber lining of a kiln.
no air born fiber. it seals it.
i use it on flue liners. they last ten times longer.
we use itc 213 on all metal coils, thermo couples etc.
they live forever.
so, use it and save, bitch about it all one wants. you will
look the fool.
