itc on thermocouple?

I've been watching this thread -- can't help but ask....

Why would ITC be good on a thermocouple? If it's the greatest-ever
insulator (reflector), etc. -- wouldn't it interfere with the thermocouple's
accuracy?

ITC 213 is not an "insulator (reflector)"
It is designed as a METAL coating unlike ITC100HT which is
designed for refractories. So, the 213 will prevent metal deterioration
when heated, eliminate flaking and NOT interfere with function.
--hope this helps your understanding, Nils

It's not an insulator. The thermocouple doesn't care whether it's
surrounded by air or a ceramic-like material.

I thought Nils suggestion sounded great, but this makes me wonder. Does
anybody out there have any more thoughts on this subject?
