How Does TCC works?
Sheet metal used in the construction of Oven (Firing zone & Main Oven) is
Generally Mild Steel which has the general Emissivity of 0.20 – 0.32, which means if 100 unit of Heat is Imparted on MS sheet only 20-32% of Heat is Reradiated back in the process, and rest radiation heat is transferred to the insulation. When TCC is applied on Internal Mild Steel Metal Sheet which has got the emissivity of 0.92, which means if 100 unit of Heat is Imparted on TCC Coated MS sheet 92 % of Heat is Reradiated by the TCC Coated MS Sheet back in the process, and rest radiation heat is transferred to the insulation, thereby improving the Heat Reradiating Property of MS Metal Sheets.
Temperature Range of TCC
200 deg.c to 1800 deg.c.
Is there any different product for Firing zone & Main Oven.
Yes. For Firing zone where temperature is maintained at higher temperature i.e. more than 400 deg.c, TCC 600 is best suitable Energy Saving Coating, & for Main Oven where temperature is maintained aroun 200-220 deg.c, TCC 400 is best suitable for this area.

What is the effect of TCC on Jobs processed in Furnaces, does TCC has some adverse effect on the quality of the Jobs Processed, is there any deformation, dust, any reaction happen on it ?
TCC doesn’t contain free silicon bonds, so there is no question of reaction with the coating, moreover it contains ceramic material which is non reactive in nature. During Baking/Curing of TCC, it forms a strong bond with the Refractory Brick/ Ceramic Modules (sintering happens during curing at high temperature due to presence of convertible medium of specialized resins). After curing TCC forms a nonreactive surface which doesn’t react with furnace atmospheric gases.
How much is the life of TCC?
The general life of TCC is around 5 years, only to maintain the durability & efficacy of TCC our technical executive inspect the Furnace every 2 years to check the performance of TCC.
What happens after 5 years of application of TCC?

How much Shell temperature can be dropped by applying TCC on internal as well as externally on a furnace?
From 10% to 40% Shell Temperature of Furnace can be dropped by applying TCC on internal as well as on external surface.
Is there any increased life of Refractory Bricks after applying TCC on Refractory Bricks?
Yes, after curing TCC applied on Refractory bricks which forms a nonreactive surface, doesn’t react with the atmospheric gases present in the furnace. It has been found that the TCC Coated Refractory brick, it’s life has been found to be increased by atleast 5 years, which helps not only to save a lot of precious energy but also decreases the downtime of the process.
Why should one apply TCC Coatings inside and outside the furnaces?
Any type of heating is a specialized process where desired characteristic of a processed job is achieved. Furnace is the equipment where maximum thermal Energy is consumed and it’s efficiency plays an important part in the Profits of any organization. Maximum Thermal Energy is used in this process, which apart from generating precious thermal energy to heat the equipment also generates tonnes of Co2 Emissions. Over the years only normal high temperature paints were used in the external shell of Ovens and Furnaces which are very ineffective in stopping Radiation heat losses radiating from the equipement. So there was immediate need of specialized Paints/Coatings to stop not only radiation heat from the heating equipment but also save money for the clients which increases profit of the organization. Emissivity of Aluminium Paints is around .3 t 0.4 while Emissivity of Thermo Ceramic Coatings is around 0.92 which is very essential for stopping radiation energy losses from the heating equipment.
Shall we have to decrease process temperature?
You have to optimize process temperature because of speed up in heat generation and have to set upon your requirement of Process temperature required for proper baking of the Powder Coated Jobs.
Any Case studies for Furnaces?
