Corro Therm CT-33 GX2
Corro Therm CT-33 GX2 is for use on exhaust headers and is formulated to provide a shiny chrome appearance when properly burnished and also to protect ferrous alloys from both high temperature heat oxidation and at the same time offer sacrificial (cathodic) protection to the base metal.

- Usage
Because of CT-33 GX2's high temperature capabilities, it offers excellent protection when exposed to cyclic high temperature and corrosive salt environments, continuing to provide sacrificial properties at temperatures to 1150°F. Although a ceramic coating, it combines thermal stability, excellent adhesion and hardness, along with good flexibility, a property not found in most ceramic coatings. As mentioned above it offers salt corrosive protection to 1150°F. At about 1200°F. the aluminum oxidizes to a point where it no longer provides its excellent sacrificial properties, however, it will continue to offer excellent heat oxidation continuously to 1600°F, and in some cases, depending on metal substrate, has offered heat oxidation protection to 2200°F. Tests have been conducted using low carbon steel alloys. There was no loss of weight after several weeks continuous exposur to heat 1000°F. After exposure to 5% salt spray for 1000 hours, there was no evidence of corrosion. Further, the coating formed from CT-33Gx2 composition offers superb thermal shock resistance. The coated metal will not crack, spall, or fail after shocking from 1100°F to room temperature repeatedly. The coating formed from CT-33 Gx2 composition has properties vastly superior to those of organic paints and coatings. Specifically, the film formed from CT-33 GX2 coating composition offers greater protective properties in combination of heat, weathering, corrosion, and oxidation resistance than organic paints and is lighter in weight and more flexible than most ceramic coatings.

- Precaution
Contains aluminum metal powder, phosphate and dichromate. Normal precautions should be taken for handling of acidic materials. Avoid ingestion. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Avoid inhalation of spray mist and contact with eyes. In case of eye contact flush immediately with plenty of water and consult a physician. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. For skin contact flush with plenty of water. When spraying, a suitable exhaust system should be used. If spray mist is not completely removed from air, a suitable respirator should be used such as #9910 manufactured by 3M Co., or an equivalent type. In case of spill, use absorbing material to soak up and neutralize with sodium bicarbonate. Do not use strong alkalis. Then flush with water.
