High-Temperature Coating up to 760 °C: CP4000-S2-HT Protects Metal and Technical Surfaces from Extreme Heat

Fire- and heat-resistant silicone glass-ceramic coating from KAGER for industrial high-temperature applications

When conventional paints and coatings reach their thermal limits, specialised high-temperature coatings are required. With CP4000-S2-HT, KAGER offers a powerful fire- and heat-resistant silicone glass-ceramic coating designed for the long-term thermal protection of technical surfaces. The black one-component coating withstands continuous operating temperatures of up to 760 °C and also provides excellent resistance to thermal cycling.

Dietzenbach, Germany, August 2026 – High process temperatures, rapid temperature changes and continuous thermal exposure can place extreme demands on metal components, industrial equipment and technical surfaces. Conventional silicone resin paints and powder coatings often reach their performance limits under these conditions.

For demanding high-temperature applications, KAGER Industrieprodukte offers CP4000-S2-HT, a specialised silicone glass-ceramic high-temperature coating. Once cured, the one-component system forms a temperature-resistant protective layer suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Continuous high-temperature protection up to 760 °C

CP4000-S2-HT is designed to withstand continuous temperatures of up to 760 °C (1,400 °F). Its thermal cycling resistance extends to as much as 981 °C (1,798 °F).

This makes the coating particularly suitable for components and surfaces exposed not only to high operating temperatures but also to repeated heating and cooling cycles.

The coating can be used as a thermal protective barrier for suitable technical surfaces, components and assemblies. High-temperature surface protection can help protect thermally stressed components, extend service life and reduce maintenance requirements.

Choosing the appropriate high-temperature coating can therefore contribute to improved process reliability, equipment availability and long-term product quality.

High-temperature coating for a wide range of industries

CP4000-S2-HT can be used across numerous industries and technical applications. KAGER supplies this specialised high-temperature coating for applications including:

Removable KAGER Mounting Adhesives Simplify Temporary Component Fixing

Securely position components, move them through manufacturing or testing processes and then remove the bond without leaving residues: the specialty mounting adhesives from the KAGER Adhesive Line are designed specifically for temporary bonding applications. Available in five versions with thermal flow points ranging from 49 °C to 150 °C, they provide a practical alternative to mechanical fixtures, clamping devices and complex mounting systems.

Mounting adhesives for temporary and removable bonds

Conventional industrial adhesives are generally designed to create strong and permanent bonds. KAGER removable mounting adhesives follow a different principle: they are used to temporarily fix and accurately position components for a defined period of time.

Typical applications include:

  • Prototype manufacturing
  • Model and sample construction
  • Testing technology
  • Test bench construction
  • Pre-assembly
  • Design and product development
  • Temporary fixing during manufacturing and machining processes

Components can therefore be held in position without requiring complex mechanical assembly followed by subsequent disassembly.

Five versions with flow points from 49 °C to 150 °C

KAGER supplies these specialty adhesives in stick form and in five different versions. Depending on the grade, their thermal flow points range from 49 °C to 150 °C.

The mounting adhesive is heated before being applied to the required surface.

It can be used for temporary fixing on:

  • Ceramic surfaces
  • Glass
  • Metal surfaces

After application, the adhesive develops good adhesion and bonding strength, enabling components to remain securely positioned during subsequent operations.

Fix, process and transport components – then release the bond

One of the key characteristics of KAGER mounting adhesives is their reversibility. Bonded components can pass safely through different stages of a production or testing process or be transported between individual processing stations.

When the temporary bond is no longer required, it can be deactivated by reheating.

The special formulation is designed to protect sensitive surfaces, while the mounting adhesive can be removed without leaving residues after use.

This makes the technology particularly suitable wherever a bond is required only during specific manufacturing, testing, development or presentation stages.

Cost-effective alternative to clamping fixtures and profile systems

Temporary component fixing often requires mechanical aids such as clamps, frames, holders or profile systems. These solutions can require additional space and may involve considerable design effort and cost.

KAGER temporary mounting adhesives provide a straightforward and cost-effective alternative. Depending on the application, additional mechanical fastening components can be avoided.

Another advantage is that the adhesive does not interfere with the visual appearance of a pre-assembled component. This makes the mounting adhesives suitable for presentations, design models and trade fair exhibits as well.

Key benefits of KAGER mounting adhesives

  • Temporary and removable component fixing
  • Five versions for different requirements
  • Thermal flow points from 49 °C to 150 °C
  • Suitable for ceramic, glass and metal surfaces
  • Applied by heating
  • Good adhesion and bonding properties
  • Bond released by reheating
  • Residue-free removal
  • Designed to protect sensitive surfaces
  • No complex mechanical assembly and disassembly required
  • Cost-effective alternative to profile systems and clamping fixtures
  • Suitable for prototypes, testing, test benches and pre-assembly

Specialty adhesives from the KAGER Adhesive Line

The removable mounting adhesives form part of the KAGER Adhesive Line, a product range aimed particularly at design engineers, product developers, production specialists and maintenance professionals.

In addition to mounting adhesives, the Adhesive Line includes a selection of industrial adhesives, repair compounds and potting compounds for demanding technical applications, including products for operating temperatures of more than 500 °C.

Pressure Measurement Film for Precise Pressure Distribution Analysis

Visualizing Surface Pressure Quickly, Precisely and Cost-Effectively

Accurate pressure distribution measurement is essential in many industrial applications. Uneven surface pressure can lead to production defects, premature wear, leakage problems or reduced product quality.

Pressure measurement films from Kager Industrieprodukte GmbH provide a fast, precise and economical solution for visualizing pressure distribution across contact surfaces.

These highly sensitive pressure indicating films offer a cost-effective alternative to complex electronic pressure measurement systems and are ideal for industrial quality control, process optimization and laboratory applications.


How Pressure Measurement Films Work

Pressure indicating films visualize applied pressure through a color-changing reaction. The intensity of the color directly corresponds to the amount of pressure applied.

Single-Layer Pressure Film

In the single-layer version, color-filled microcapsules and a developer are integrated into one film layer. Under pressure, the capsules burst and create a visible color reaction.

The color intensity allows the applied surface pressure to be evaluated quickly and easily.

Two-Sheet Pressure Film

In the two-sheet version, the first layer contains microcapsules of different sizes. Under pressure, these capsules rupture and release a reactive liquid that interacts with the color-developing layer of the second sheet.

This creates a pressure-dependent red coloration that enables highly precise pressure analysis, especially in lower pressure ranges.


Evaluating the Pressure Measurement

The color intensity is evaluated using a calibrated color scale and pressure-density diagram.

Step 1: Temperature and Humidity Correction

Environmental conditions such as temperature and relative humidity are first considered to determine the correct pressure response curve.

Step 2: Determining Color Density

The developed coloration is compared with a standard color scale to determine the density value.

Step 3: Calculating the Pressure Value

Using the selected curve and density value, the actual pressure in MPa or N/mm² can be determined.

The resulting force can then be calculated by multiplying the pressure by the colored contact area.


Available Pressure Ranges

Our pressure measurement films cover a wide range of applications:

Film TypeMeasuring Range
Ultra Super Low Pressure0.2 – 0.6 N/mm²
Super Low Pressure0.5 – 2.5 N/mm²
Low Pressure2.5 – 10 N/mm²
Medium Pressure10 – 50 N/mm²
High Pressure50 – 130 N/mm²
Super High Pressure130 – 300 N/mm²

The films provide a high spatial resolution of up to 0.1 mm.
