A coating composition for applications at temperatures higher than 1200 degrees C. comprises (a) between 80.0 and 99.9 wt. % of unstabilized zirconia; and (b) between 0.1 and 5.0 wt. % of a liquid phase former which is solid at ambient temperature and either melts or reacts, or decomposes to form a liquid phase above a temperature not lower than 1000 degrees C.; wherein the wt. % are expressed in terms of total solid weight of the coating composition at room temperature. A refractory element that may be made of a carbon bonded refractory comprises a coated surface comprising a first coating of the coating composition as defined above. |
