The invention discloses a special coating for pulverous expendable pattern casting and casting iron, and the special coating comprises 60-70 percent of 180-200 mesh refractory materials, 2.0-3.0 percent of suspending agent, 1.5-2.5 percent of adhesive, 0.3-0.6 percent of organosilicon defoamer, 0.01-0.03 percent of preservative agent and 180-200 mesh residual mica powder in balancing amount. When the special coating is prepared, various pulverous materials are weighed according to the required proportion, interposed into the powder stirrer in sequence to stir for 20 to 40 minutes at a low speed and then discharged and packed. When the coating is used, appropriate water is interposed into the stirred vessel by the powder-to-water ratio of 1 to (1.1-1.4). After the stirred vessel is turned on, the powder coating weighed is interposed in batches. The coating is utilized after preparing into slurry; therefore, the special coating has the advantages of good suspension property, high intensity, uniform coating, good thixotropy, good leveling property, glabrous surface, no bubbles, no cracks and the like. Moreover, the user can adopts the dip-coating method, the hang-coating method and the brush-coating method, the viscosity change of coating materials can be decided upon the demands of the user, and different viscosities can realize different coating thicknesses.
