High Temperature Resistant Paint

Product Function

High Temperature Resistant Paint is an air drying silicone based paint specifically formulated to enable the dried film to tolerate high temperatures of up to 760°C. A particular feature of the high temperature range of products is their excellent resistance to 'thermal shock' combined with excellent petrol/oil resistance. At temperatures of up to 300°C, there is virtually no decomposition of the silicone binder. Above 300°C, the silicone is gradually driven off without charring or flaking of the paint. From 300 to 760°C, the finish is still efficient because the pigment film sinters on to the surface.

Surface Preparation and Application

Any metal surface that is to be coated with High Temperature Resistant Paint must first be thoroughly degreased and ensured free of millscale, corrosion patches; any of which will seriously impair the final film. Do not use primers.
High Temperature Resistant Paint may be either sprayed or brushed on, but as with all metallic finishes, a superior result will be obtained by spraying. To attain the highest possible resistance to the rigours of high temperature work, use two thin coats in preference to one thick coat.
