Heat Resistant Paints
Heat resistant paints are special for their ability to resist the effects of temperatures over a couple hundred degrees Fahrenheit. These effects include embrittlement, peeling, color change and outgassing. The special resins and pigments mean these paints can tolerate higher temperatures than standard enamels,
As the temperature tolerance goes up the colors become more and more limited and because much of the equipment that might require these paints are associated with smoke and fire, black pigment is mostly to keep a cleaner appearance.
High Heat paints do not have special primers but the prep must be very good to excellent with the best service over new or white metal blasted steel. |
