High temperature, Silicone air-drying coating, heat resistant to 600°C

Excellent adhesion and great elasticity. Very easy to apply, for items subjected to high-temperature operating conditions.

Colours

Available in many different black, grey and metallic versions. The gloss level is consistently low, never exceeding 15.

Uses

It has been popular as a topcoat with leading heating brands for more than fifteen years, used on stoves, fires and accessories.

It’s widely used in large chemical plants, in oil refinery towers, for cement industry premises and fabrications, and for car and motorcycle silencers and exhaust tips.

Performance

The product’s main features are:

• heat resistance certified by the manufacturer
• superior adhesion to a variety of metals
• excellent elasticity
• good chemical resistance after baking at 200°C

Treatment of surfaces to be coated

Metals like steel and aluminium do not require any special pretreatment. Make sure the surface is thoroughly clean, with no traces of dirt, grease or dust.

To promote adhesion in general, and especially when dealing with metals that have a particularly smooth and reflective surface, it’s best to blast the substrate with fine grit or otherwise scuff the surface by brushing or sanding.

Application

Apply by spraying only, with airmix or airless equipment; electrostatic spraying is also an option. Use spray nozzles measuring between 1.2 and 1.7 mm and air pressure set to 3-4 bar.

It must be applied in a very thin film, not to exceed 40 microns. Air-dries quickly at ambient temperature.
