High temperature, Baked clear coating heat resistant to 500°C

High temperature, Clear coating heat resistant to 500°C for oven baking at 200°C.

Gloss finish for metal exposed to high working temperatures; excellent adhesion and very flexible.

High chemical resistance to hydrocarbons and weather resistance.

Colours

Comes in just one colour: clear with high gloss finish.

Uses

It is mostly used in the car, motorcycle and marine industries as a clear heat-resistant coating for exhaust manifolds, silencers, exhaust tips and engines.

It has been put to the test in scientific applications for the protection of electronic measuring instruments with positive results.

Performance

This coating owes its success to:

• heat resistance certified by the manufacturer
• superior elasticity
• great chemical resistance
• excellent transparency, even at very high temperatures

Treatment of surfaces to be coated

Common metals with non-reflective surfaces usually just need a good clean and degreasing to remove any residual dirt, grease, dust or machining swarf.

Any metals with a smoother surface are best tackled by abrasive blasting with a fine grit or sanding to promote better adhesion.

Application

Apply by spraying only, with normal airmix or airless spray equipment. Use spray nozzles measuring between 1.0 and 1.5 mm and air pressure set to 3-4 bar.

The ideal thickness is approx. 30 microns; you are strongly advised not to exceed 50 microns. The coating should be oven baked for at least 45 minutes at a temperature no lower than 180°C.
