Special high temperature, rough textured-effect air-drying finish, heat resistant to 600°C

Superior adhesion and great elasticity.

Colours

Can be produced in many different shades of black and grey, including metallic versions, with a degree of roughness that can be adjusted to individual preferences, from lightly textured to very rough. Gloss level never exceeds 10.

Uses

Developed for coating fabrications and accessories for flues, stoves and fires.

Highly valued for its special aesthetic appearance, which can be adjusted to produce rustic effects, together with its ability to conceal minor defects on the substrate that would otherwise show up under a smooth finish.

Performance

This coating’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
• conceals minor scratches and scrapes that may be found on substrates

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.
