HIGH
TEMPERATURE PAINTS AND COATINGS
BLACK
VELVET, FACTORY MANIFOLD GRAY, and POR-20
BRILLIANT ALUMINUM are very high heat-resistant coatings designed for use on
steel subject to elevated temperatures. FACTORY
MANIFOLD GRAY, and POR-20 will withstand temperatures up to 1400oF,
while BLACK VELVET will withstand temperatures up to 1200oF.
When subjected to high heat concentrations, FACTORY MANIFOLD GRAY will
darken in color (as will cast-iron). Though
they will dry to the touch in four (4) hours and may be handled, these coatings
will not arrive at full cure until they have been exposed to heat concentrations
of at least 300oF.
Surfaces to
be coated must be clean, dry, and free from oil, grease and any other coating,
which cannot resist high temperatures (paints, varnishes, lacquers, metal prep
coatings, etc.). Sandblasted surfaces are ideal, as are wire brushed or sanded
or filed surfaces. Stainless steel
surfaces should be given a sweep-blast, or otherwise be mechanically abraded to
create a surface profile, which will give improved bonding.
Surgical-type gloves should be worn for handling to keep natural body
oils off the prepared surface.
Application
Sir
thoroughly before use and occasionally during application.
DO NOT SHAKE. Keep away from
heat, sparks flame. Use only in
well-ventilated areas. Avoid
breathing vapors or spray mist and contact with eyes and skin. After proper surface preparation, apply by brush, roller or
spray. Reduce if necessary, up to 1
part POR-15 SOLVENT to 8 parts POR-20. FOR BEST RESULTS: Two thin covering coats are
recommended. Any sagging or running
indicates that application is too heavy. Allow
paint to set for several hours on the surface before temperature is raised.
When applying two coats, allow the first coat to air dry 24 hours at 75oF
before recoating. Alternately, the
second coat may be applied after the first coat has been subjected to a surface
temperature of 400oF and then allowed to cool down.
For brush or
spray, use only POR-15 SOLVENT. Lacquer
thinner may be used for cleanup, as may other aromatic solvents.
DRY TIME: At 75oF
dry time is 4 hours to touch. Recoat
maybe done after a minimum of 24 hours. Attains
full hardness only after heat exposure above 300oF.
