There are special paints and varnishes that can be used for the purpose of design on surfaces, the operation of which involves a significant increase in temperature. In everyday life, high-temperature paint is used in many ways: the design of the surfaces of fireplaces, stoves, boilers and other areas whose surfaces require special treatment. Heat-resistant paint is made using special technologies that take into account the operational characteristics of this material.
What is a heat-resistant paint material
Refractory paint has a special property. The paint and varnish material, which treats the surfaces of various devices and appliances, resists high temperatures. The main objective of the material, the purpose of which is aimed at the design of surfaces with elevated temperatures, is to protect against moisture and its components to prevent corrosion damage to metal surfaces. Also, paint is used for design decorations of residential premises.
Heat-resistant paint is used to coat metal, ceramic and other surfaces that are exposed to thermal stress during operation. Special properties of the material are the possibility of surface treatment of various heating devices: stoves, boilers, fireplaces, chimney systems.
Features of coatings
Some of the materials have special capabilities, for example, heat-resistant paint for barbecues withstands the direct effects of fire on the surface, but there is no damage during operation of the device. All these features are possible due to the use of special technological processes that are used in manufacturing. Such paint does not fade and does not violate the structure of the coating even with a direct effect on the material, while both the color scheme and the layer remain unchanged.
Paint selection
The most popular in this category of materials is paint for furnaces. It must meet all technical requirements, as it is used for processing heating devices. It is important that the paint does not fade, withstand high temperature indicators.
The variety of paints and varnishes is perplexing, because not all people have sufficient knowledge in this area, and it is extremely difficult to choose the necessary products from a huge assortment.
The question of how to paint the stove in the country or in a country house, many owners are confused. So what you need to know when choosing a paint:
- what material parameters are most suitable for operation;
- which of the manufacturers took care of the quality of the products;
- pricing policy (at what price and where to buy goods);
- how to properly process the surface.
Heat-resistant paint should meet all established requirements and characteristics. If the instructions issued by the manufacturer do not indicate the exact parameters during operation, you can safely delete such a product from the shopping list. Heat-resistant paint must at least withstand loads of +650 degrees, then this material can be used to treat surfaces that are subjected to thermal overloads during operation. Paint for furnaces should not crack or burn out on the surface during use. Also, when heating the furnace, harmful toxic compounds should not be released, as this can harm human health.
What is the purpose of applying heat-resistant coatings
First of all, refractory paint is used to protect the main material of the product from corrosion damage, which are exposed to during construction. The main aggressive environments are temperature extremes and the effects of water and steam on work areas. Special requirements for heat-resistant paints, the operation of which involves the use of devices outdoors, include barbecues and open furnaces.
Preparatory work
The manufacturer made sure that its products were operated as efficiently as possible. To do this, in order to correctly use the paintwork material with heat-resistant features, a special instruction manual is put into each package. The main requirement from the manufacturer is the correct preparation of the surfaces to be treated with the paintwork material.
The surface is cleaned of dirt and foreign objects. Of particular importance is the material on which high-temperature paint will be applied. Metal, wood and ceramic surfaces react differently to absorption, this property should be taken into account.
Product Form
The manufacturer took care not only of the various technical properties of the products, but also diversified the ways in which heat-resistant paint is applied to the surface. To reduce the consumption of paint and varnish material, special aerosol cans with heat-resistant paint are used. This method facilitates the application of paint in hard to reach places. The same peculiarity of the form of release does not require special places for storing paints from buyers in order to avoid toxic poisoning from the smell of products.
Another form of release of heat-resistant paint is metal containers of various weights familiar to all. Before use, some of the types of paints must be thoroughly mixed by shaking. In very rare cases, the manufacturer uses glass containers for his products, as a rule, these are varnishes endowed with special heat-resistant capabilities that are applied to the surfaces of designer works. They are decorated with fireplaces, stoves made of refractory ceramics, continuation of ovens and chimneys in the interior of residential premises.
Technology of applying heat-resistant material to the surface
The most practical and economical method of using paints and varnishes with special thermal features of operation is to spray paint on the desired surface areas. This technology, when used correctly, allows not only to evenly apply the material to the surface, but also to economically use paint. The spray gun makes it possible to apply a primary layer of heat-resistant paint on the entire surface so that after partial drying of the material it can be re-fixed to the desired level.
Heat-resistant paint can be applied in the usual way, using a brush, but such a process is longer and economically disadvantageous. But at the same time, purchased products have a significant difference in price. For painting small areas of the surface where saving does not play a significant role, painting in the usual way is the most suitable option.
Work Safety
It is important to remember that special components are added to the material used for painting surfaces to dry as soon as possible. These materials are not always harmless when dried for health - some of them have a strong toxic smell. In order to avoid troubles, it is necessary to prevent paint from getting on the surface of the skin and use special protective equipment for the duration of the painting work.
After completion of work, it is necessary to leave the room until the material has completely dried and finally thoroughly ventilate it.
