There are special paints and varnishes that can be used for design purposes on surfaces whose operation involves a significant increase in temperature. In everyday life, high-temperature paint is used in many areas: decorating 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 features of this material.
What is heat resistant paint material
Refractory paint has a special property. The paintwork material, which is used to treat the surfaces of various devices and fixtures, resists high temperatures. The main task of the material, the purpose of which is aimed at the design of surfaces with elevated temperatures, is to protect against the effects of moisture and its components to prevent corrosive damage to metal surfaces. The paint is also used for residential design.
Heat-resistant paint is used to cover metal, ceramic and other surfaces that are subjected to thermal stress during operation. Special properties of the material - the possibility of processing the surface of various heating devices: stoves, boilers, fireplaces, chimney systems.
Covering features
Some of the materials have special features, for example, heat-resistant paint for barbecues can withstand direct fire loads on the surface, but no damage is observed during operation of the device. All these features are possible due to the use of special technological processes that are used in the manufacture. Such paint does not fade and does not violate the structure of the coating even with direct exposure to the material, while the color scheme and the layer remain unchanged.
Paint selection
The most demanded in this category of materials is paint for furnaces. It must meet all technical requirements, as it is used to process heating devices. It is important that the paint does not fade, withstand high temperatures.
The variety of paints and varnishes is confusing, 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 paint:
- what material parameters are most suitable for operation;
- which of the manufacturers took care of the quality of products;
- price policy (at what price and where to buy goods);
- how to treat the surface properly.
Heat-resistant paint must 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 overload during operation. Furnace paint should neither crack nor fade on the surface during use. Also, when the oven is heated, harmful toxic compounds should not be released, as this can harm people's he alth.
For what purpose heat-resistant coatings are applied
First of all, refractory paint is used to protect the main material of the product from corrosive damage that structures undergo during operation. The main aggressive environments are temperature fluctuations and the impact of water and steam on the working areas. Special requirements for heat-resistant paints, the operation of which involves the use of devices outdoors, this includes barbecues and open stoves.
Preparatory work
The manufacturer made sure that its products are used with the highest quality. To do this, in order to properly use the paintwork material with heat-resistant features, a special manual-instruction is included in 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 the 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 product, 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 feature of the release form 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 that are familiar to everyone. Some types of paints must be thoroughly mixed by shaking before use. 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 design works. They decorate fireplaces, refractory ceramic stoves, extensions of ovens and chimneys in the interior of living quarters.
Technology for applying heat-resistant material to the surface
The most practical and economical method of using a paint material with special thermal performance characteristics is to spray paint on the desired areas of the surface. This technology, when used correctly, allows not only to apply the material evenly to the surface, but also to use the paint economically. The spray gun makes it possible to apply an initial layer of heat-resistant paint over the entire surface in such a way that, after partial drying, the material can be re-fixed to the required level.
Heat-resistant paint can be applied in the usual way, with a brush, but such a process is more time-consuming and uneconomical. But at the same time, the purchased products have a significant difference in price. For painting small areas of the surface, where economy does not play a significant role, painting in the usual way is the most acceptable option.
Safety at work
It is important to remember that special components are added to the material used for painting surfaces for faster drying. These materials are not always harmless to he alth when dried - some of them have a strong toxic smell. To avoid troubleit is necessary during the painting work to prevent paint from getting on the surface of the skin and use special protective equipment.
After finishing work, you need to leave the room until the material is completely dry and finally ventilate it thoroughly.
