Heat resistant paints are used where the coating is required to withstand temperatures up to 600°C.
These specialist coatings will effectively maintain their protective integrity at consitently high temperatures without degrading, discolouring or losing adhesion. They are typically applied to properly prepared carbon steel, galvanised steel, stainless steel and aluminium substrates and are commonly used on chimneys and furnaces as well as on pipework and vessels in the oil, gas and chemical industries.

Heat resistant paints differ from intumescent or fire-retardant coatings: they do not expand or insulate against fire, but instead maintain their integrity under sustained heat.
