Frequently Asked
Questions.
What temperature can regular paint withstand?
Standard architectural paints fail above 150-200°F—discoloring, blistering, and losing adhesion within days or weeks. Above 200°F, specialized high-temp coatings are mandatory. Temperature requirements determine coating selection: Alkyd enamels to 250°F, silicone alkyd to 500°F, ceramic coatings to 1200°F, and inorganic systems to 2000°F for extreme applications. We assess equipment operating temperatures specifying appropriate systems preventing premature failure from heat exposure.
Can you coat boilers, furnaces, and combustion equipment?
Yes, using appropriate high-temperature systems. Boiler exteriors typically reach 250-400°F requiring silicone or ceramic coatings. Exhaust stacks and flues can exceed 600-800°F demanding ceramic systems. Furnace exteriors vary widely based on insulation. We assess actual surface temperatures using infrared thermometers—not ambient or internal temperatures. Coating selection must have safety margin above maximum operating temperature. Proper specification prevents costly coating failure and need for premature recoating.
Do high-temperature coatings come in colors beyond silver?
Yes, modern high-temp coatings offer color options though selection narrows at extreme temperatures. To 500°F, numerous colors are available including blacks, grays, browns, and some custom options. Above 500°F, silvers, blacks, and earth tones dominate. Above 1000°F, silver and aluminum coatings are standard. Color stability varies—some colors may shift slightly at sustained high temperatures. We provide color samples indicating stability at specified service temperatures ensuring appropriate selection for your aesthetic and functional requirements.
How do you prepare oxidized or scaled equipment surfaces?
High-temperature equipment often develops heavy oxidation or scale requiring aggressive preparation. Methods include wire brushing or grinding removing loose scale, chemical descaling for heavy buildup, abrasive blasting for severely deteriorated surfaces, and degreasing removing oils and combustion residues. Surface must be thoroughly cleaned—contaminants prevent adhesion causing premature coating failure. For equipment in service, preparation occurs during planned shutdowns. Proper preparation is critical—high-temp coatings demand excellent surface preparation for adhesion in demanding thermal environments.
Can high-temp coatings be applied to equipment in service?
Usually no—most high-temp coatings require specific cure temperatures or cannot be applied to hot surfaces. Equipment must be cooled to ambient temperature, properly prepared, coated, and allowed to cure per manufacturer instructions (sometimes including heat-cure cycles). For critical equipment difficult to shutdown, we coordinate work during planned maintenance outages or seasonal low-demand periods. Proper curing is essential for achieving specified high-temperature performance—shortcuts result in coating failure.
