System Use
High-Temperature Coating System for Metal Surfaces
This coating system is designed to protect metal substrates in extreme heat conditions. Each layer serves a specific role in ensuring long-term performance and durability in industrial environments.
Layer 1: Coatguard 220 – Zinc-Rich Primer
Coatguard 220 is a high-performance zinc-rich epoxy primer used to provide long-term corrosion protection through sacrificial cathodic action.
-
Function: Creates a protective base that inhibits rust formation and strengthens adhesion for subsequent coatings.
-
When to Use: Especially recommended in high-rust areas or marine-influenced environments.
-
Drying Time: Allow the primer to fully cure before applying the topcoat. Surface must be clean, dry, and dust-free.
Layer 2: Hitek 325 – High-Temperature Resistant Topcoat
Hitek 325 is a one-component, silicon-based paint designed for surfaces exposed to extreme temperatures up to 2500°C.
-
Function: Acts as the final protective layer, resisting thermal shock, oxidation, and long-term heat exposure.
-
Application: Apply using a lint-free high tensile roller, brush, air spray, or airless spray. Avoid over-rolling to prevent lap marks.
-
Coats Required: Typically 1–2 coats depending on the design specification and exposure conditions.
-
Recoat Interval: Recoat after 4 hours or as needed based on environmental conditions and film build.
This system is ideal for use on boilers, furnaces, chimneys, incinerators, and high-temperature ducts, ensuring reliable performance even under continuous high-heat operations common in Philippine industrial settings.
