Some paints are available in a Polyurethane type finish.
All Thermal Paints are time/temperature dependent and in being so, such paints have a trigger temperature below their specified rating.
A 235°C/455°CF Thermal Indicating paint after 1 hour would require only a sustained temperature of 218°CC/424°CF to change its colour, however, a temperature of 180°CC/356°CF will not cause a colour change of the paint, therefore such a paint could be recommended for work on projects which do not exceed the normal running conditions of 180°CC/356°CF. Being a general guide only, specific details should always be requested. To obtain further advice we will need the following information:
- The type of surface to be painted, i.e. metal, stone, etc.
- Required trigger temperature
- The surface temperature under normal conditions
- The ambient temperature
It is, when testing, advisable to apply two coats of thermal paint. No undercoat is necessary when used for test purposes. When calculating requirements allow 1 litre per 6 sq. metres.
