How to choose heat-resistant spray paint and where is it used?

There are many surfaces, often difficult to access, that only aerosol paint that can fit in the spray can handle. The construction of an object, as a rule, imposes certain requirements on the materials used during various operations.

They should have sufficiently specific characteristics and qualities that allow them to be universal means in carrying out construction work. They can be produced in a variety of forms, as part of a variety of mixtures, it can be enamel, and, naturally, in cans.

Key Features

It is worth noting that heat-resistant and heat-resistant paint in the container is a rather specific colorful material used in a rather narrow area. Of course, you can use this tool for other works not declared by the manufacturer, but this can lead not only to additional expenses, but also to poorly performed work. Based on this, I would like to advise the use of such an aerosol only in those areas that relate to its intended purpose.

The release of paint in such cylinders is a justifiable solution, because thanks to this, it becomes possible to process various surfaces with a fairly uniform layer.

Aerosol has certain characteristics that affect the choice:

1. The main point, which is highly discouraged to ignore, is the indicator of temperature tolerance by such means. The fact is that the aerosol type of heat-resistant paint for metal is able to withstand only a certain heat, which is indicated on the cylinder, which directly affects where and for what purpose this tool will be used.
2. Many manufacturers produce this product, the application of which is possible in certain temperature indicators. There are many paints for metal that can withstand direct contact with fire, but can not withstand temperature increases above normal. There is also a slightly inverse reaction of other aerosols - they can withstand elevated temperature readings, but will be destroyed by open fire.

   

3. There is a number of requirements for the surface itself, on which the aerosol will be applied. For example, according to the recommendations, it must be pre-treated with a special primer, and only then with metal paint. The fact is that under the influence of high temperatures, the upper enamel can peel off the surface, and on it just would be the material. Applying a primer will prevent this.
4. One of the main features of such tools is that they have sufficient plasticity, even after complete drying. Therefore, when the surface begins to swell or expand under the influence of high temperatures, the applied paint layer does not delaminate and does not crack.
5. It is worth noting that the applied enamel does not protect against exposure to open flame, however, does not allow the surface to become covered with rust.
6. Such a high-temperature, heat-resistant paint has a peculiar reflective function.

Fields of application

Like other products, aerosol has its own field of application, with its own specifics and norms.

Here are the main ones:

1. Such material is widely used and used in areas with increased moisture formation and high temperature conditions, i.e. where ordinary enamel cracks, this remedy is very suitable. Basically, these are saunas, baths and other similar places.
2. Heat-resistant paint in the container is perfect for use in the treatment of fireplace structures and stoves, as well as in painting doors, etc.
3. A similar material can also be used for processing pipes on the heating main, because they can be applied over traces of rust. In addition, they can fulfill the additional function of a heater.

Due to the fact that this tool is quite expensive, it is simply not practical to use it in any other areas, in order to avoid high processing costs. In other cases, it is better to use other, similar in components and purpose, formulations.

Advantages and disadvantages

The high price of such products does not at all say that this product is ideal for all painting work. It has its pros and cons, which can affect the final choice.

Advantages of spray paint for metal:

• the aerosol in the container is already ready for use, so that no additional preparatory manipulations are needed;
• aerosol paint for metal perfectly copes with the most difficult surface areas, due to the fact that it can penetrate into any inaccessible places;
• when working, no additional tools and devices are needed (except for a mask or scarf to protect the respiratory system);
• heat resistant paint for metal has good adhesion properties;
• the applied enamel dries very quickly and is resistant to fading in the sun;
• no additional effort is required when transporting the aerosol;
• a wide range of paints by their type (acrylic, epoxy, oil, etc.);
• a variety of colors, which greatly simplifies the choice;
• applying paint in this way gives an additional scope in terms of translating original ideas for painting;
• you can easily arrange a smooth transition and merging of one shade into another;
• aerosol for metal with the remaining paint does not dry out, so do not rush to use the remains of the substance;
• heat-resistant paint in the tank does not exude absolutely no smell.

Disadvantages:

• lack of tinting, i.e. mixing different colors;
• some professional training is needed, because with an excess of the applied substance, sagging may form;
• to make a straight line in coloring, you need to use some kind of stencil;
• the impossibility of changing the consistency of the substance;
• when working on the street, you need to monitor the weather, i.e. in windy conditions, work is not possible.

Selection tips

To achieve the best results and not to waste money, you need to know what to look for when buying paint in a bottle.

Here are just some tips:

1. It must be remembered that for each type of surface a certain composition of the paint material used is needed. In particular, acrylic paints are suitable for painting wood, glass or plastic, and for metal, compositions based on zinc and aluminum are needed.
2. If the design of the room requires it, then you can choose various paint options with additional effects (dents, hammer blows, etc.).
3. The applied enamel must be calculated according to the information indicated on the package (per square meter).

In conclusion, I would like to note that people who first encountered such material and such works should carefully study the instructions in the store. There, it will be indicated not only what color the applied enamel will be, but also the necessary consumption of the substance, taking into account the fact that it is 1 square meter. you need about three layers of the composition.

It is worth noting that the applied enamel from aerosol, although it is quite versatile and most preferred substance for protection against high humidity, but still this is not considered a panacea for all time. For this reason, periodically need to update the treated surface, applying new layers.
