ADVANCED-FORMULA COATINGS RESIST HEAT BETTER

Advances in heat resistant paints provide safer ship engine room environment and have a longer effective life. The development of silicone resins has markedly advanced the utility of heat resistant paints. Polytetrafluoroethylene and polycarbonate resins also possess high stability. For moderate heat exposure, polyvinyl formal, butyl rubber, neoprene and some polyurethane and epoxies are usable. The limited choice of pigments that remain for use in practice are briefly discussed. These include titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, antimony oxide, iron oxides, cadmium pigments, ultramarine blue, cobalt blue and chromium oxide, black pigments, aluminium powder, stainless steel flakes, and zinc dust.
