White stove paint. Heat-resistant metal paint for furnaces. Painting a brick stove for a bath

Residents of city apartments and country houses increasingly want to have fireplaces and stoves in the interior of their homes. In order for these structures not only to warm with their warmth, but also to decorate the room and fit well into its design, they need finishing, for which heat-resistant paint for fireplaces and stoves is usually used. Next we will look at its features and application technology.

Paint selection

Coating features

Conventional paintwork, of course, cannot be used in this case, since the surfaces of stoves and fireplaces heat up to high temperatures. Therefore, special, heat-resistant paints are used. They contain substances that allow the coating not to lose its properties even at very high temperatures and aggressive environments.

Fireproof fireplace paint can withstand up to 600-650 degrees. Some manufacturers raise this figure to over 700 degrees. Considering that the temperature released when wood burns is about 300 degrees, these characteristics are quite acceptable.

Most often, heat-resistant compositions are made in the form of a suspension based on varnishes with the addition of special mixtures. When dry, they form a film of special quality, which protects the base from exposure to high temperatures. In addition, heat-resistant paintwork also performs decorative functions, just like conventional coatings.

If the painting technology is followed, the guaranteed service life of the paint is about 10 years.

Paint Features

As a rule, stoves and fireplaces are stone structures that have some cast iron elements, for example:

• Dampers;
• Doors;
• Lids;
• Frames, etc.

The entire structure, including the casting, can be painted. However, it should be borne in mind that heat-resistant paint for stoves and fireplaces differs in its composition, and therefore in its scope of application, i.e. You will need different types of coatings for different surfaces.

Therefore, when purchasing a material, you should first of all pay attention to what types of surfaces it is intended for. Otherwise, the finish will be short-lived.

If the structure is located indoors, then water-dispersion fire-retardant paints for metal Polistil are suitable for painting decorative metal elements. To cover a brick or stone surface, you need special compounds that are produced by both domestic and foreign manufacturers.

If the structure is located outdoors, then compositions with a high content of anti-corrosion substances should be used for metal surfaces. For example, for elements not located in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace, electrically conductive paint Zinga is suitable.

It can withstand heat up to 150 degrees Celsius and at the same time does an excellent job of protecting the surface from corrosion.

Advice! Adding aluminum powder to the composition will improve its decorative properties and also ensure uniform heat distribution over the surface.

For structural elements that are located closer to the open fire and chimney, you will have to use more heat-resistant paintwork. For example, you can use universal heat-resistant compounds. At the same time, its price will depend on the characteristics of a particular coating.

If you wish, you can make a stove or fireplace yourself, but in this case the question often arises of how to refine the hearth. The easiest way is to simply paint it with heat-resistant paint for fireplaces and stoves. But in order for the structure to retain its beautiful appearance for a long time, as in the photo, you need to choose the right way to paint the fireplace.

Features of heat-resistant paint for stoves and fireplaces

Any varnish for a brick stove contains silicone or silicon. Paint for fireplaces and stoves must withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees, but some manufacturers claim that their compositions do not lose their properties even at 700 degrees. These indicators are quite suitable, since the combustion temperature of wood is 300 degrees.

If the fireplace is located outdoors, then it is necessary to use paint with high anti-corrosion properties - this will prevent the appearance of rust due to exposure to moisture. However, it must be taken into account that products for concrete and metal contain different components. You can also use universal thermal paint, which can be used to coat various materials. It forms a thin film on their surface that protects them from moisture, air and other factors that lead to rust.

What are heat-resistant paints for?

The properties of paints are significantly influenced by aluminum powder - thanks to this component, the product can withstand temperatures of 600 degrees.

Applying paint

You also need to prepare the following tools:

• soft cloth;
• sandpaper;
• water;
• brush;
• roller;
• copper sulfate solution;
• sulfuric acid solution;
• spray.

It is recommended to apply the paint to a slightly warm surface using a brush, roller or spray - whichever is more convenient. In total, you need to make 2-3 layers, each of them should be allowed to dry thoroughly before applying the next one. The fireplace must be allowed to dry for several days; it cannot be used until the paint has completely hardened.

Applying paint to metal surfaces

Painting the fireplace occurs after it is heated to 150 degrees. Then, within one and a half hours, apply a solution of sodium hydroxide (50 g/l) using a sprayer. Then the fireplace should stand for a couple of days. When applying paint to a warm surface, do not use a brush.

When painting, it is important to remember the safety rules: work with gloves and only in a well-ventilated area. It is also necessary to avoid contact of paint and other products with skin or eyes.

If it is necessary to paint any elements, paint must be selected not only based on its color, but also taking into account its qualities and the properties of the surface being painted. If the metal surface is subject to corrosion, temperature changes and other negative influences, it is best to use heat-resistant metal paint, which, unlike conventional paint, will prevent the appearance of damage and cracks after painting the surface.

Requirements for properties and types of paint

Metal conducts heat well, so painting it requires special compounds that can maintain properties at elevated temperatures.

The main components of such paints are silicone varnishes, solvents, and pigments. Also, depending on the manufacturer, there may be other components in the composition.

The temperature at which thermal paint can be used for metal depends on the composition. Depending on the temperature conditions and components, it comes in the following varieties:

1. Alkyd or acrylic (up to 100 degrees, suitable for heating elements).
2. Epoxy (up to 200 degrees).
3. One-component ethyl silicate and epoxy ester (up to 400 degrees, sometimes metal powder is added to them).
4. Silicone one-component (up to 650 degrees).
5. Using heat-resistant glass and composite materials (up to 1000 degrees).

Heat-resistant paints for metal must not only withstand high temperatures, but also meet certain requirements:

• wear resistance;
• ensuring electrical insulation;
• corrosion protection;
• preservation of properties during sudden changes in temperature;
• plasticity and strength;
• good adhesion;
• low toxicity;
• resistance to various chemicals;
• petrol resistance.

Criteria for choosing thermal paint

Fireproof metal paint is suitable for surfaces that are exposed to severe moisture and high temperatures. For example, it can be used for drying chambers, bathhouse stoves, and heating systems. Heat-resistant enamels are recommended for the automotive industry - they are used to paint muffler parts, engine parts, and calipers.

When choosing a paint, you must read the instructions, which indicate for which surfaces the composition is intended.

For coating surfaces that experience strong heating, heat-resistant, heat-resistant and fire-resistant mixtures are chosen. Heat-resistant paints for metal required to be used where the temperature does not exceed 600 degrees. They can be used to process metal stoves or elements of brick stoves. But it is better not to take them for equipment in the bathhouse, since there surfaces can heat up to 800 degrees. In this case, it is better to resort to heat-resistant paints that can withstand higher temperatures.

Fire-resistant types are used for painting elements used near fire. For other conditions they are unprofitable due to their high cost. High temperature paints Suitable for moderate temperatures no more than 200 degrees. These include engine parts, heating radiators, pipes, and seams of brick kilns.

Heat-resistant varnishes Suitable for temperatures up to 300 degrees. If you paint a brick with this varnish, it will acquire a bright and shiny surface.

Advantages and popular brands

Heat-resistant paint can be found both in aerosol cans and in cans, buckets and even barrels.

The advantages of such compositions include:

• a high level of electrical insulation is an important point if you plan to paint metal products that transmit current;
• protection against corrosion - thermal paint can reliably protect metal from moisture;
• plasticity (when heated, the metal expands, the coating also stretches and does not crack);
• resistance to aggressive environments.

Currently, there is a huge range of similar paints on the market, among which you can find an option for almost any occasion. Depending on the manufacturer, each of them has a specific composition, its own characteristics and features, as well as cost.

Preparation for painting and application methods

The surface is first prepared. The requirements for the surface to be painted are usually described in the instructions for the composition. Some marks can be applied without any prep work, but in most cases you will need to do the following:

1. The surface is degreased, cleaned of old coating and salts.
2. Remove rust. There should be no rust stains left, and the metal surface should acquire a silver color. For processing, use a wire attachment on a grinder or regular sandpaper. You can use sandblasting.
3. Then the surface is washed and dried. Using a solvent, the surface is completely degreased. After degreasing, you need to wait six hours if the work is carried out in the air. You need to wait a day indoors.
4. Then the coloring composition is applied. There can be several layers of application; in this case, it is better to apply them in different directions - this way, a better finish is achieved.

Paint is applied to the surface in three ways:

• roller;
• brush;
• spraying.

Consumption directly depends on the method of application. If the composition is applied with a brush, then the consumption will be 10-40% more than in the case of an aerosol, while the durability of the coating will be approximately the same.

Before work, you need to carefully read the instructions and comply with all painting conditions: temperature conditions, drying conditions, time intervals between applying a new layer. Then the paintwork will last a long time, maintaining its properties.

For stoves or fireplaces made of brick, it is necessary to choose a special paint, since their surface gets very hot. When painting, it is important to prevent the ignition of paints and varnishes and to avoid toxic fumes when they are heated.

Heat-resistant paint on brickwork.

Why paint stoves and fireplaces?

A brick or plastered stove, as well as fireplaces, are treated with varnish or paint not only to preserve their visual appeal. The coating allows you to extend their service life and avoid aging of individual structural elements of heating devices.

Brickwork made from a material that is not uniform in color can be given an attractive appearance by coating it with heat-resistant paint. In this case, you can use several shades of the product at once. You can emphasize the attractiveness of finishing masonry by using colorless varnish. It gives brightness to ceramic materials.

It is advisable to paint a stone heating device in various cases:

• to protect the stove surface from household pollution, and things from traces of brick dust;
• to facilitate daily maintenance of the heating device;
• to bring the appearance of the stove in line with the overall interior design of the room.

What was painted before?

For many centuries, the traditional way to paint stoves in homes was to coat them with lime. It was diluted with water and applied to the surface. To improve the adhesion of the lime mortar to the ceramics, a small amount of salt was poured into it. The plastered and lime-coated stove was made snow-white by adding blue to the solution. This method of dyeing continues to be used today, primarily in rural areas.

Standard kiln covered with lime.

Another option for painting stoves is to use homemade varnish. It was prepared from a mixture of egg whites and milk in a 1:1 ratio. To give the coating a natural reddish ceramic tint, brick dust was added to the composition. To avoid staining clothes when they come into contact with the oven, a layer of protein was applied over the varnish.

What is used today

Modern paint and varnish compositions that are exposed to thermal effects can withstand heating up to +350…+400 ºС. The flame temperature in the firebox where the wood burns reaches +450 ºС. When the fuel is coal, it increases to +1000 ºС.

The outer surface of the stove does not heat up as much as the firebox. However, to cover it you should choose heat-resistant paint or varnish that can withstand heating up to +400...+550 ºС. Heat-resistant paints and varnishes are manufactured for different purposes and different surfaces. Manufacturers indicate on the packaging the temperature resistance of the coating, as well as the type of surface for which it is intended: brick or metal.

The range of fire-resistant compounds includes coatings of various shades. Colorless varnishes preserve the natural appearance of stone or brick for a long time.

Natural drying oil

Coating with natural drying oil does not change the natural shade of the brick, but makes it darker. The peculiarity of drying oil is that a heating device coated with this composition can only be heated for a limited time. Therefore, it is not suitable for stoves located in residential premises and is used to cover heaters installed in the bathhouse.

Organosilicon paint

The basis for the production of silicone coatings for stoves or fireplaces are organic resins. These paints and varnishes have good adhesion to surfaces of various textures. They form a durable, moisture-resistant coating that can withstand up to 250 heating-cooling cycles. The disadvantage of organosilicon compositions is the lack of color solutions, which is due to the chemical properties of these coatings.

Alkyd based varnish

Alkyd paints and varnishes can be used for brick surfaces that do not heat above +100 ºС. Manufacturers of the compositions introduce into them marble or granite dust, components with antifungal and fire-fighting properties. The disadvantage of alkyd compositions is their low elasticity. Varnishes are not able to withstand the constant thermal expansion of ceramics, so the coating requires annual renewal due to the appearance of small cracks on its surface.

Heat resistant paint

Painting of brick or plaster-covered stoves, chimneys and fireplaces is carried out with heat-resistant paint that can withstand heating up to +200…+400 ºС. Varnishes that can withstand high temperatures should also be included in this category. Their operating temperature is +250…+450 ºС.

Heat-resistant compounds not only withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures, but they are safe for humans because they do not emit hazardous substances when heated. Heat-resistant coatings do not affect the heat exchange between the heating device and the room air, are resistant to detergents, and are elastic. To provide the stove surface with a uniform, uniform coating, you need to apply 2-3 layers of paint.

What is better to choose

To preserve the appearance of stoves or fireplaces with a stone design, it is advisable to use a heat-resistant transparent varnish. It will emphasize the surface texture and color of the material, natural or artificial.

The coating on a small surface area can be applied using paint in an aerosol can. It dries quickly and does not require any skills in working with paints and varnishes. The spray is easy to apply to hard-to-reach and uneven surfaces. Compositions produced in the form of aerosols do not require pre-treatment of the materials being painted.

If at your dacha there is a need to paint a stove located outside, the best choice would be paint labeled KO-8101. It is resistant to weather conditions and can be used even in winter.

The use of latex water-based paints with heat-resistant characteristics makes it possible to impart water-repellent properties to the surface of the stove. It is advisable to use such a water-based coating in the kitchen.

What to look for when choosing

When choosing a paint coating for heating devices, pay attention not only to the characteristics of the composition itself, but also to the desired effect. The brick surface of a stove or fireplace can be treated with either paint or varnish. Each option has its own advantages.

Carefully executed masonry has an attractive appearance and fits well into the design of the room. In this case, it is not advisable to cover it with paint - it is enough to treat the brick with a varnish that preserves the pattern and texture of the material. It dries quickly and can be applied immediately to the entire surface of the heating device.

When covering with paint, it is also possible to preserve the pattern of the brickwork. To do this, you will have to use a stencil or cover the seams so that the paint layer lies only on the bricks. In this case, it is advisable to treat the masonry seams with a high-temperature sealant to prevent them from spilling out. If there is no need to preserve the surface pattern, the paint can be applied in a continuous layer, covering both the stone and the seams at once.

Special attention should be paid to painting the stove in a bathhouse or sauna. In this case, the composition must withstand the high humidity that is maintained in the room. For these purposes, black enamels are often used, which are suitable for both ceramics and metal surfaces.

Popular paint brands

Elcon heat-resistant enamel.

To paint a brick fireplace or stove in your home, you can use varnish from the Russian brand Elcon. With its help it is easy to give the stone a matte or semi-glossy look. The effect is determined by the number of layers applied. The varnish is available in aerosol cans. One is enough to treat 2 m² of surface. The coating dries in 3 hours; complete polymerization of the varnish requires 3 days while maintaining room temperature in the room.

Elcon heat-resistant paint is suitable for machine tinting. The black composition has the greatest heat resistance. It can withstand temperatures up to +1000 °C. Pigmentation of the paint material reduces its heat resistance characteristics. After tinting, the paints can be used at temperatures up to +600 °C. They can be used to coat ceramic surfaces, metal boilers and fireplace grates. Paint consumption is determined by the number of layers applied and the structure of the surface being treated.

Cetra KO-85 varnish from the Russian manufacturer Spectr is available in cans. A 0.8 liter capacity is enough to cover 5 m² of surface in one layer. The varnish can withstand temperatures of +250 °C. Since the composition is made on the basis of solvents and synthetic resins, it has a pungent odor that disappears after heat-hardening the painted surface. When working with this varnish, it is necessary to ensure good ventilation of the room.

Technology of coating products with heat-resistant paint

When applying heat-resistant paints, use a brush, roller or spray gun. If you choose an aerosol spray for painting, no additional tools are needed. Most heat-resistant paints and varnishes do not require additional surface preparation. It is enough to remove dirt from it, degrease it, and then cover it with a layer of primer.

To paint a brick stove in a house, heat-resistant paint must be applied in 2-3 layers. Coating the surface with a new layer is possible only when the previous one is completely dry. The correct choice of composition and adherence to the technology of its application is a guarantee that the paint coating will remain on the ceramic surface for 5-7 years.

Any heating structure located in residential premises must look consistent with the overall interior, and requires periodic tidying up. Heat-resistant paint for a stove or fireplace is intended precisely for these purposes - both metal surfaces and metal surfaces are coated with such compositions. And if the surfaces of the stove do not require frequent restoration, then cast iron and steel elements, such as doors, fireplace grates, reinforcing strips and valves, need to be put in order regularly.

Painting or varnishing surfaces is carried out not only to maintain an aesthetic appearance, but also to maximize the service life of the entire structure of the stove or fireplace, and its individual parts. Therefore, if any kind is installed in the house, then you need to know what heat-resistant compounds are used to treat its surfaces.

General concepts about heat-resistant paints

To ensure that the paint applied to the surface does not lose its original qualities for a long time under the influence of high temperatures, heat-resistant paints and varnishes are produced using special technology. They contain protective components, thanks to which the treated brick walls of stoves or fireplaces, and even outdoor barbecue complexes, are able to withstand aggressive external factors such as moisture, precipitation, dirt and dust. A layer is formed on metal elements that can protect them, among other things, from oxidative corrosion processes.

Almost all compositions for painting stoves are produced in the form of suspensions, based on heat-resistant varnishes containing silicone and silicon.

As mentioned above, all parts of the structure can be painted, but for small metal elements and large surfaces, special types of paints are produced that are designed for extremely high temperatures. Such compositions are suitable not only for stoves, but also for barbecues, where the metal experiences maximum impact from contact with open fire.

Other heat-resistant paints are made specifically for treating brick or stone surfaces.

Compositions for coloring materials exposed to thermal effects must withstand heating of at least 350-400 degrees. So, even when ordinary paper burns on its surface, the temperature is + 380-400 degrees; on an intense flame when burning wood, it reaches + 400-450 degrees. Well, when coal is used as fuel, in the phase of its flameless combustion, a temperature is created on its surface that reaches + 900-1000 degrees.

Of course, the external surfaces of heating devices heat up much less than the firebox, but in any case you need to choose heat-resistant paints that can withstand from 400 to 550 degrees of heat.

Most manufacturers make compositions for different purposes, and the temperature parameters are indicated on their packaging, which allows you to choose the right one for either metal elements or brick surfaces of the stove.

Why should you buy heat-resistant paint?

It should be noted that heat-resistant paints always have a fairly high price, and, wanting to save money, some stove owners try to use oil, enamel paints or water-based paints to paint their metal parts. However, you need to know how these compounds behave when heated:

1. For example, oil paint made from drying oil will first soften, and at very high temperatures it will begin to burn. Well, an unpleasant smell will come from it in any case.
2. Ordinary enamel will dry out, lose elasticity and, accordingly, crack, while also emitting an unpleasant “aroma”.
3. Water-based paint, applied in a thick layer, will quickly crack and crumble when moisture evaporates from it, and a thin layer will be covered with a fine network of cracks.

After two or three firings of the stove or fireplace, ordinary paints will change color and acquire an unpleasant yellowness. In addition, you need to remember that rust will negatively affect them from the inside, “eating” the paint and showing up on the outside. Such paints will not protect heated surfaces, and may even cause harm not only to the walls and parts of the stove, but also to the health of people who will breathe in caustic fumes.

In addition, such a coating will barely be enough even for one heating season, and after that the paint on the metal, and possibly on the bricks, will remain in areas that will be difficult to remove due to the porosity of the material.

It will also be difficult to remove oil or enamel paint from brickwork, and you cannot paint over it, as it will still release harmful substances and have a bad effect on the top renewed layer. You will have to clean the surfaces with a wire brush or a grinder with an appropriate attachment.

Therefore, you should not take risks, otherwise you will end up paying much more than the cost of high-quality heat-resistant paint.

Basic requirements for paints for stoves and fireplaces

When choosing heat-resistant paint, you need to consider several factors:

1. Resistance of the composition to high temperatures. The maximum heating level is indicated on the packaging.
2. Resistance to aggressive environments.
3. Material consumption, that is, the amount required to paint 1 m².
4. Composition of the dye.
5. Ease of paint application.

Heat-resistant paint and varnish compositions are divided according to the base component on which they are made:

1. Acrylic base.
2. Silicon-containing (potassium or sodium liquid glass).
3. Epoxy resins.
4. Silicone.

The base of heat-resistant paint directly affects its performance.

The compositions themselves, made on an epoxy or silicone basis, are not very resistant to high temperatures. Therefore, to enhance heat resistance, aluminum or bronze powder is added to the paint, after which the composition can be used at temperatures up to 400-650 degrees.

Heat-resistant paints are also divided according to their purpose, that is, according to the type of surface on which they are applied.

Paint for brick surfaces

The following requirements apply to heat-resistant paints used for coating brickwork:

• resistance to temperatures reaching up to 300 degrees;
• resistance to steam and moisture, especially for stoves installed in bathhouses;
• crack resistance;
• resistance to fading.

Organosilicon compounds, which include enamels KO-168, KO-8101, KO-813, etc., have all these qualities.

For brick stoves and fireplaces installed in residential premises, an important factor is the aesthetic appearance, since many heating structures also play a decorative role in interior design.

For example, a fireplace or stove, decorated with artificial or natural stone, which you want to preserve in its original form without painting, is coated with a heat-resistant transparent varnish called “invisible”.

Paint for metal surfaces

In recent years, the installation of steel or cast iron compact stoves and stoves has become increasingly popular. They do not take up much space and look aesthetically pleasing and stylish, decorating any interior with their presence.

This type of appliance, as well as the metal elements of brick heating structures, require a special approach in choosing paint, since metals are quite “capricious” and rust may appear on them during operation. In addition, they expand quite significantly under the influence of high temperatures, and can also be destroyed by stray currents. Therefore, heat-resistant compounds for metal parts must have the following qualities:

• the paint must withstand temperatures up to 750 degrees;
• when heated, the composition should not emit toxic substances or strong unpleasant odors;
• the paint must have sufficient elasticity so that when heated and cooled it is “movable” and does not crack;
• it is desirable that the paint has high anti-corrosion qualities, which will allow it to be applied to a surface that has not been cleaned of rust without prior priming;

• resistance to phenomena that affect color changes - fading and yellowing;
• for stoves installed outdoors, paint is selected that is also resistant to negative temperatures;

• resistance to aggressive external environments, since the composition must reliably protect the metal from atmospheric humidity, water and active chemical compounds.

On a note! All these qualities are inherent in heat-resistant enamel paints KO-8104, KO-811 and others.

Characteristics of heat-resistant paints

Nowadays, specialized stores stock a wide range of heat-resistant paints and varnishes from various manufacturers, both domestic and foreign, with a large selection of decorative designs. Mentioned above are some of the most popular heat-resistant paints suitable for brick and metal stove surfaces. Now it’s worth considering their characteristics in more detail.

Rating of heat-resistant paints

Enamel KO-8101 is a paint that is produced with heat resistance of 400, 600, 800 degrees. It can be called universal, since it is suitable for application to various surfaces - it can be concrete, brick, metal - from stove elements to structures located both under the roof and in the open air.

For metal parts, it is recommended to choose the anti-corrosion paint composition KO-8101 - it will allow you to coat surfaces without prior preparation. After drying when heated, the paint does not emit harmful fumes, so it can be called a safe product.

The big advantage of this paint is that you can work with it even at subzero temperatures.

Thanks to its high protective qualities and variety of colors, this enamel is able to satisfy the needs of the most demanding customers. The certified technology of its manufacture allows the manufacturer to provide a guarantee for a period of 15 years.

KO-8101 paint is produced by many Russian and foreign companies: Elcon, Termika, SpetsEmal Coatings Plant, Karst and others. All manufacturers adhere to the same manufacturing technology and recipe. The only difference can be the number of colors of the composition.

This enamel was tested at the Mosstroy Research Institute for heat resistance, adhesion, waterproofing abilities and resistance to aggressive environments.

The solvents used for this paint are xylene and toluene.

The consumption of the composition for a three-layer surface coating is 120-240 g/m².

The drying period of the coating at a temperature of 150±2 °C is no more than half an hour, at 20±2 °C - no more than two hours.

This enamel can be applied by spraying using a spray gun, or manually - with a roller or brush, in 2-3 layers, with each layer drying for 0.5 to 2 hours, depending on the ambient temperature.

Enamel KO-811

Heat-resistant enamel KO-811 and KO-811K is intended for painting steel, cast iron, and titanium surfaces that can be heated to temperatures of 400 degrees. The paint is a suspension consisting of pigments dissolved in silicone varnish.

This composition is most often applied by pneumatic spraying. To do this, the enamel is diluted with a stabilizer 100:6 for white paint and 100:7 for other colors. The mixing process is carried out immediately before use, and the finished composition must be used within 24 hours.

Enamel is applied to a metal surface that has been cleaned of dirt, fats, water-soluble salts and oils using acetone, solvent or other solvents. Before applying paint, the metal is wiped with a clean and dry cloth.

The solvents used for this enamel are R-5A, toluene and xylene. The paint can be diluted: KO-811 by 30-40%, KO-811K (white) by 70-80%, other colors by 40-50%.

Enamel consumption varies from 100 to 250 g/m², depending on the color.

The drying time of the painted surface at temperatures of 200, 150 and 20 degrees is no more than 2 hours.

This heat-resistant paint is produced by Galakolor, Termika, NPF Emal LLC and other companies.

Enamel KO-168

KO-168 enamel is designed for operation at temperatures up to 150 degrees, which means that during the process of painting the stove it can be used for brick surfaces and metal elements located remotely from the combustion chamber. Enamel performs not only protective, but also decorative functions, as it is produced in a variety of colors. In addition to painting the stove, this paint is used for, and therefore is perfect for finishing barbecue stoves located in garden areas.

If the operating conditions for painted surfaces are observed, the paint will provide excellent protection for any material from which the stove is built, since the coating has hydrophobic, moisture-resistant and frost-resistant properties. In addition, the paint is highly resistant to ultraviolet rays, which means the enamel will retain its original color for a very long period.

KO-168 enamel is also a suspension consisting of pigments, fillers and targeted additives mixed with silicone varnish.

Paint consumption depends on the chosen color:

• for red and white enamel – 150 g/m²;
• for yellow – 180 g/m²;
• for blue – 140 g/m²;
• for brown, blue, light green, beige – 130 g/m²;
• for green – 120 g/m²;
• for black – 80 g/m².

KO-168 enamel is produced in ready-to-use form. If it is necessary to dilute it, toluene or xylene solvents are used.

Drying time for enamel at a temperature of 20 ± 2 °C is about a day.

If a metal surface is to be painted, it must be cleaned of various contaminants and degreased - also with xylene, solvent or acetone, and then the surface is wiped dry. Painting with this composition can be carried out at air temperatures from -30 to +40 degrees.

Enamel KO-813 and KO-814

Enamels KO-813 and KO-814 are produced on the basis of varnishes KO-85 and KO-815, using aluminum powder PAP-1 and PAP-2. They are intended to protect metal products from various contaminants, aggressive influences and mechanical damage. These heat-resistant enamels can withstand temperatures from -50 to +500 degrees.

Drying time for an enamel-coated surface at temperatures from 20±5 to 150±5 degrees is about 2 hours.

Before using the enamel, it is necessary to mix the two components in certain proportions, so KO-813 should consist of 94 parts of KO-815 varnish and 6 parts of aluminum powder. KO-814 paint is mixed in proportions of 100 parts KO-85 varnish and 5 parts aluminum powder. The finished paint must be used within 8 hours from the moment of mixing.

To dilute this enamel, the same solvents are used - toluene, xylene and solvent.

Before applying paint, the surface must be prepared by cleaning it from dirt and greasy stains. Surfaces are degreased using solvents used to dilute paint.

The finished paint must be thoroughly mixed until homogeneous without sedimentary formations or lumps.
