Protection of wood/metal from heat

Heat resistant coatings are suitable for metal products that are subject to high heat levels during their life, such as exhaust systems, pipes or valves carrying hot liquids e.g. furnaces/boilers etc.

The choice of system is affected by temperatures experienced, length of temperature cycles and environmental protection. The coatings are usually thin-film products to reduce heat build-up within the film, and where possible primers are not used as this normally reduces the heat resistance of the film.

Providing assurance and protection

Nearly every coating is subject to chemical attack at some level - traffic/industrial fumes, acid rain, liquid spillages, lubricants and cleaning agents all contain chemicals that will attack a coated surface over a prolonged period of time.

The coating systems used for chemical resistance depend level o exposure, type and strength, lifespan and substrate/preparation. Popular coating solutions include: Epoxy, Epoxy Phenolic, Polyurethane/Acrylic and Moisture-Cured Polyurethanes (MCU).

Formation of an insulating layer

Develop a layer of protective substance that works by chemical reaction generated by heat, resulting in swelling and formation of an insulating layer on the surface. This method is typically used on structural steel, although there are systems available for timber and more.

The system used and film weights required are dependent on the protection time required (according to BS 476 Part 20 & 21 - normally 30, 60 or 90 minutes), the dimensions, exposure and location of the item coated.

High-quality practically & aesthetically

Developing reliable coating solutions that are suitable for unusual substrates. Typically coatings that are suitable for use on glass, GRP, ABS and other plastics.

Coatings for unusual substrates that are durable and have high-quality characteristic, practically and aesthetically.

Metallic, pearlescent & more

Developing reliable coating solutions that produce high-quality and visually stunning special finishes. Produced with a consistent result (finish quality and colour) and excellent product durability for longevity.

Most common special finishes include the following styles: metallic, pearlescent, craquelet (crackle) and any additional textured finishes.

When it comes to coating systems, you can't afford to take chances.  Kortec's approach is tested and proven to work.
