COSMOS High Heat Spray Paint – Heat Resistant Coating (700°C)

COSMOS High Heat Spray Paint: Protection up to 600°C

Standard paints bubble, crack, and peel when exposed to high temperatures, making them useless for stoves, exhausts, and industrial equipment. COSMOS High Heat Spray Paint is the specialized solution. This single-component, silicone-modified coating is engineered to withstand extreme thermal stress, providing a durable, protective finish on surfaces that reach temperatures up to 600°C (1112°F).

Whether you are restoring a barbecue grill, painting a motorcycle exhaust manifold, or maintaining industrial chimney components, COSMOS High Heat Spray Paint ensures that your surface remains protected from rust and retains its aesthetic appearance without flaking or turning brittle under heat.

Why Choose COSMOS High Heat Spray Paint?

Its unique formulation provides essential protection where conventional paints fail:

• Extreme Temperature Resistance: Specifically formulated to cure and hold integrity when continuously exposed to temperatures far beyond the limit of standard enamel paint.
• Anti-Corrosive: Provides excellent rust protection to metal surfaces under thermal cycling stress.
• Aerosol Convenience: The spray format ensures quick, uniform coverage on complex shapes like grills, pipes, and headers.
• Excellent Adhesion: Bonds securely to bare, clean metal surfaces without the need for a special high-heat primer (though proper prep is critical).

Key Features of COSMOS High Heat Spray Paint

• Withstands up to 600°C: Ideal for most domestic and industrial high-heat applications.
• Quick Drying: Allows for fast application and handling time.
• Matte/Flat Finish: Often cures to a desirable matte or flat finish suitable for machinery and engine components.
• Long-Term Durability: Resists cracking, chipping, and fading caused by thermal changes.
• Silicone Modification: The silicone resin binder provides the flexibility needed to handle thermal expansion and contraction.

Recommended Application Areas

This specialized thermal paint is essential for:

• Stoves and Fireplace Inserts: Painting the exterior metal housing of wood-burning stoves, ovens, and indoor fireplaces.
• Automotive Parts: Exhaust manifolds, headers, mufflers, and engine components (non-moving).
• Barbecue Grills: Restoring the metal body of charcoal or gas grills and smokers.
• Industrial Equipment: Hot air ducts, furnaces, and piping in manufacturing environments.
• Heaters: Metal casings of space heaters and radiators.

How to Use COSMOS High Heat Spray Paint

Proper preparation and curing are vital for performance:

1. Surface Preparation: Surface must be absolutely clean, dry, and free of rust, grease, and loose paint. Use a wire brush or sandpaper to achieve bare, clean metal for best adhesion.
2. Mixing: Shake the can vigorously for at least 2 minutes after you hear the mixing ball to ensure even pigment distribution.
3. Application: Hold the can 25–30 cm from the surface. Apply 2-3 light, thin, even coats, waiting 5 minutes between coats. Avoid thick coats, as they can cause cracking upon heating.
4. Curing (Crucial): The paint must be heat-cured to achieve maximum durability. After the paint is fully dry (24 hours), gradually expose the object to heat (e.g., run the engine or light the grill) for at least one hour. This process hardens the silicone resin. See how to properly prep and cure high-heat paint.
5. Cleaning the Valve: After use, turn the aerosol can upside down and press the nozzle for 3 seconds to clear the valve.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does this paint need a primer?
A: Generally, no. High-heat paints are typically self-priming and require application directly to bare metal. Using a standard primer will cause failure and peeling when the surface gets hot.

Q: Can I use this on plastic engine covers?
A: No. This paint requires heat to cure and is designed for metal substrates. It will melt or severely warp most plastics.

Q: How long does the heat-curing process take?
A: After the paint has air-dried for 24 hours, the surface should be brought up to operating temperature (e.g., $200^\circ \text{C}$ to $300^\circ \text{C}$) for about 1 hour. During this initial cure, some smoke may be produced, which is normal.
