Product Description

Hi-Temp 500V HA is a series of high temperature coatings designed specifically for direct application to hot operating equipment. The temperature of the metal during application can be as hot as 300°F (156°C). Hi-Temp 500V HA is a silicone acrylic system formulated with a high percentage of silicone resin, a thermally stable acrylic resin and inorganic pigments. This combination allows the 500V HA Series to have superior color stability to 500°F (260°C) as compared to most generic silicone acrylic topcoats, which tend to discolor at elevated temperatures. It is available in both standard and custom colors. 500V HA Series does not require a heat cure. It is able to withstand severe thermal cycling up to 600°F (315°C). Hi-Temp 500V HA Series is a user friendly coating having excellent weathering and corrosion resistance when applied over properly primed surfaces.

  • Black and aluminum pigmented coatings have color stability to 850°F (454.4°C)
  • Radiant energy can sometimes cause a temporary change in the appearance of heat resistant coatings.
  • A delta change of 5+ units may occur when light colored topcoats are exposed to continuous maximum temperatures.

Characteristics

  • Direct application to hot steel having a metal temperature from 120°F-300°F (49°C-156°C)
  • Color stability to 500°F (260°C)
  • Thermal shock resistant to 600°F (315°C)
  • VOC of 3.5 lbs./gal.

Surface Preparation

1) New Surfaces: Steel

Coated surfaces must be dry and free of weld splatter, oil, dirt, grease, and all other contaminates. Round off all rough welds and sharp edges. Abrasive blast to a SSPC-SP 6 "Commercial Blast". Blast profile should be 1.0-1.5 mils., (25-38 microns), in depth.

2) Previously Painted Surfaces: Poor Condition

Old coating shows evidence of cracking, fracturing, delamination, and/or corrosion. Surface preparation guidelines for new steel should be followed.

3) Rusty Surfaces

Surfaces with much corrosion present. Guideline for new steel should try to be followed. If abrasive blast is not possible, prepare the surface by an SSPC-SP 11 "Power Tool." If this is unattainable, prepare the surface by an SSPC-SP 2 "Hand Tool Cleaning." Apply one prime coat of Hi-Temp 1027 DTR. Application over tightly adhering rust is acceptable. Topcoat with one coat of Hi-Temp 500V HA.
*Performance of system relative to surface preparation accomplished.

4) Previously Painted Surfaces: Good Condition

Old coating is intact and there is no evidence of cracking, fracturing, and/or delamination. Pressure wash surface to remove all oil, grease, and contaminates and apply one coat of 500V HA Series at 2.0-2.5 mils. dft. Prior to a full topcoat application, apply 500V HA Series to a small area and test for adhesion.

5) Previously Painted Surfaces: Good Condition, some spotted corrosion

Old coating is intact, there is no evidence of cracking, fracturing, and/or delamination. However, there are small areas of corrosion which amount to less than 10% of the area to be coated. Spot prepare the areas of corrosion by an SSPC-SP 6 "Commercial Blast". Blast profile should be 1.0-1.5 mils. in depth. If abrasive blasting is not permitted, prepare the area by a power tool cleaning accordance to an SSPC-SP 11. Apply one prime coat of Hi-Temp 1027 to these areas. Once these areas are primed and dry, power wash the entire structure, removing all oil, grease, and other contaminates. Apply one coat of 500V HA Series at 2.0-2.5 mils. dft. over the entire unit. Prior to the full topcoat application, apply the 500V HA Series to a small area and test for adhesion.

Application Instructions to Hot Steel

1. IMPORTANT! It is essential to apply thin coats of the Hi-Temp 500V HA during an application to hot steel. This aids in allowing the solvent to escape the coating without leaving pinholes behind. This application is similar to mist coating.

2. Flush equipment with Hi-Temp #5 Thinner before using equipment.

3. Hi-Temp 500V HA is normally not thinned. If the situation warrants thinning, use only Hi-Temp #5 Thinner.

4. Hi-Temp #5 Thinner is specifically formulated for Hi-Temp 500V HA. It is a slow evaporating solvent allowing for good film integrity as the coating is being applied to hot operating equipment.

5. WARNING! Do not thin 500V HA with any other solvent. A fire hazard could occur if using a different solvent system. Dry spray and poor film characteristics may occur as well.

6. Do not apply a heavy coat to a hot surface or blistering will occur. If this happens, immediately take a brush, (use wood-handled brushes with China bristles only. Do not use brush with synthetic bristles), and brush out the blister before it sets.

7. Application to hot surfaces tends to promote dry spray.

8. To avoid dry spray, apply coatings without reaching.

Equipment

Conventional or airless spray is recommended. For conventional spray use a DeVilbiss MBC-510, (or equal), gun with an AV115-FZ (.0425") fluid tip and a 704 air cap. For airless spray use a Graco 205-591, 208-663, (or equal), gun with a fluid tip of 163-614, 163-616 and Graco Bulldog Pump at 30:1. Adjust pressure as needed. Hold gun 10"-12" from the surface at right angles. Lap each pass 50%. When brushing and rolling, use only quality brushes and rollers.

Mixing

Use mechanical agitation for mixing. Mix materials until uniform in consistency.

Thinning

Thinning is not normally needed. If a condition warrants thinning, thin only with Hi-Temp #5 Thinner. Thin according to local air regulations.

Clean-up

Use Hi-Temp #5 Thinner.
