This Standard sets out requirements for single- and multi-component primers and finishing coats for the protection of steel against atmospheric corrosion at elevated temperatures. Paints speeified in this Standard include those described as Paint References C27, C31 and C35 in AS/NZS 23 12.
Temperature resistance, colour range, gloss level and drying times vary significantly according to type. These products can normally be applied by brush, roller or spray although airless spray application is not suitable for some types. Abrasive blast cleaning is the preferred method of surface preparation, however hand or power tool cleaning may be acceptable for some products that are exposed at lower temperatures. Some products require the application of heat to achieve their full resistance properties.
