Why Choose Heat Resistant Aerosols?
Standard paint can break down, flake, or discolour when exposed to high temperatures. Heat resistant aerosols are specially formulated to create a protective coat that remains intact on hot surfaces.
These sprays are ideal for areas where high temperature paint is required. Whether for industrial use or home applications like BBQs and stoves, they offer a resistant finish that protects against both heat and corrosion. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, they ensure a long-lasting and professional result.
Applications of Heat Resistant Aerosols
Heat resistant spray paint is widely used across multiple industries where hot surfaces need protection. Common applications include:
- Automotive parts – Ideal for engine components, exhausts, and brake calipers to withstand high temperatures.
- Stoves & BBQs – Perfect for stove doors, BBQ grates, and chimneys, providing a matt black or metallic finish.
- Industrial machinery – Often applied to boilers, furnaces, and heat exchangers to prevent corrosion and fire damage.
- Radiators & heating systems – Used for radiators, pipework, and heating units to maintain heat resistance.
Choosing the Right Heat Resistant Spray Paint for Metal
Selecting the right high temperature spray paint depends on the temperature levels the surface will be exposed to. Some heat resistant coatings can endure temperatures up to 750°C, while others provide resistance up to 1000°C.
For instance, our Rust-Oleum 7715/7778 Heat Resistant Spray protects metal surfaces up to 750°C, making it ideal for industrial settings. For BBQs and stoves, a matt black heat resistant paint provides a durable finish that can handle frequent heating and cooling.
Benefits of High Temp Spray Paint
Using high temperature spray paint offers several advantages:
- Superior Heat Resistance – Designed to withstand temperatures between 300°C and 1000°C.
- Corrosion Protection – Prevents rust and wear on metal surfaces.
- Easy Application – Aerosol form allows for smooth and even coverage.
- Durable Finish – Resists flaking, peeling, and cracking.
- Versatile Use – Suitable for a variety of hot surfaces, from industrial equipment to domestic heating units.
How to Apply Spray Paint for High Heat
For the best results, follow these steps when using heat resistant paint:
- Prepare the Surface – Clean the surface thoroughly, removing dirt, grease, and rust. Use a primer if required.
- Shake the Can – Always shake well before spraying to ensure proper paint distribution.
- Apply in Thin Coats – Spray from 15 - 20 cm away in light, even layers.
- Cure the Paint – Some high temperature coatings need heat curing by gradually heating the surface.
- Allow Full Drying – Ensure complete drying before exposing the paint to high temperatures.
What Makes the Best Heat Resistant Aerosols?
The best heat resistant aerosols offer both heat resistance and corrosion protection. Key factors to consider:
- Temperature rating – Choose a high temperature product suitable for the hot surfaces you are working with.
- Finish type – Options include matt black, gloss, or metallic.
- Application method – Aerosols provide a convenient alternative to brush-on paint.
- Weather resistance – Some sprays also protect against moisture and UV exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of coating is most resistant to high heat?
Ceramic-based and silicone-alkyd high temperature paint offers excellent heat resistance, creating a barrier against extreme temperatures.
What is the best heat resistant paint for a fire pit?
For fire pits, a heat resistant spray paint like Rust-Oleum’s high temperature range is recommended. These coatings withstand direct flames and intense heat.
What is heat resistant spray?
A heat resistant spray is an aerosol form paint designed to protect metal surfaces from high temperatures. It prevents discolouration, peeling, and rust.
Can aerosol cans be exposed to heat?
No, aerosol cans must be kept away from hot surfaces and direct flames, as they are pressurised and may explode if overheated. Store in a cool, dry surrounding area.
