IFS Heat resistant powders

IFS heat resistant powders work to withstand elevated temperatures without losing gloss, discoloring, cracking, or losing adhesion. Using heat resistant silicone resins, these powders ensure that when exposed to elevated temperatures, the powder will continue to adhere, will not crack or delaminate, and will maintain color and gloss.

Product performance

At elevated temperatures, IFS Heat Resistant powder coatings display:

• Excellent adhesion
• Excellent resistance to cracking
• Excellent resistance to delamination
• Color retention, especially black, metallics and dark colors.
• Long-term gloss retention
• Corrosion protection
• Excellent weathering protection

IFS Heat Resistant powder applications

IFS Heat Resistant powders are perfect for rolled, extruded and die cast aluminum as well as rolled and cast steel. Grills, fire screens and heaters are just some of the products benefiting from IFS Heat Resistant powders. In fact, adding a heat resistant powder to an area that is exposed to high temperatures is a great way to add another level of protection.

Colors and effects

IFS Coatings Heat Resistant powders are available in a range of colors and special effects. In general, the heat resistance of the products also depends on the color. Blacks, dark colors and aluminum metallics are the most stable heat-resistant colors. They will perform without visual changes, with intermittent heat exposure up to 800°F, when formulated in the right technology. With continuous exposure, the coatings will continue to adhere and protect the substrate, but will eventually begin to lose color and gloss.

Brighter colors are more difficult to formulate in heat resistant technology as the organic pigments used to make some of these colors darken or fade when they are exposed to temperatures over 400°F. It depends on the level of heat resistance you require and the color you are interested in, so talk to your IFS representative and, along with our R&D experts they will be happy to advise you.
