HELIOLUX™
liquid coatings
OVERVIEW
The heat-resistant liquid coating solution
Some products withstand a tremendous amount of heat, day in and day out. In order to keep that product functional, the coating must be able to withstand elevated temperatures without losing gloss, discoloring, cracking, or losing adhesion.
HELIOLUX™ is a proprietary liquid coating solution developed to protect surfaces exposed to extreme temperatures ranging from 400ºF to 1400ºF for prolonged periods.
HELIOLUX™ is based on silicone resin, specially developed to protect surfaces at extremely high temperatures.
The coating is formulated to for excellent adherence that will not crack or delaminate, and will maintain color and gloss.
MAIN FEATURES
- Highest heat resistance of any liquid coating.
- Superior Scratch, chip, and corrosion resistance.
- Excellent adhesion and long-term color retention.
- Flexible application for indoor or outdoor use.
- Excellent UV stability to prevent corrosion of non insulated surfaces subject to atmospheric exposure.
