Primax Hi-Build Aluminum Paint Heat Resisting 500FH
Primax Heat Resisting Paint – High-Temperature Protection for Steel Surfaces up to 500°F
Steel structures operating at elevated temperatures need a coating specifically designed to perform under continuous heat exposure. Ordinary metal paints may not be suitable for equipment, piping, exhaust systems, and industrial structures that regularly become hot during operation.
Primax Heat Resisting Paint is a specialized high-temperature coating designed for direct application on properly prepared steel structures exposed to continuous temperatures up to 500°F.
Formulated with aluminum flakes and modified silicone resin, it provides durable protection for steel surfaces in both indoor and outdoor high-temperature environments. Its silver appearance, quick touch-dry time, and multiple application methods make it a practical protective coating for demanding industrial applications.
Designed for Steel Exposed to Continuous Heat
High operating temperatures create demanding conditions for protective coatings. Steel used around furnaces, exhaust systems, hot pipelines, and industrial equipment can experience continuous heat that requires a coating developed specifically for elevated-temperature service.
Primax Heat Resisting Paint is formulated for continuous exposure up to 500°F, helping protect suitable steel structures while maintaining the integrity of the coated surface under high-temperature conditions.

Silver Metallic Appearance
Primax Heat Resisting Paint is available in Silver. Its aluminum flake pigment contributes to the characteristic metallic appearance of the finished coating.
Final appearance can vary depending on surface preparation, film thickness, application method, and service conditions.
Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is essential for achieving reliable adhesion and high-temperature coating performance.
- Remove oil, grease, dust, dirt, and surface contamination.
- Remove loose rust, scale, and poorly adhering previous coatings.
- Clean welds, joints, corners, and edges thoroughly.
- Ensure the steel surface is sound and suitably dry.
- Make sure the substrate is properly prepared before direct application.
The product is intended for direct application on steel structures. No separate primer system has been specified in the supplied product information.
Application Methods
Primax Heat Resisting Paint can be applied using:
- Spray
- Roller
- Brush
The application method can be selected according to the shape, size, accessibility, and requirements of the steel structure.
General Application Guidance
- Inspect the steel structure before application.
- Remove rust, grease, oil, dirt, and loose material.
- Make sure the surface is clean and properly prepared.
- Mix Primax Heat Resisting Paint thoroughly before use.
- Normally, thinning is not required.
- Apply an even coat using spray, roller, or brush.
- Maintain consistent coverage across the entire steel surface.
- Pay particular attention to edges, welds, corners, and difficult areas.
- Allow the applied coating to dry adequately before recoating.
- Clean all application equipment immediately after use.
Thinning
Primax Heat Resisting Paint is stated as normally not requiring thinning.
Avoid unnecessary dilution, as this may affect coating consistency and film build. If adjustment is required for a particular application method, follow current product-specific technical instructions.
Drying & Recoat Time
Under normal conditions, the stated drying characteristics are:
- Touch Dry: 20–30 minutes
- Recoat: 16–24 hours
Actual drying time may vary depending on temperature, humidity, ventilation, coating thickness, application method, and steel surface conditions.
Allow the coating to dry adequately before applying another coat or placing the coated equipment back into service.
Indoor & Outdoor High-Temperature Protection
Primax Heat Resisting Paint is suitable for steel structures in both indoor and outdoor high-temperature environments.
Its specialized formulation makes it suitable for industrial and mechanical applications where steel surfaces are regularly exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
Equipment Cleanup
Clean brushes, rollers, spray equipment, mixing containers, and other tools with Primax Wood Care Thinner immediately after use.
Prompt cleaning helps prevent dried coating material from accumulating inside application equipment.
