Product Description
CRC ALU H.T. HIGH TEMPERATURE ALUMINIUM COATING
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
High temperature aluminium coating.
A high temperature paint based on silicone resins and active aluminium pigments.Alu H.T. is designed to build a hard lasting finish that will not burn off, chip or peel at high temperatures.
FEATURES
- High thermal stability: resists temperatures up to 600°C.
- Excellent coverage.
- High durability.
- Quick drying at room temperature.
- Very good resistance to temperature fluctuations.
- Good weather stability. Although some loss of gloss can be noticed after extended exposure.
- Totally lead and chromate free.
- No chlorinated and no aromatic solvents.
- Aerosols use dimethylether (DME) propellant for controlled application and film properties.
APPLICATIONS
- Stove pipes
- Stoves
- Heaters
- Kilns
- Incinerators
- Chimneys
- Exhaust manifolds
- Headers
- Engines
- Ovens
- Steam pipes
DIRECTIONS
- Shake aerosol can very well for at least one minute after agitator ball is free. Stir or mix bulk product well to obtain a homogeneous dispersion. Repeat frequently while using.
- Apply to a clean, degreased, dry surface for best results. Remove rust and scale with a wire brush.
- Apply in light, even coats; best results are obtained with 2 lighter rather than 1 heavy coat. Additional coats can be applied after 15-30 minutes.
- Complete curing occurs during use, typically after 1 h @ 200°C or 45 min. @ 250°C.
- When spraying is finished, clean aerosol valve by turning can upside down and pressing button until only propellant escapes. If clogging occurs, remove button and clean orifice with fine wire.
- Do not use on energised equipment. Use in well ventilated area.
- A safety data sheet (MSDS) according EU directive 93/112 is available for all CRC products.

Superior High-Temperature ProtectionCRC ALU H.T. High Temperature Aluminium Coating delivers reliable protection for metal surfaces exposed to extreme heat, up to 600C. This makes it an optimal choice for components like exhaust pipes, industrial machinery, and ductwork that operate at elevated temperatures. Its unique formulation resists oxidation and weathering, safeguarding against environmental damage and maintaining surface integrity over time.
Excellent Adhesion and Convenient ApplicationFormulated for strong adhesion, this aluminium coating bonds securely to clean, dry metal surfaces. Supplied as an aerosol spray, it ensures uniform coverage and ease of use, even on irregular shapes. Suitable for both industrial and automotive environments, each can is dimensioned for manageable handling and efficient spray patterns, delivering professional results with minimal effort.
Long-Lasting Performance and ComplianceCRC ALU H.T. Aluminium Coating is stored easily, with a shelf life of 24 months from manufacture when kept in a cool, dry location. Conforming to industry VOC regulations, it provides a safe, high-quality finish that protects valuable equipment from heat and the elements. Its robust weather resistance helps avoid costly repairs or replacements due to corrosion or oxidation.
FAQs of CRC ALU H.T. HIGH TEMPERATURE ALUMINIUM COATING:
Q: How should CRC ALU H.T. High Temperature Aluminium Coating be applied for best results?
A: For optimal adhesion and performance, apply the coating to clean, dry metal surfaces. Shake the aerosol can well before use, hold it approximately 2030 cm from the surface, and spray using smooth, even strokes. Apply in thin layers to achieve uniform coverage.
Q: What types of surfaces and applications is this coating suitable for?
A: This product is designed for metal surfaces exposed to temperatures up to 600C. It is ideal for automotive parts (such as exhausts and pipes), industrial equipment, ducting, machinery, and other components where high-temperature resistance and corrosion protection are essential.
Q: When should the coated part be used after application?
A: After application, allow the coating to dry thoroughly before exposing the part to high temperatures or humidity. Refer to the manufacturers instructions for specific drying times, but typically, surfaces should be touch-dry within a short period and fully cured before returning to service.
Q: Where should the product be stored for maximum shelf life?
A: To maintain product quality, store CRC ALU H.T. High Temperature Aluminium Coating in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Proper storage ensures a shelf life of up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
Q: What benefits does this coating offer compared to standard aluminium spray finishes?
A: Unlike standard finishes, CRC ALU H.T. Coating provides exceptional resistance to temperatures up to 600C and fights corrosion, oxidation, and weathering. It offers long-lasting protection, strong adhesion, and compliance with industrial VOC standards, making it suitable for demanding industrial and automotive environments.
Q: How much area can a 400 ml can of CRC ALU H.T. Coating cover?
A: A single 400 ml aerosol can typically covers approximately 2 square meters, depending on the porosity and texture of the surface and the thickness of application.
