Heat resistant pigments

Abstract

The heat resisting qualities of certain pigments, has, in some cases been known for decades, but a problem until relatively recently has been the difficulty of overcoming binder deficiencies in organic coatings, particularly at temperatures over 200°C. A marked contribution was the development of silicone resin, since very good high temperature characteristics have been discovered. Polytetrafluoroethylene and polycarbonate resins also possess high heat stability, and to a lesser extent, so do polyvinyl formal, butyl rubber, neoprene, some polyurethane and epoxies. A new polyethylene resin has been developed by the Nippon Steel Corporation of Japan, that does not result in the deterioration of the other properties.
