Keeping Standards up-to-date


Standards are living documents which reflect progress in science, technology and
systems. To maintain their currency, all Standards are periodically reviewed, and
new editions are published. Between editions, amendments may be issued.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves
they are using a current Standard, which should include any amendments which
may have been published since the Standard was purchased.
Detailed information about joint Australian/New Zealand Standards can be found by
visiting the Standards Web Shop at www.standards.com.au or Standards New
Zealand web site at www.standards.co.nz and looking up the relevant Standard in
the on-line catalogue.
Alternatively, both organizations publish an annual printed Catalogue with full
details of all current Standards. For more frequent listings or notification of
revisions, amendments and withdrawals, Standards Australia and Standards New
Zealand offer a number of update options. For information about these services,
users should contact their respective national Standards organization.
We also welcome suggestions for improvement in our Standards, and especially

Australian/New Zealand Standard


Paints for steel structures

Part 3: Heat resisting—Exterior

SECT ION 1 SCOPE AND GENERA L

1.1 SCOPE
This Standard sets out requirements for single- and multi-component primers and finishing
coats for the protection of steel against atmospheric corrosion at elevated temperatures.
Paints specified in this Standard include those described as Paint References C27, C31
and C35 in AS/NZS 2312.
Temperature resistance, colour range, gloss level and drying times vary significantly
according to type. These products can normally be applied by brush, roller or spray
although airless spray application is not suitable for some types. Abrasive blast cleaning is
the preferred method of surface preparation, however hand or power tool cleaning may be
acceptable for some products that are exposed at lower temperatures. Some products require
the application of heat to achieve their full resistance properties.
NOTES:
1 These paints may be used for the appropriate systems detailed in AS/NZS 2312.
2 Appendix A provides recommendations on information which should be provided by the
purchaser at the time of enquiry or order.
3 Additional information on the use and application of heat resisting paints is contained in
Appendix B.
4 Some products covered by this Standard may be particularly prone to discolouration or
damage due to atmospheric contamination where there are acid or alkaline conditions, and the
manufacturer’s advice should be sought.

1.2 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS


A list of the documents referred to in this Standard is contained in Appendix C.

2.5.5 Resistance to weathering


The paint shall have a satisfactory resistance to weathering. This shall be clearly and
adequately demonstrated, by at least two documented case histories that confirm
satisfactory performance for a minimum of four years in a moderate or more severe
environment. One of these case histories shall demonstrate satisfactory performance at
continuously elevated temperatures at or near the recommended maximum. The other shall
demonstrate satisfactory performance in temperatures cycling between near ambient and the
maximum recommended temperature.
A satisfactory performance is one where the paint (system) has not allowed any integrity
failure, i.e., no cracking, flaking, blistering or rusting and in a visual assessment of erosion,
there shall not be any grinning through.
NOTE: Because of the specialized performance characteristics of these paints, weathering tests in
accordance with AS/NZS 1580.457.1 are not considered appropriate due to their inability to
simulate the high temperatures involved.
2.5.6 Finish
When a steel test panel prepared in accordance with Clause 2.4.4 is allowed to air-dry for

APPENDIX B
GUIDANCE ON THE USE AND APPLICATION OF HEAT RESISTING PAINTS
(Informative)

B1 SCOPE
This Appendix provides guidance on the use and application of heat resisting paints.

B2 MANUFACTURER’S TECHNICAL DATA


Before opening the containers for use, the manufacturer’s technical data sheets and label
instructions should be studied.

B3 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The manufacturer’s material safety data sheets (MSDS) for the product should be consulted
and followed. These paints or their components require adequate care when being handled.
Some individuals may show some allergic reaction to them and should not continue to
handle such products. The majority of people are unaffected by contact with these
materials.
All personnel should be protected during mixing and application from skin contact, spray
dust and eye splashing by use of protective equipment and clothing. Any accidental spillage
on the skin should be removed with soap and water or an industrial skin cleaner. Solvent
should not be used as this promotes penetration into the pores of the skin.
As these paints contain flammable solvents, they should not be applied near naked flames.
Attention is drawn to the need to observe the relevant statutory regulations where they
apply.

B4 TYPICAL USES
The main purpose of the paint systems covered by this Standard is to provide a decorative
appearance and impart corrosion protection to steelwork which is subjected to high
temperatures. These paints are intended for use on such structures as chimney stacks, heat
exchangers, hot process lines, kilns, incinerators, exhaust systems and steam pipes. Some
paint types may not be suitable for use in severe chemical environments.

B5 MIXING
Where the paint is a two-pack product, the two components should be mixed in the
manufacturer’s specified ratios and thoroughly blended before application. Only the
recommended thinners should be added to suit application requirements.
Heat resisting paints are special paints that are usually needed above 100°C. At elevated
temperatures, they are more resistant to expansion and contraction due to fluctuating
temperatures, the destructive attack of oxygen and shock from rain. Inorganic polymers
based on silicone or butyl titanate show the best resistance.
--```,,,```,,,,``,,,,,,`,``,```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

B6 CURING
Most of these paints will cure satisfactorily at normal ambient temperature. However,
Type 5 (silicone aluminium) products require the application of heat at a specified rate to
achieve full curing. Failure to apply the required degree of heat within the specified time
may result in the paint not achieving its full corrosion resistance and decorative appearance.

13 AS/NZS 3750.3:2008

B7 POT-LIFE
Of the six paint types covered by this Standard, only Types 3 and 4 are two-pack materials.
For these two paints the pot-life is normally in the region of 24 to 48 h. The manufacturer
should be consulted for details and the paint not used after the recommended pot-life has
expired, as an unsatisfactory coating may result even though the paint appears usable. Thus,
freshly mixed paint should not be added to paint that is nearing the end of its pot-life as this
may deleteriously affect the properties of the paint.

B8 TYPICAL FILM THICKNESS


Dry film thickness will vary according to product type and manufacturer but the following
are indicative of the available products:
Type 1: 35 to 50 µm
Type 2: 25 to 35 µm
Type 3: 35 to 50 µm
Type 4: 35 to 50 µm

--```,,,```,,,,``,,,,,,`,``,```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Type 5: 25 to 35 µm
Type 6: 25 to 35 µm
Higher thicknesses should be avoided to prevent cracking at the operating temperatures.

B9 TYPICAL DRYING TIME


Drying time will vary considerably according to the product type and the manufacturer;
however, the following are indicative drying times:

Surface dry time Hard dry time Minimum


Type recoat time
h h h
1 1 16 2 (spray)
16 (brush)
2 2 8 16
3 1 16 24
4 12 Upon heating 24
5 2 Upon heating —
6 1 — 16

B10 STORAGE CONDITIONS


When stored under cover in unopened containers in industrial situations, the paints or
components should have a storage life of at least 12 months from date of manufacture.
Containers should preferably be stored out of direct sunlight away from heat and water.
Because the paints contain flammable solvents, they should not be stored near naked flame.

Standards Australia
Standards Australia is an independent company, limited by guarantee, which prepares and publishes
most of the voluntary technical and commercial standards used in Australia. These standards are
developed through an open process of consultation and consensus, in which all interested parties are
invited to participate. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth
government, Standards Australia is recognized as Australia’s peak national standards body.

Standards New Zealand


The first national Standards organization was created in New Zealand in 1932. The Standards
Council of New Zealand is the national authority responsible for the production of Standards.
Standards New Zealand is the trading arm of the Standards Council established under the Standards
Act 1988.

Australian/New Zealand Standards


Under a Memorandum of Understanding between Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand,
Australian/New Zealand Standards are prepared by committees of experts from industry,
governments, consumers and other sectors. The requirements or recommendations contained
in published Standards are a consensus of the views of representative interests and also take
account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest scientific and industry
experience. Australian/New Zealand Standards are kept under continuous review after publication
and are updated regularly to take account of changing technology.

International Involvement
Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand are responsible for ensuring that the Australian
and New Zealand viewpoints are considered in the formulation of international Standards and that
the latest international experience is incorporated in national and Joint Standards. This role is vital
in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Both organizations are the national
members of ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International
Electrotechnical Commission).
