Description
A heat
-
resistant, VOC compliant, silicone
copolymer Color/ Temperature Summary
coating designed primarily for temperature indicating
applications in the 400
°-
650
°
F (200
325
C) range.
When applied to refinery and petrochemical process
equipment operating at elevated temperatures the color
change provided by Thurmalox 260C
TIC gives an
early warning of vessel overheating due to failure of
refractory linings or bypassing of hot gases.

Carbon Steel
1. To ensure optimum long
term coating system
performance, surfaces must be clean, dry and free
from dirt, oil, grease, salts, welding flux, mill scale,
rust, oxides, old paint, corrosion products or other
foreign matter.
From ambient temperature to point of failure Thurmalox
26OC
TIC maintains a high degree of color stability
.
Generally color changes occur over a temperature
range of 25
50
F depending on specific formulation.
Thurmalox 260C
TIC also provides the same out
standing performance and application properties as
other coatings in the Thurmalox 260C TIC silicone
copolymer series, as described in Bulletin 260C TIC,
and it is suitable for direct application to hot surfaces of
operating process equipment.
