About Paint and Protective Coatings
More
Paint for Metal
Paint metal surfaces to stop rust from starting and prevent existing rust from spreading. Scrape rusty areas clean before application. Although primer is not required for use on all materials, it can be used to prepare any surface to maximize the life and corrosion resistance of paint.
Silicone paint stops corrosion on high-temperature surfaces, such as smokestacks, incinerators, heaters, and heat exchangers. To apply paint with a 2-hour overall dry time, spray paint on, and then increase the temperature two to three times (450° to 650° F), allowing surface to cool between firings.
Paint in an aerosol can does not require a primer.
Apply paint in a one-gallon can with a brush, roller, or sprayer.

Two-Part Silicone Potting Compounds
Encase electronic assemblies in a layer of silicone for protection from dust, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Softer and more flexible than epoxies and urethanes with the widest temperature range, silicone potting compounds are the best choice for high-temperature applications and electronics exposed to thermal cycling. They have good moisture resistance but poor chemical and abrasion resistance. Silicones provide excellent electrical insulation. They’re also known as RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
Cartridge potting compound requires a gun (sold separately) to dispense; use it with the included mixer nozzle.

Ready-to-Use Silicone Potting Compounds
No mixing required --these potting compounds come ready to apply. Use them to encase electronic assemblies for protection from dust, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration. Softer and more flexible than epoxies and urethanes with the widest temperature range, silicone potting compounds are the best choice for high-temperature applications and electronics exposed to thermal cycling. They have good moisture resistance but poor chemical and abrasion resistance. Silicones provide excellent electrical insulation. They're also known as RTV (room-temperature vulcanizing).
Potting compounds that cannot be sold to California exceed local regulatory limits on VOCs (volatile organic compounds).

Heavy Duty High-Purity Light-Activated Coatings for Electronics
This coating is formulated for use in sensitive applications such as manufacturing semiconductors. Thinner than potting compounds, it flows easily into small spaces between electrical components. The coating begins to harden when exposed to UV light. Use it to secure and insulate hardware on printed circuit boards. It requires a gun (sold separately) to dispense.

Moisture-Resistant Reflective Silicone Coatings for Roofs
Made from silicone, these coatings are more durable than acrylic coatings for roofs and have better resistance to pooling water. They reflect up to 90% of the sun's rays to reduce cooling costs. Coatings are self-leveling and have excellent adhesion to most roof surfaces. They begin to protect against rain in as few as 60 minutes after application. Apply to a dry surface with a squeegee or brush.
