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.

EMI/RFI Shielding Coatings for Electronics

Protect sensitive electronic parts, enclosures, and prototypes from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) with these coatings. Also known as conductive paint, these coatings block EMI and RFI from disrupting electrical, data, and radio signals, which can cause circuit malfunctioning and data loss.
For best adhesion, apply to clean, oil-free surfaces. If applying to highly chemical-resistant plastics such as PVC and PTFE, use a primer first.
Nickel acrylic coatings are made with nickel flakes mixed with acrylic. They’re the best in our offering for protecting magnetic components, since they absorb and redirect magnetic fields. While not as conductive as silver acrylic coatings, they still protect against a broad spectrum of EMI and RFI frequencies. Use them to repair small circuits on circuit boards and to coat devices such as meter and scanner housings. They have good corrosion resistance.
Coatings that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted by product labeling requirements.
