PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
Committee CH-003, Paints and Related Materials to supersede AS/NZS 3750.3:1994. It
forms part of a series of product Standards for paints referred to in AS/NZS 2312, Guide to
the protection of structural steel against atmospheric corrosion by the use of protective
coatings.
See AS/NZS 3750.0 for other published Standards is this series.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part
of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.

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.
1.3 DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this Standard, the definitions given in AS/NZS 2310 and those below
apply.
1.3.1 Type 1 product
A single-component silicone acrylic paint, classed as Paint Reference C27 in AS/NZS 2312,
which is available in a limited colour range and intended as a finishing coat over inorganic
zinc silicate primer. It provides a decorative appearance with heat resistance to a continuous
temperature of 200°C and for limited periods at 230°C.

3.1 PACKAGING
Paints should be packaged in clean and dry containers constructed of materials which are
inert to the contents and sufficiently robust to withstand normal conditions of handling and
storage without rupture or leakage. The containers should be capable of being readily
resealed so as to be gastight.
Containers are to comply with statutory requirements relevant to the transport and storage
of flammable liquids, as specified in the current edition of the ADG Code.
NOTES:
1 AS 2854 and AS 2905 specify suitable containers for paints and related materials.
2 The ADG Code does not apply in New Zealand. In New Zealand, refer to NZS 5433.
3.2 LABELLING
The following information shall be legibly and durably marked on each container, or on a
label permanently attached to each container:
(a) The name or registered mark of the manufacturer.
(b) The words ‘Heat Resisting Paint for Steel’ or equivalent wording.
(c) The type of heat resisting paint and the manufacturer’s specified maximum
temperature resistance.
(d) The contents of the container by volume, in litres.
(e) Where appropriate, a statement that the paint is a two-component material.
(f) The production or batch number of the contents that can be traced back to the date of
manufacture.
(g) Information required by relevant regulatory authorities.
(h) Guidance on the use of the paint.
NOTE: Manufacturers making a statement of compliance with this Australian/New Zealand
Standard on a product, packaging, or promotional material related to that product are advised to
ensure that such compliance is capable of being verified.

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