High-temperature resistant paint and flame retardant paints are special paint lines, although it is not a new concept, it is very confusing.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT-RESISTANT PAINT AND FIRE RETARDANT PAINT

The development of science and technology, in general, leads to the development of many professions, including industrial paint coming along with better quality, more functional benefits, and good aesthetics, 

Heat-resistant paint and flame retardant paints are special types of paints. Though they are not new inventors, there's still much confusion between them. Keep reading to know how to distinguish between two kinds of paints.

1. Definition

What is the difference between heat-resistant paint and flame retardant pain?

Heat resistant paint

Heat-resistant paint is a special kind of paint that can tolerate temperatures from 200ºC, 300ºC, 600ºC, to 1000ºC. Heat-resistant paint can resist high temperature, fire, rust, and smoke. It is made to tolerate high temperatures for long periods but cannot protect combustible materials such as wood. Heat-resistant paints are not made to resist fire. Instead, it only reduces the flames of fire and reduces the rate of fire for a limited time.

Fire retardant paint 

Fire retardant paint is a paint that can prevent the flame from spreading. Fire retardant paint reacts to intense heat by releasing a flame dampening gas to delay and prevent the spread of flames. Paint components will swell when exposed to fire. it bulges 40 to 70 times higher than the original, creating a protective foam in direct contact with fire. 

So the difference between a heat-resistant paint and a fire-retardant paint is that heat-resistant paint can only tolerate high temperatures while the other can resist fire.
