Paints for steel structures
 
Part 3: Heat resisting—Exterior
SECTION 1 SCOPE AND GENERAL
1.1 SCOPE This Standard sets out requirements for singke- 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
27, 28, 29, 30, 31, and 35 in AS 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 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 Means for determining compliance with this Standard are given in Appendix C.
5 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
1.2 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS A list of the documents referred to in this Standard
is contained in Appendix D.
1.3. DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this Standard, the definitions given in AS 2310 and
those below apply.
NOTE: In New Zealand, NZS 2154 should be referred to in lieu of AS 2310.
