A line of protective coatings that provide a visual warning that a pipe, vessel, reactor, transfer line and similar equipment is overheating due to failure of refractory linings or the bypassing of hot gasses is available from Dampney Company, Inc. Dampney Thurmalox 260 TIC Series Coatings change color at predetermined temperatures to provide a visual warning that an interior lining system has failed and indicate where corrective action is required. Featuring a high degree of color stability, the changes occur at intervals from 25 to 50 degrees F, depending upon formulation, and coatings are available in colors that change permanently at predetermined increasing temperatures from 400 to650 degrees F. Self-priming and VOC compliant, Dampney Thurmalox 260 TIC Series Coatings are offered in yellow, blue, red and violet colors, which exhibit a very sharp, easily seen color change from 25 CIElab scale Delta E units. Suitable for application by spray, brush or roller, these coatings are designed to provide corrosion resistance, good weathering and UV stability, the company said.
