IRREVERSIBLE
& QUASI-REVERSIBLE PAINTS
TMC Clearline Thermal Indicating
paints provide a simple method of measuring temperature
with a single paint pack. Providing a non reversible,
accurate method of measuring temperature throughout the
range of 104°C/219°F to 1270°C/2318°F.
MAIN ADVANTAGES OF THESE IRREVERSIBLE
PAINTS
No primer necessary for most
surfaces
Fast reaction time
Superior performance in normal
and hostile environments
Ideal for producing thermal
surveys
A strong and clear colour
contrast
Resistant to oil, steam and
water
Requires no additives
41
standard change points available for temperatures 104°C/219°F
to 1270°C/2318°F
Specification:
Ref. SC paint;
Accuracy: +/- 5%.
Range:
135°C/275°F to 630°C/1166°F
Note:
Single change paints are also available
at 48oC and 80oC. However,
they are Quasi-reversible. They revert
back to their original colour when water is
applied.

SINGLE
CHANGE PAINTS
Single Change
Thermal Paints are now colour fast in direct
sunlight, resistant to chemical abuse and provide
a clearline colour change, proving to be an
extremely useful aid to the industrial, chemical
and petrochemical markets.
An ideal tool
for monitoring lined vessel plant, detecting
rise in surface temperature where the refractory
linings have broken down, acting as an invaluable
tool for this type of industry.
Supplied in 250ml,
500ml, 1 litre & 2.5 litres.

MULTI
CHANGE PAINTS
Multi Change Thermal
Paints withstand hostile environments and prove
a valuable asset, particularly when used in
conjunction with gas turbines and jet engines.
Being the only paint of its type known to retain
its surface adhesion at these temperatures thus
offering a high degree of protection from erosion.
Used extensively in rocketry and high speed
flight technology, these paints prove to be
an invaluable tool in thermal measurement.
Supplied in 250ml,
500ml, 1 litre & 2.5 litres. |
Specification:
Ref MC paint;
Accuracy: +/- 5%
Range: 104°C/219°F
to 1270°C/2318°F

Technical information
Some paints are available
in a Polyurethane type finish.
All Thermal Paints are time/temperature
dependent and in being so, such paints have a trigger temperature
below their specified rating.
A 235°C/455°F Thermal
Indicating paint after 1 hour would require only a sustained
temperature of 218°C/424°F to change its colour,
however, a temperature of 180°C/356°F will not cause
a colour change of the paint, therefore such a paint could
be recommended for work on projects which do not exceed
the normal running conditions of 180°C/356°F. Being
a general guide only, specific details should always be
requested. To obtain further advice we will need the following
information:
(a) The type of surface to
be painted, i.e. metal, stone, etc.
(b) Required trigger temperature
(c) The surface temperature
under normal conditions
(d) The ambient temperature
CAUTION: It is, when
testing, advisable to apply two coats of thermal paint.
No undercoat is necessary when used for test purposes. When
calculating requirements allow 1 litre per 6 sq. metres.
Technical Data Sheets are
available on request. Please contact
us.
