For more than 100 years, Dampney Co. has provided high-performance, high-temperature protective coating solutions for the refining, petrochemical, chemical processing, oil and gas, pipeline, power, original equipment manufacturer (OEM), pulp and paper, and materials processing markets around the globe. Its newest addition of coating solutions is made of the same quality and with the same dedication as when Dampney started in early 20th-century Boston.
The company's newest product line is the Thurmalox 884 TIC (temperature-indicating coating), which provides users with a visual warning that a pipe, vessel, reactor, transfer line or similar equipment is overheating due to the failure of refractory linings or the bypassing of hot gasses. This line of protective coatings allows for a range of temperatures and colors to help identify hot spots on refractory-lined equipment and process vessel overheating.
One of the most common applications of these products is the protection of insulated or uninsulated metals exposed to extreme temperatures and corrosion. Thurmalox 884 works well for metal surfaces that are subjected to intense heat. A temperature-indicating paint, Thurmalox 884, can be used in the heat treating and OEM industries where an indicator is required as part of a heating or curing process.
Characteristics and benefits of the Thurmalox 884 include:
- Very sharp, easily seen, irreversible color change.
- One- and two-step color change options.
- Suitable for shop or field application.
- Acceptable for use on ferrous and nonferrous metals.
- Can be recoated with itself after repairs.
- Applied over suitable inorganic zincrich primers, silicone primers or existing coated surfaces.
- Applied by brush, roller, conventional or airless spray methods.
- Contains no heavy metals.
Dampney's Thurmalox coatings exemplify the company's commitment to solving industry's most extreme coating problems. The Thurmalox line offers solutions for harsh environments with extreme temperatures, corrosion under insulation, high-build corrosion, hot water-side corrosion and in-service hot equipment applications.
