High Temperature Clear Gloss Paint
Thurmalox 293 Clear
Thurmalox 293 is a heat-resistant, fast-drying, silicone-based clear lacquer formulated to prevent tarnishing, discoloration and finger printing of metal parts used at elevated temperatures on items such as woodstoves, fireplace closures and other OEM applications. Thurmalox 293 fills the need for a finish which retains its clarity to 650°F (343°C) and its film integrity to 1000°F (538 °C).
