Abstract

In this study, a heat resistant coating with thermal barrier property was  designed. Two types of silicone resin (based on methoxy methyl polysiloxane and methyl phenyl silicone resin) were used as thermal resistant binders, and the black iron oxide pigment and glass micro hollow sphere (MHS) additive were utilized to formulate the heat resistant/thermal barrier coatings. Coatings were applied to the steel substrates, and general properties of the coatings such as film formation, curing, and adhesion were then studied. The thermal stability of the coatings was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis up to 450 °C. The thermal conductivity coefficient of the coatings was measured by temperature modulated differential scanning colorimeter (TMDSC). Investigation of the properties of all coatings showed that the silicone coating with the 7% of hollow microsphere had higher thermal stability (Tmaximum weight loss= 538 °C) and better barrier properties (Thermal conductivity= 0.29 W/mK (compared with other coatings.
