This state-of-the-art report is intended to aid individuals who specify and use liquid-applied high-temperature-resistant coatings for metallic surfaces in atmospheric service. This report provides information regarding binder and pigment types used in the formulation of these coatings, their heatresistant properties, and typical service environments. The types of surfaces over which these coatings are applied and the typical level of cleanliness of these surfaces is also discussed, as well as application methods, application thicknesses, curing conditions, and possible causes of common failures of high-temperature coatings.
