KO-8101 Elcon — heat-resistant enamel up to +700 °C for pipelines and the power industry
Silicone enamel for oil, steam and gas pipelines, chimneys and equipment; applied without primer, the black version withstands up to +700 °C.

KO-8104 enamel made by Elcon performs two tasks: it protects metal against corrosion when heated up to +700 °C — steam pipelines, furnaces, equipment — and serves as atmospheric paint for concrete and brick. It is based on modified silicone resin with a solution of pentaphthalic resin, manufactured to TU 2312-010-49222195-2012. No priming is needed, work is carried out at temperatures from −30 °C to +40 °C, and the palette is wide, with tinting to RAL K5.
