Heat Resistant Paints - up to 1200 degrees F, 650 degrees C.
Why Heat Resistant 'Stove' and 'Exhaust' Paints are different to Fire Retardant Paints
Heat Resistant Paints are NOT "Fire Paints". They do not protect the materials under them from Fire. Such paints are called 'Fire Retardant Paints' and only operate once, in a real fire. Such Fire Retardant Paints give off a harmless, inert gas (to stop surface spread of flame) and the Intumescent Fire Paints beneath the top coats swell up to 40 times their original thickness to provide an insulating barrier.
Heat Resistant Paints remain as surface coatings and do not gas or swell up.
IMPORTANT - Heat Resistant Paints will not stop a vulnerable material beneath the paint from heat damage or fire - they just protect themselves from breaking down at very high (stove) temperatures.
Do not rely on Heat Resistant Paints to protect delicate or flammable surfaces (e.g. wood, paper)

On the other hand:
Fire Retardant Paints give off a harmless, inert gas (to stop surface spread of flame) and Intumescent Fire paints swell up to 40 times their original thickness to provide an insulating barrier.
'Fire Paint' is a general term rather misleadingly used to cover both Fire Resistant Paint, used as a top coat to protect the Intumescent Paint beneath and Intumescent Paint or Intumescent Varnish, which are both fairly soft coatings used as a primer. Class O and Class 1 are Classifications used regarding fire action on the surface of the paint, whereas 30 Minutes, 60 Minutes and 90 Minutes describe the period of protection given by the underlying Intumescent layers of Intumescent Paint or Intumescent Varnish.
We can provide an Intumescent Paint price based on the thickness of the wood or steel to be protected, and a separate price for the Fire Rated paint used as a top coat, which acts as a retardent fire layer, producing an inert gas to protect itself.
