As many older refineries and chemical plants upgrade and expand, the demand for high temperature coatings that are suitable for use in-situ has increased. In addition to greater temperature and cyclic temperature tolerance, engineers and coating specifiers are now looking towards coatings that can be applied over both compromised and elevated temperature substrates.

This paper outlines field experience with the new generation high temperature coatings in both new construction and maintenance situations. In addition, laboratory testing results and evaluation over elevated temperature substrates is discussed.
