The first switch-on of the season is the most honest test there is. During the months of downtime the metal worked the same: condensation in the firebox, humidity in the flue, and where the paint was already weakened the summer did the rest. You can see it immediately, as soon as the temperature rises. Bubbles…

450 degrees continuously. 600 peak. These are the two numbers of Termoviv 600°, and put together they tell us where the product can fit. 450 is the operating temperature at which the product can work without interruption: fireplaces, boilers, interiors of ovens not intended for food use. 600 is the thermal peak that the coating…

There are two numbers on a high-temperature paint sheet, and you almost always look at the wrong one. The big number is the peak: the temperature the coating can withstand for short intervals. It hits, but that’s not what it’s designed for. The data that decides whether a cycle holds is the other, the continuous…

Above 300 degrees, Termoviv 600° still has the color you applied it with. The credit goes to the silicone binder. Organic binders, above a certain temperature, begin to degrade and take away the color fastness. Silicone resin does not: it remains stable, and the finish maintains the appearance it had on the first day. No…

Turn the stove back on in October and black is no longer the same black. Where the heat really beats, on the mouth of the hearth and on the first section of the barrel, the color fades: it turns towards grey, loses depth, in certain points it becomes opaque in patches. The artifact is healthy…

Three hours. Then the piece moves. Termoviv 600° Heat-Free is a single-component silicone paint for high temperatures, and it does something that almost no one in this family of products does: it dries in the air. No baking, no cooking, no cooling. The painted products move already approximately two to three hours after application. What…

A quote is done quickly when the numbers are clear. Here they are. VIVEPOX FONDO TIXO yields 4.5 m² per kg at 100µm dry thickness, with a dry residue of 76%: you measure the surface and you know how much product to order. 20% catalysis, application by brush, roller or spray. The colours: white RAL…

There is a reason why you can find the same primer in carpentry, in a foundry and on a naval dock. Where the work is demanding, the enemy is always the same: corrosion. Only the forms it takes change: saltiness, chemical vapours, abrasion, bad weather. VIVEPOX FONDO TIXO was created for these environments: industrial mechanics…

What if you don’t have to wait between primer and finish? With VIVEPOX FONDO TIXO you can paint wet on wet. On two-component finishes there is no need to wait for the primer to dry completely: apply the primer and move on to the finish in the same work session. For production it means only…

When a paint job fails, everyone looks at the finish. It’s almost always what’s underneath that is to blame. Detachments, bubbles, rust that resurfaces after a few months: in most cases the problem is the wrong base for the support, poorly applied or skipped altogether to save a step. The primer is not an extra…

A base that stays where you put it, even at high thicknesses. It is thixotropy, and it is the heart of VIVEPOX FONDO TIXO. Its thixotropic modification does a simple thing: the product flows under the brush or spray, then regains body as soon as it is applied. No drips on vertical surfaces, no sagging…
