Capalac Heizkörperlack
The specialist for radiators
Field of Application
Suitable for intermediate and finishing coats on primed radiators and pipelines of hot water heating systems, indoors.Note: For interior coatings on large (seamless) surfaces the use of acrylic enamel Capacryl Heizkörper-Lack is advisable, due to the product typical odour development of alkyd enamels
(alkyd resin varnishes).
Material Properties
- Non-aromatic solvent.
- Cobalt-free.
- Very easy to apply.
- Fast-drying.
- High opacity (hiding/covering power), even on edges.
- Heat-resistant up to 180 °C
- Highly non-yellowing in hot water heating system areas < 60 °C
- Superior flow.
- High impact strength and shock resistance.
- Resistant to common household detergents and short-term resistance against weak acids and alkalis.
Material Base / Vehicle
Alkyd resin with non-aromatic solvents.Packaging/Package Size
375 ml, 750 ml, 2.5 litresColours
White.Note: The typical yellowing effect on the surface of white and light-coloured alkyd enamels may occur (caused by low UV radiation or chemical influences due to e.g. ammonia vapour from detergents, adhesives, paint or sealing compounds). This yellowing is no product defect and cannot be objected.

| Consumption ml/m2 | 80 - 110 | 70 - 90 | 90 | 100 |
Consumption are guide values, influenced by the substrate condition. Determine the exact amount of material required by coating a test area on site.
Application Conditions
Lower Temperature Limit for Application and Drying:+ 5 °C for product, substrate and ambient air.
Drying/Drying Time
| At 20 °C and 65 % relative humidity. | dust dry | touch dry | recoatable | spray application is possible |
| after hours | 3 | approx. 12 | 20 | 20 |
Lower temperatures and higher humidity extend the drying time.
Tool Cleaning
Clean tools immediately after use with white spirit.
Special Risks (Hazard Note) / Safety Advice (Status as at Date of Publication)
Flammable liquid and vapor. If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand. Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. IF ON SKIN (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water. In case of fire: Use dry sand, dry chemical or alcohol-resistant foam to extinguish. Dispose of contents/ container to an approved waste disposal plant. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Warning! Hazardous respirable droplets may be formed when sprayed. Do not breathe spray or mist.Disposal
Materials and all related packaging must be disposed of in a safe way in accordance with the full requirements of the local authorities. Particular attention should be made to removing wastage from site in compliance with standard construction site procedures.In Germany: Only completely empty containers should be handed in for recycling. Dispose containers with residues of liquid product via waste collection point accepting old paints and enamels. Dispose dried/hardened product residues as construction site/demolition/municipal or domestic waste.
