Heat-Resistant Coating for Kitchen Areas

How Heat Pro handles heat and scratches

Heat Pro is formulated as a flexible polyurethane top coat rather than a hard, brittle resin. It is designed to tolerate surface temperatures up to 200°C, covering most day-to-day kitchen contact such as a hot mug, plate or pan lid placed on a coated surface.

The elastic finish helps to absorb minor impacts and reduces the appearance of scratches, while remaining transparent and glossy. That makes it useful for resin-coated trays, coasters and small furniture pieces that get regular handling.

Practical kitchen applications and limits

For best results, reserve Heat Pro for small to medium epoxy resin projects such as coasters, trivets and compact countertop sections. The product data suggests an area up to approximately 0.5 m² is realistic for a controlled finish.

• Typical coverage: about 1.2 kg per 1 m² at a 1 mm layer.
• Gel time: roughly 3 hours after mixing.
• Full cure: approximately 24 hours at room temperature.
• Mixing ratio: 100:75 by weight without additional additives.

It is not a replacement for a heavy-duty kitchen worktop resin on large open surfaces. Unevenness may become apparent if you try to stretch it too far, and some acrylic surfaces can react, so a test patch with a basic epoxy layer first is sensible where compatibility is uncertain.

When this matters

This matters most when a kitchen surface has to cope with regular hot items but still needs a clear, glossy finish that does not yellow quickly. Heat Pro includes UV stabilisation to help reduce fading or yellowing over time, which is useful near bright kitchen windows or task lighting. If the coated surface is in a motorhome galley, the combination of heat tolerance and a wipeable finish can be particularly practical, but the coated area still needs to be kept compact for an even result.
