Supplied for controlled application with a standard cartridge gun, it sets at room temperature and can be sanded and painted once fully cured.

Features & Benefits

Heat Resistant up to 1,300°C

Engineered to withstand temperatures up to 1,300°C (2,370°F), making it suitable for sealing joints and components exposed to extreme heat.

Strong High-Temperature Bond

Forms a robust bond across a wide variety of high-temperature materials, including metal, ceramics, glass and silica-based substrates.

Resistant to Thermal Cycling

Excellent resistance to repeated heating and cooling helps the sealant maintain its integrity where components are subjected to regular thermal expansion and contraction.

Caulking-Grade Formulation

The paste consistency provides accurate and controlled application using a cartridge gun, making it easier to apply an even bead into joints and gaps.

Suitable for Domestic & Industrial Applications

Suitable for high-temperature sealing around fireplaces, stoves and ovens, as well as demanding industrial applications including furnaces, kilns and thermal processing equipment.

Sandable & Paintable

Once completely cured, the sealant can be sanded and over-painted, allowing the finished installation to be neatly integrated with surrounding surfaces.

Certified Fire Performance

Certified to EN 45545-2:2020, meeting requirement sets R22 and R23 for hazard levels HL1, HL2 and HL3, making it suitable for specified applications requiring validated fire-performance characteristics.

Product Overview

VITCAS HRS Heat Resistant Sealant 1,300°C provides a versatile solution for sealing and jointing materials exposed to exceptionally high temperatures.

Its ability to bond to ceramics, metals, silica-based materials and glass makes it suitable for a broad range of applications. In domestic heating installations, it can be used around fireplaces, stoves and other suitable high-temperature areas. Industrial applications extend to kilns, furnaces, ovens, process equipment and thermal housings.

The sealant is particularly useful where joints experience repeated heating and cooling. Its resistance to thermal shock and thermal cycling helps minimise the risk of cracking or deterioration caused by changing temperatures.

For specialist applications, the sealant's EN 45545-2:2020 certification also makes it suitable for appropriately specified railway, transport and industrial installations requiring recognised fire-performance characteristics.

Application Instructions

1. Prepare the Surface

Ensure all surfaces are clean and free from dust, rust, grease and other contaminants that could affect adhesion.

2. Prepare the Cartridge

Cut the cartridge tip, attach the application nozzle and trim the nozzle to produce the required bead size.

3. Apply the Sealant

Using a suitable cartridge gun, apply the sealant evenly to the joint. Aim for a joint thickness of approximately 2–3mm.

4. Allow to Set

The sealant will initially set at room temperature. Ensure it has been allowed to set appropriately before beginning the heat-curing process.

5. Gradually Apply Heat

Curing can be accelerated by gradually applying heat for approximately four hours. Avoid exposing the sealant to excessive temperature too quickly and follow the manufacturer's curing instructions.

6. Finish the Surface

Once completely cured, the sealant can be sanded and over-painted where required to achieve the desired finished appearance.

Delivery

Gosforth Fire Station offer free delivery on all order overs £100.00 to mainland UK. Unfortunately at this time we are unable to offer free delivery to the following locations. Northern Ireland (not stoves), The Channel Islands, The Isle of Man, The Isle of Wight, and all other Offshore Islands. If you are ordering from one of these locations please proceed with the order and once received a member of the team will be in touch to advise the delivery cost should you wish to go ahead.

Part of the reason why we can keep our prices so low is that we don’t hold huge amounts of stock. Due to this, most orders are ordered in from our suppliers on request. We therefore aim to dispatch orders from our showroom 5-10 days after the order is placed. We are working hard to bring this lead time down

Once the order is placed you will receive an order confirmation with an estimated delivery date.>

Once we are in the position to offer a firm delivery date a member of the team will be in touch to book a convenient delivery day with you.

Large Item delivery Information

Large items such as stoves, fires and outdoor lifestyle products will be delivered by a national pallet delivery service.

These items usually arrive on a large 7.5 tonne truck with a tail lift. If you think access for the delivery vehicle may be an issue please let us know at the time of ordering and we will work with you to find a solution.

The driver is contracted to deliver the item by pallet truck and will therefore be unable to move the item across uneven ground, grass, gravel and narrow openings.

Due to the weight and insurances drivers will not be able to assist with carrying any of the items into your property. It is the responsibility of the customer to prepare a suitable area for the goods to be left before they are taken inside. All goods must be checked while the driver is on site. They are obliged to wait with you for up to 15 minutes while you carry out these checks.

If the driver refuses to wait please mark the goods as “damaged”. On the rare occasion that the goods are damaged please mark the delivery note as “damaged” and refuse the delivery. Please take photos of the damage and contact a member of the team as soon as possible to report the damage. Damages must be reported within 24 hours of the delivery taking place.

Failed Deliveries

If for any reason you are not in when the delivery arrives on the pre-arranged delivery day a re-delivery charge will be payable.

Unfortunately if an order is cancelled after it has been dispatched, even If it has not yet reached you, the cost of the return delivery to us will be taken from the refund amount.

Smaller item delivery/strong>

Smaller items such as barbecue / fireside accessories will usually be delivered by DPD. They will contact you directly by email and text message to advise of the delivery day and time.

For larger items on the national pallet service deliveries take place Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.

Smaller items delivered by courier can be delivered Monday - Sunday.
