KBS XTC Clear is a clear high heat coat, rated for continuous service up to 1200 F once heat cured. It goes on exhaust manifolds, headers, mufflers, tractor exhaust stacks, wood stove and furnace exteriors, grill and smoker exteriors, and engine parts, and it will not peel, blister, or discolor when the heat comes on. With proper prep it gives excellent corrosion and weather resistance. XTC Clear adds gloss and protection over other XTC colors on headers, grills, smokers, and stoves.
