Hello,
I am starting a business which will use rebar rods in a
consumer environment. It will be exposed to very high heat
(wood fire). Rebar by itself is ugly and rusts easily. I
want to paint/coat it with a fireproof covering (preferably
black). Or, even better (and this is a stretch), a glow in
the dark, flame-proof coating.
Can anyone give me any ideas? I would greatly appreciate
it.
Thank you,

Hi Greg,
As far as I know there are two types of coating, fire
retardant and intumescent paints. Type these two names into
Google to obtain a vast array of information and names of
contacts who can supply the right product for your new
project. Best of luck.

Porcelain coatings, although not actually paint, would be
ideal for this. And if the re-bar is red hot they will glow
:-)
But that's not something you can field apply, you would
need to contract with a porcelaining jobshop.
