Patent ID: 8292999

Claim:
An exhaust pipe paint for application to an exhaust pipe base, the exhaust pipe paint comprising: an inorganic glass particle; an inorganic particle; and at least one of an inorganic binder and a precursor of said inorganic binder, said inorganic binder partially softening at a softening temperature of said inorganic glass particle, wherein said inorganic glass particle comprises at least one of SiO 2 —B 2 O 3 —ZnO glass, SiO 2 —B 2 O 3 —Bi 2 O 3 glass, SiO 2 —PbO glass, SiO 2 —PbO—B 2 O 3 glass, SiO 2 —B 2 O 3 —PbO glass, B 2 O 3 —ZnO—PbO glass, B 2 O 3 —ZnO—Bi 2 O 3 glass, B 2 O 3 —Bi 2 O 3 glass, B 2 O 3 —ZnO glass, and BaO—SiO 2 glass, wherein said inorganic binder comprises at least one of silica sol, alumina sol, and silica-alumina sol, and wherein the precursor of said inorganic binder comprises at least one of silicon alkoxide and aluminum alkoxide.
