Special 2-pack high-performance finish for metal

Suitable for both air-drying and oven baking.

Adhesion, elasticity, hardness and very high chemical resistance.

Heat resistance up to 220°C.

Colours

Coating available in a wide range of colours, which can be made with reference to international charts or to match a sample. Attractive metallic versions.

Uses

Benchmark coating system for treating metalwork designed for a host of different purposes:

• motorcycle engine casings, cylinders, frames, wheels and parts
• large metal structures continuously exposed outdoors or to aggressive environments
• industrial machinery, farm equipment, tools, machine shop equipment, small items of occasional furniture, home accessories and eyewear

Performance

Exceptional unique product, famous and popular for its:

• extremely good adhesion
• great elasticity (suitable for coating prior to subsequent milling, cutting or drilling)
• hardness and abrasion resistance
• anticorrosive properties and chemical resistance to hydrocarbons and aggressive substances
• resistance to exposure to direct sunlight and the elements
• heat stability up to 220°C

Treatment of surfaces to be coated

It’s important to ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, removing machining swarf, grease and dirt. Surfaces must be cleaned by degreasing with suitable detergents or thinners.

You’re advised to abrasive blast or sand the surfaces to promote maximum adhesion, especially when dealing with stainless steel, aluminium and other metals with a reflective surface, or difficult metals such as copper, brass, titanium, magnesium, Ergal, etc..

Application

Apply by spraying, using traditional airmix or airless equipment. Fit spray guns with nozzles measuring between 1.2 and 1.7 mm and set air pressure to 3-4 bar.

The thickness of the film to be applied is in the range from 20 to 50 microns.

Air-dries at ambient temperature in approx. 30-40 minutes, though maximum performance is achieved once the surface has been left to cure for at least 5 days.

For ideal curing conditions, use an oven with the following setup: temperature 130-150°C for 60 minutes minimum.
