FX-485 Teflon® Modified Corrosion Resistant Coating

DESCRIPTION:

FX-485 Teflon® Modified Corrosion Resistant Coating is a two-component, 100% solids, Teflon® modified, self-priming epoxy coating. FX-485 contains all multi-functional high performance epoxy resins and select anti-corrosive pigments. The TEFLON®* provides improved lubricity abrasion resistance, reduction of friction coefficient and prevents scale build up. FX-485 has excellent resistance to chemicals and hot water under continuous immersion. It is formulated in a convenient 1 to 1 ratio, by volume and long pot life for simple mixing and application without waste.

ADVANTAGES:

Excellent corrosion barrier properties.
Excellent chemical resistance.
Excellent adhesion to most metals.
Tough, tile-like finish.
It protects concrete, steel, or wood against attack by salts, acids, and alkalies.
Acceptable for potable water applications.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

Steel Surfaces: Steel surfaces should be abrasive blasted to a commercial gray metal finish as specified by the Steel Structures Painting Council SP-6. For immersion service, blast to near white blast SSPC SP-10.

MIXING:

Stir Component "B" thoroughly before combining with "A". Combine one part by volume of "A" with one part by volume of "B" (mixing ratio 1:1). Mix for not less than three minutes using a slow speed drill (300 to 600 rpm) and FX-Mixing Paddle. Avoid entrapping air. No induction time is needed before application.

APPLICATION:

FX-485 Teflon® Modified Corrosion Resistant Coating is an ideal tube coating which may be applied by brush, roller, or spray. All spray equipment must employ traps to prevent water and oil from contaminating coating. Thinning may be required for brushing and rolling. Heating may be required for spraying. Heating will shorten pot life to 20 minutes at 100°F. Apply immediately after mixing. Apply 10 mils wet film thickness. Apply topcoat after primer is tack free between 4 and 24 hours. If heated, the tack free time will be reduced.

COVERAGE:

200-300 square feet per gallon (per coat), dependent upon surface texture and desired thickness.

PACKAGING:

FX-485 Teflon® Modified Corrosion Resistant Coating is packaged in 2-gallon and 10-gallon kits.

CAUTION:

WARNING! "A" Component contains epoxy resin. DANGER! "B" Component contains alkaline amines; strong sensitizer. May cause skin sensitization or other allergic responses. Use with good ventilation, particularly if material is heated or sprayed. Prevent all contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective clothing, goggles, gloves, and/or barrier creams. Keep container closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after handling.

FIRST AID:

In case of contact, immediately wash with soap and water. In case of eye contact, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
