MasterSeries High Heat Ceramic Coating Product Data

Product

High heat jet turbine ceramic coating.

Description:

A high heat coating containing aluminum powder in an inorganic binder. This coating will air dry but can also be oven cured at temperatures of 226°F up to 1000°F.

Surface Preparation

Special care must be exercised in the preparation of the surface for all high quality, premium performance coatings.

1.) Degreasing. After sandblasting, it’s recommended that a Burns-O-Matic torch be passed over the manifolds or headers to bleed any oils from the substrate. This is especially important since this is a water based coating and it will not stick to a contaminated surface.

2.) Cleaning and roughening. All old coats, mill scale, rust, or other tightly adherent deposits must be removed by a method such as a dry grit blasting or vapor blasting. Grit blast, using clean aluminum oxide (AL203) grit, is the recommended cleaning procedure which is necessary for maximum adhesion to steel, although other abrasive methods may be satisfactory.

Application

This coating can be sprayed using a small touch-up gun using standard spray equipment or can be brushed. Foam brushes work best. Two coats are generally recommended. Minimum two hours between coats. Coating can be baked at 400°F for one hour or air dry for a minimum of 48 hours before being gently rubbed out with fine steel wool (0000 grade). Then apply a coat of metal polish for an outstanding shine.

Clean Up

Clean equipment using warm tap water.

Coverage

Theoretical coverage is 800 square feet per gallon at 1 mil. dry film thickness.

Removal Of Coating

If it should be necessary to remove the cured coating, it can be stripped by grit blasting or immersing in a hot (approximately 150°F) caustic soda solution. Care should be taken when using a caustic solution since hydrogen will be generated. Area should be well ventilated.

Precautions

Contains aluminum powder dispersed in alkali metal silicate solution.

WARNING: Alkali material causes irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

FIRST AID: In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Consult physician. For skin contact, flush with water.

SPILLAGE: Mop up with water and dispose of in accordance with federal, state and local environmental control regulations.

IMPORTANT: Since this product contains aluminum powder, direct contact with strong alkalis should be avoided since hydrogen gas will be produced. Because of the aluminum powder in this product, a clean spray area and duct system are important. It is hazardous to allow an accumulation of dried material to occur since this dried material in the form of dust could be ignited by sparks or other means and possibly cause a dust explosion as with any firmly divided powdered material.
