BFI BLUE POLYURETHANE MIXED SYSTEM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Pruett Schaffer’s 66-65 Blue Polyurethane is a two component, air drying, solvent thinned, polyisocyanate cured polyester coating. It is designed as a spray applied, heavy duty, high gloss anticorrosive coating it can be used direct to metal.

RECOMMENDED USES

Use to protect metal from corrosion in aggressive environments where chemicals, acid, alkali, salt, water, fuels, and oils are present. This coating exhibits excellent flexibility and resistance to impact cracking, and has excellent adhesion to difficult metal substrates. It is not recommended for constant immersion service.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Remove all oil, grease or foreign substances with chemical, detergent or solvent cleaning.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Mix 3 parts by volume #66-65-A Blue with 1 part 66-B FLEX Hardener. 66-65-A Component will not dry unless mixed with 66--B!

THINNING

Thin if necessary for spraying with acetone. Add a little solvent at a time to the mixed system with constant gentle agitation to a maximum of 5% by volume.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

May be applied by conventional siphon, air assisted or airless spray. Apply at 3 to 3.5 mils wet film thickness to yield 1.5-1.75 mils dry film thickness. Best results are obtained from films of 1-2 dry mils, films thicker than 2 mils may bubble. Apply when air and substrate temperatures are between 50-110 ^F.

CURE TIMES & TEMPERATURES

Cures set-to-touch in 3 to 5 hours at 75 ^F, cures to handle in 24 hours. 2 hour pot life. Although re-coating is not normally necessary, the coating may be touched up or recoated. The recoat window is 8 to 96 hours; waiting longer may result in reduced adhesion of the second coat. Allow 7-10 days cure at 75 ^F before placing into severe service, longer cure times may be necessary if the ambient temperature is significantly lower.

CLEANUP

Clean equipment with xylol or methyl isobutyl ketone before the film cures.
