POLISHED ALUMINUM R05
The Finest In Liquid Spray Coatings...
DESCRIPTION:
R05 Coating is a metal oxide, aluminum powder mixture. This coating has exceptional coverage and is easy to apply. R05 is a coating used for corrosion protection and heat management over a wide range of applications and industries. R05 is designed to be sacrificial to protect metal substrates from corrosion and thermal degradation. R05 is durable and has excellent adhesion and a high level of malleability. R05 is most commonly used as a thermal barrier coating for automotive engine and exhaust components. It provides the Aerospace, Automotive, Marine and Mining Industries with materials to protect components from high temperature, oxidation, salt laden atmospheres, and chemicals and abrasives and provides sacrificial anodic protection.
TYPICAL USES:
R05 is used for coating exhaust components because of its heat retention and increased engine efficiency. R05 is applied to headers, exhaust piping, exhaust manifolds, piston crowns, combustion chambers, and the exhaust ports. Aerospace, Automotive, Marine and Mining companies utilize this coating for corrosion protection on steel components. R05 can be applied to: Stainless steel, cold rolled steel, ceramic, glass, aluminum, titanium, inconel and high nickel alloys. R05 cannot be applied to: Pot metal, magnesium and copper.
APPLICATION:
Preparation: Parts to be coated should be clean and contaminant free. R05 can be applied directly to ground, cast, or highly machined surfaces. The best performance has been found on metal surfaces that have been media blasted so the surface has a random profile. Certain surface pre-treatments can further enhance the performance of the coating.
Application: R05 is specially formulated and supplied for use in a conventional air-spray gun. A spray booth is advisable. Make sure the working area is adequately ventilated and observe the usual precautions for spray painting. Keep the product well-mixed both in the gun reservoir and circulating to and from the spray nozzle. The surface should be coated as evenly as possible. A cured film thickness of 0.00075 to 0.002 inch (0.019 to 0.051 mm) is recommended. Stir well before and during use. Dipping is also an adequate method if uniformity is not essential.
Curing: Suggested cure times are: 15 minutes at 400°C/750°F or 30 minutes at 343°C/650°F. Actual curing time will vary with substrate size, mass, material, coating thickness, type of oven and many other factors.
Additional information: Because solids tend to settle rapidly, it is ideal to keep material agitated continuously. Keep container sealed to prevent hydrolysis and solvent loss.
R05 requires no dilution.
