| General Description |
Polyarmor® G18 is a functionalized polyethylene copolymer based thermoplastic powder coating designed specifically for low temperature “Oil & Gas Pipeline” applications where maximum mechanical performance, impact resistance and UV-stability is required. Polyarmor® G18 is a good general purpose protective coating. |
| Application Data |
| Surface Preparation |
Chemical Pretreatment |
Multi-stage phosphate conversion coating may be used. Please visit with your local chemical pretreatment supplier for advice on the products that fit your application.
|
Mechanical Preparation (Grit Blasting) |
(SSPC-SP6) 2-3 mil anchor profile using clean, sharp edged blast media.
|
NOTE: Properly preparing parts before powder coating is essential for a quality finish. This includes cleaning, rinsing, drying and insuring that the substrate surface is free and clear of any contaminates. |
| Fluidized Bed |
For fluidized-bed dipping, preheat parts to 400° F (adjust according to part thickness). Dip parts in fluidized-bed of Polyarmor® G18 for 4-6 seconds. Carefully blow off excess powder. For improved surface finish (if necessary), parts may be post-baked for a short period of time. |
| Electrostatic Deposition |
For electrostatic deposition, preheat parts to 400° F. Deposit Polyarmor® G18 8-12 mils thick. For improved surface finish (if necessary), parts may be post-baked for a short period of time. |

| NO CURE TIME! |
Thermoplastic powder coatings need only be heated enough to flow out the coating, nothing more. Overheating may cause degradation or embrittlement of the coating. Coating may be put into service when cooled. |
