Protectapeel: PC100 TECHNICAL DATA

Download this technical sheet in PDF format.

COMPOUND:
  Protectapeel: PC100
 
TYPE:
  Water dispersion (neutral)
 
COLOR:
 

Grey.  Also available in clear or pigmented in different colors by request.

 
USE:
  Strippable (peelable) coating for masking and protecting plastic or painted surfaces against abrasion and staining. Do not use on non-coated wooden surfaces. Protects non-skid walkways.
 
TOXICITY:
  The compound is non toxic and non flammable in the wet state. The dry film waste may be disposed of as low hazard.
 
APPLICATION:
 

By roller. Use lambswool roller and apply generously to give a minimum wet film thickness of 4mm DFT (dry film thickness). IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ACHIEVE AN EVEN DFT OF MIN 4mm. Anything less may result in the film becoming difficult to remove. Try and avoid “feather edges”. In order to achieve a defined edge it may help to apply masking tape, roller up to and over the tape and remove tape whilst Protectapeel is still wet.

Applications over rough surfaces or where subject to regular foot traffic the Protectapeel should be applied at around 6 Thou min. DFT.

 
REPAIR:
  If the Protectapeel film rips the flap may be lifted and resealed by applying a fresh wet coat to the underside and resealing. Alternatively, cut away flap and re-apply fresh coating, it will bond to itself.
 
EXTERNAL WEATHER RESISTANCE:
  Long term exposure to sunlight will cause premature deterioration and embrittling of the film. Saturation in water will soften the film and although this will recover, we do not recommend trafficking the coating whilst wet. If components are to be stored externally for several weeks, we recommend the application of our acrylic top coat SC1090 which will protect for 12 months and more.
 
DRYING TIME:
  Will vary according to humidity and temperature. Do not attempt to traffic the Protectapeel until it has fully dried. The evaporation of water will be speeded by air movement and warmth.
 
PROCESS:
  PC100 meets the requirements in processing as mask against sprayed emulsion paints, lacquers, oil or grease.
 
REMOVAL:
  The dry film can be easily removed either by hand stripping or pressure washing. Protectapeel coatings are thermoplastic; we do not recommend removal in freezing conditions as the coating will be brittle.
 
COVERAGE:
  One Gallon will cover approximately 100 Sq. Ft. at a dry film thickness of 4mm.
   
STORAGE:
  Shelf life 12 months. Store at temperatures between 38F to 80F.
DO NOT ALLOW LIQUID TO FREEZE.
   
CLEAN DOWN:
  Clean airless sprayer or rollers in water immediately after use.
