Where applicable these tests have been conducted on cold rolled steel Q-Panels that have been surface prepared to SSPC 10 (sandblasted) and spray coated with 4.0 mil DFT (dry film thickness) of Wearlon 2020.90 Primer, room temperature cured for 24 hours, followed by spray coating with Wearlon 2020.98 coating to 4.0 mil DFT. The coated panels were cured at room temperature (minimum of 20° C) for 7 days before testing commenced. For some tests, different samples were specifically required.

NOTE: Wearlon® silicone epoxies have a tendency to chalk and fade towards the yellow side, after extensive aging in sunlight. However, the physical and chemical properties are maintained. It is recommended to use yellow colors or dark colors to resist changes in appearance.

* The Cyano-acrylate adhesive bond to the coating fails before adhesion failure of the coating.
** Abrasion resistance will reduce as temperature is increased but non-stick properties are not affected.

This information is provided to assist the specifier in the selection of an appropriate coating for an end use situation. No warranty is expressed or implied since the surface preparation, thickness of application and the environmental conditions at the time of coating are beyond our control. The onus is on the user to determine if the product is fit for purpose. Should more information be required, please contact us and we will endeavor to be of assistance.
