L-66L CLEAR BAKED PHENOLIC COATING

GENERIC TYPE: Baking phenolic

RECOMMENDED USAGE: Heresite L-66L baking phenolic coating offers consistent, high-quality service in a wide range of applications in immersion service for most acids, solvents, and salts.

Typically Heresite L-66L is used over the Hersite P-403 or P-403L brown baking phenolic coatings to provide improved release properties and/or to prevent some products from contacting the pigment of the Heresite P-403 or P-403L brown coatings. Heresite L-66L is also used as an electrical insulator.

Applications include: tank linings, fans, blowers, filter plates, tank car, tank trailers, duct work, exhaust hoods, and other industrial equipment.

Heresite L-66L meets the requirements of the U.S. Federal Register, Food and Drug Regulations, Title 21, Chapter 1, Paragraph 175.300.

This material is also available with plasticizers which improve flexibility.

PHYSICAL DATA:

Solids by Weight: Approx. 57%
Solids by Volume: Approx. 56%
Pot Life: N.A.
Shelf Life: 4 mos.@ 70°F (21°C)
V.O.C. 2.1 lbs./gal. as supplied

ABRASION RESISTANCE: A 43 mg loss is observed with a Tabor Abrasor CS-17F wheel with a 1000 g. weight for 1000 cycles.

TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS: Heresite L-66L accepts dry heat temperatures up to 400°F (204°C)

STANDARD COLOR: Amber

COVERAGE: Theoretical coverage -- 896 square feet per gallon per mil. Recommended total dry film thickness is 1.5 to 2.0 mils in a 1-2 coat system. (At 1.5 mils DFT, average coverage would be 478 square feet per gallon. This includes a 20% loss factor.)

SURFACE PREPARATION: Remove all oil or grease from the surface with an appropriate solvent.

STEEL:
IMMERSION:
A white metal blast is required in accordance with NACE #1 or SSPC-SP-5-63 specification.

NON-IMMERSION: A commercial blast is acceptable in accordance with NACE #3, or SSPC-SP-6-63 specifications.

PRIMER: Normally L-66L is used as a top coat for Heresite P-403 or P-403L brown baking phenolic coatings. L-66L may be used without primer.

THINNER: Under normal conditions we recommend use of Heresite S-217 Solvent. In hot weather or open rooms we suggest Heresite S-276. In confined spaces or cooler weather, use Heresite S-215.

THINNING: The amount of thinner required is dependent upon temperature, ventilation, humidity, spray equipment used, and desired film thickness. Suggested thinning at 75°F (24°C) is 20-30%.

MIXING: Mix thoroughly and adjust viscosity per manufacturer's recommendations.

(Approximately 20 seconds with a Zahn #2 cup at 72°F or 15 seconds with a Ford #4 at 72°F.)

APPLICATION:

  1. Do not apply if temperature is less than 5°F (2°C) above dew point.
  2. All spray equipment shall be thoroughly cleaned and the hoses in particular shall be free of old paint film and other contaminants.
  3. Use standard production type conventional air spray guns:
    Guns Fluid Air
    DeVilbiss JGA-502 E 704
    Binks #62 66-SS 66-SD
    Graco P800 04 02

    Airless spray equipment: 1500-1800 PSI liquid pressure. Tip size from .015" to .019". Thinning requirements are less than for conventional spray.

  4. Air supply shall be uncontaminated. Adjust air pressure to approximately 50-70 lbs. at the gun and provide 15-20 lbs. pot pressure. Adjust spray gun by first opening liquid valve and then adjust air valve to give approximately an 8" to 12" fan, holding gun perpendicular to the surface at a distance of 12".
  5. Apply a mist bonding pass.
  6. Allow to flash off for several minutes but not long enough to allow film to completely dry.
  7. Apply 3-4 criss-cross multi-passes maintaining a wet appearing film.
  8. Air dry 30 minutes with ventilation, prior to introducing heat.
  9. After the air dry period has elapsed, the temperature should be raised approximately 40F (22C) in increments of 30 minutes until the desired temperature is reached.
    Intermediate Bake Surfaces
    Normal 175°F-200°F (93°C) for 10-20 min.
  10. After cooling to 70-90°F, repeat steps 7-9 until desired DFT is obtained. Holiday test and repair if required. Final cure is done by raising the temperature in increments of 40° (22°C) every 30 minutes until the desired temperature is reached.
    Final Bake Surfaces
    Normal 400°F (204°C) for 1-1½ hr.

CLEAN UP: Use Heresite S-215 Solvent.

STORAGE CONDITIONS: Coating should not be stored longer than 4 mos. at 70°F (21°C).
