Dura-Coat Abrasion Impact 308

Technical Data Sheet

DESCRIPTION AND RECOMMENDED USES: 100% solids, Dura-Coat Impact 308 is a fast-curing, solvent-free ceramic coating designed particularly as a protective coating for metals in highly aggressive environments, especially high-wear abrasion and high-impact resistance. Excellent in a wide range of caustics and acids. Dura-Coat Impact 308 can be easily applied using a plastic broom or putty knife up to 1000 mils without slumping.

  • It can be applied up to 1000 mils without slump
  • Suitable for any substrate, steel, bronze, aluminum, concrete
  • Suitable for corrosion and abrasion protection
  • Designed for rebuilding worn parts

Application Sheet

Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is critical to the long-term performance of this product. The exact requirements for surface preparation vary with the severity of the application, expected service life, and the initial substrate conditions. Minimum preparation is mechanical preparation St2/St3. Optimum preparation will provide a surface thoroughly cleaned of all contaminants and roughened to an angular profile between 75-125 μm (3-5 mil). This is normally achieved by initial cleaning and degreasing and then abrasive blasting to a cleanliness of Near White Metal (Sa.21/2), followed by removal of residual abrasive blast residues from the surface to be coated.

Mixing
Thoroughly mix Activator into Base with mixing stick or drill with low-speed mixing blade scraping sides and bottom of container or mixing board. Mix by Weight 2-parts Base to 1-part Activator. Mix thoroughly to produce an even colored and streak-free material. THINNING: Never thin.

Application
Use a heavy-duty plastic squeegee or putty knife to apply a minimum thickness of 6mm. Work the material into the substrate profile to achieve maximum adhesion and eliminate any trapped air. Contour to correct shape with putty knife or plastic applicator. If mold or form is used, ensure to coat its surface with a release agent to prevent material adhesion.

Application Temperature:
Keep between 55 to 95°F (17 to 35°C). Substrate: keep between 45 to 105°F (7 to 40°C). the difference in temperature of the substrate and the material should never exceed 10°F, 5°C. Substrate shall be a minimum of 5°F (3°C) above dew point. Do not apply if relative humidity exceeds 90%. If necessary, heat the metal prior to surface preparation using electric heater or heat lamp. Never use gas, oil, or kerosene heaters as they will leave a greasy residue on metal surface. For best results keep all material in warm area overnight (75°F+) for ease of mixing.
