Chemical and Durability Tests

Salt Spray	ISO 7253 (250 hours)	Pass – no corrosion creep more than 2mm from scribe
Cyclic Humidity	ISO 6270-1 (1000 hours)	Pass – no blistering or loss of gloss
Distilled Water Immersion	ISO 2812 (240 hours)	Pass – no blistering or loss of gloss
Exterior Durability	Excellent – non chalking, slight loss of gloss after 12 months continuous exposure but no film breakdown or reduction in protective properties
Chemical Resistance	Generally excellent resistance to most acids, alkalis and oils at normal temperatures
Colour Stability at Elevated temperatures	Excellent for continuous exposure up to 150°C.

Pre-treatment

Aluminium, steel or Zintec surfaces to be coated must be clean and free from grease. Iron phosphate and particularly lightweight zinc phosphating of ferrous metals improves corrosion resistance. Aluminium substrates may require a chromate conversion coating.

Application

MT-600 AM powders can be applied by manual or automatic electrostatic spray equipment. Unused powder can be reclaimed using suitable equipment and recycled through the coating system.
