GloCOAT
UV
FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY
DESCRIPTION:
GloCOAT illuminates, identifies and insulates; it can be applied to most any surface ie;
Wood:
seals and protects from weathering and prevents splinters.
Metal: reduces vibration, deadens sound, prevents corrosion, insulates electrically and from extreme
temperatures.
Concrete:
Seals and prevents degradation from typical hydroscopic moisture.
Rope/Fabrics:
weatherproofs, prevents rotting and fraying.
Plastics:
protects delicate surfaces from scratches.
Rubber:
weatherproofs, wear resistant.

Instructions
SURFACE PREPARATION:
MIX WELL BEFORE USE.
All
surfaces to be coated must be free of all oils, grease, dirt, wax and loose
rust. A #6 sand blast to prepare
the surface improves adhesion. Use
GloCOAT White PRIMER on all surfaces then apply GloCOAT UV, finishing with a
clear coat for maximum durability.
USE
ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
SPRAYING:
Pressure
pot may
be used (siphon cup not recommended). Dilute
with recommended thinners up to 50% as needed.
Gently mix before spraying. Apply
wet overlapping coats, holding gun 6"-12"
from surface, using a 4"-6" pattern.
Allow 10-20 minutes dry time before applying additional coats to desired
thickness.
RECOMMENDED
EQUIPMENT AND SETTINGS:
BinksÒ
model 95 gun
Nozzle:
63B
Needle:
663A
Material:
20-25psi
Atomization:
15-25psi
Dilution:
as needed
Cap:
63PB (up to 50% dilution) or 66SD (up to 50% dilution) for heavier build
up.
Clean
up: See recommended thinners.
SPRAYING:
Airless
equipment
may be used. Use as
described above.
Tip
size: .011 - .019
Pressure:
as needed
Dilution:
up to 50%
DIPPING:
Dilute
with recommended thinners up to 25% as needed.
Gently mix before each use. Do
not introduce air bubbles. Insert
item 1" every 5 seconds. Remove
at same rate. Allow 30-40 minutes
(dry to the touch) dry time before applying additional coats to desired
thickness.
BRUSHING:
Dilute
with recommended thinners up to 25% as needed.
Gently mix before each use. Apply
wet overlapping coats using a soft natural bristle brush.
Allow 10-20 minutes (dry to the touch) dry time before applying
additional coats to desired thickness.
HINTS:
Recommended
thinners: Toluene or VM&P Naphtha. Optimal coating thickness of 12-15 mils
is recommended for best results. Approximate
dry mil thickness per coat, dipping 6-8 mils; brushing 4-5 mils; spraying 2-5
mils. Allow
4 hours dry time per coat before use.
Allow overnight drying whenever possible.
When using a dip tank, allow 6" minimum from fluid surface to tank
top to avoid "skinning over". Avoid
excessive air movement, heat or humidity. Always
use proper ventilation and protection.
GloCOAT
Typical
paints or coatings allow only minimal thickness with each coat. Photo
luminescent light storage crystals perform Optimally
in larger atmospheres, the larger the “Glow
Universe”
the more stars in the sky.
Application
Requirements: Photoluminescent Crystals perform optimally when
refracted
off a white base coat. Glowmania
strongly recommends that GloCOAT Primer White be applied as a base coat / primer
on all non-white surfaces. GloCOAT clear can be
used
as a protective top coat for maximum durability in heavy traffic locations.
