GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Plascoat PPA 665 is a polyolefin based polymer alloy, developed for application onto metal cylinders by rotational lining to give a protective coating with excellent resistance to aqueous environments, including the foaming agent A.F.F.F. and is also resistant to up to 30% Antifreeze (ethylene glycol). When correctly applied, the coating gives excellent adhesion without the need for a separate adhesive priming coat and can withstand steady or cycling temperatures between -40°C and +65°C. Plascoat PPA 665 coated cylinders meet requirements of EN3. PPA 665 is available in grey and black.

TYPICAL USES
The internal lining of portable fire extinguishers.
GUIDE TO TYPICAL COATING CONDITIONS
Recommended Pre-treatment: Degrease - alkaline/solvent degrease Shot-blast to Swedish standard SA 2½ to 3 or iron phosphate.
Typical application using Plascoat DHSC lining machine on 3mm steel cylinder: Preheat: 1.5-1.75 minutes in horizontal position (Metal Temperature between 260°C and 300°C) Dwell: 30 seconds - nodding in 8 sec cycle Post-heat: 30 seconds Cooling Overall cycle: 4 to 5 min
The typical shot weight for a 9 Litre cylinder is 430g. This produces a coating of thickness of around 1mm. These values are only intended as a guide and will vary according to metal thickness and type.
Thicknesses outside the recommended range may be detrimental to the properties of the coating.
For typical properties of the coating see below.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Plascoat PPA 665 is supplied as a finely divided powder. Whilst there are no known health hazards associated with PPA 665, normal handling precautions for dealing with fine organic powders should be taken - i.e. excessive dust generation and inhaling of the powder should be avoided. Facilities may be required for removing excess dust from the working area during the coating of more difficult items.
As with all polymeric powders, the material can ignite if brought into contact with a high temperature source or ignition - particularly in the fluidised condition.Reference should be made to Plascoat Health and Safety Data Sheet HS501, available on request. Should the coating be required for contact with food or potable water, further details should be obtained from Plascoat. |
