TYPICAL USES
The coating of dishwasher baskets.
GUIDE TO TYPICAL COATING CONDITIONS
Recommended Pre-treatment: For mild steel, ensure metal is clean by thorough degreasing and removal of mill scale. To get the full benefits of the material, the metal can also be blast cleaned to Swedish standard SA 2½-3 or phosphated.
Batch Operation: Metal preheat temperature 250°C -380°C (oven temperature 360°C - 420°C), depending on metal thickness. Dip for 1.5 - 5 seconds. A post-heat cycle at 170°C - 210°C may be required to develop fully the surface finish of the wires.
Water quenching is not necessary except for
handling purposes. If present, water quenching should take place at
least 30 seconds after all parts have flowed out to a smooth coating and
at least 90 seconds after dipping in the powder.
Quenching too soon may lead to pull-back on sharp edges or around welds.
The coating of dishwasher baskets.
It is recommended that a reasonable quantity of standard domestic detergent is added to the quench water to optimise the finish.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Plascoat TALISMAN 10 is supplied as a finely divided powder. Whilst there are no known health hazards associated with TALISMAN 10, 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 HS508, available on request. |
