FGI – 516 Removable Peelable Coating

 

Unique Coatings – Extreme Results

 

Description

FGI-516 is engineered to protect construction equipment, cranes, ladders, lifts, booms, manlifts, ships or boat decks during construction and storage against minor abrasion and staining. It is weather resistant for several months and will perform over most non-porous surfaces including Glass reinforced Plastics-GRP, non porous wood surfaces and non-skid painted surfaces. FGI-516 is a water borne temporary protective peelable coating with built in traction anti slippery particles for walking.

This acrylic peelable water-borne coating forms a tough, flexible, UV resistant temporary film that can be easily stripped after just a few hours, or stays flexible, pliable and peelable for months. FGI-516 contains no strong solvents that can mar or damage other surfaces. FGI-516 is intended for use as a protective coating over fiberglass gel coats or plastic laminates, but may be used to temporarily protect other surfaces providing suitability is conformed by test application. FGI-516 may be removed by manually peeling away.

FGI-516 peelable coating is non flammable and non combustible as supplied and when the dry peelable film is formed and is also low slip hazard.

Designed especially for floors, it has built in traction to walk on it and avoid slippage. FGI-516 films are tough and durable to handle heavy forklift and foot traffic. Perfect for floor areas around presses, spray areas, high traffic routes. It is easy to apply and very easy to peel. Maintenance costs with FGI-516 are reduced and floors are maintained in brand new condition. FGI-516 has no VOC's

FGI-516 can be used on concrete, tile, glass, ceramic, laminates, brick, and many other non-porous clean surfaces such as:

 

Ø      Construction equipment

Ø      Concrete floors-painted or sealed

Ø      Tile Floors- with sealed grout

Ø      Wood floors-seal bare wood floors first to prevent pulling up wood fibers

Ø      Laminate flooring

Ø      Brick Floors-Apply sealant first

Ø      Steel, aluminum, brass, copper and other ferrous and non ferrous metals

Ø      Glass, plastic and acrylics like Lexan

Ø      Other non-porous or well sealed floor materials.

 

 

FGI-516 is a Blue/Green water resistant, peelable temporary protective coating which has many applications. It can be used to protect various types of surfaces during industrial processing. FGI-516 air dries quickly, leaving a tough, clear flexible coating that is easily removed from a variety of surfaces. FGI-516 represents the ultimate in waterborne removable coating technology. It is stabilized against brittleness and is not softened or penetrated by most water-based compounds.

FGI-516 is good over cement, linoleum and floors painted with enamels that are resistant to water.

 

 

Benefits To You:

Ø      Temporary Protective Floor Peelable Coatings

 

Ø      No Flash point Water Based for environment and worker safety

 

Ø      Durable Peelable coating with Built in Traction for avoiding slippage

 

Ø      Keeps everything underneath clean

 

Application:

FGI-516 should be used as received. It can be applied by airless spray, paint roller, or brush. The coating dries upon water evaporation. FGI-516 should be applied to form a dry film in the range of 5 to 10 mils (.005" to .010") thick. Application temperature is ambient to no lower than 50ºF. Drying times will be affected by humidity, film thickness, air movement and temperature. Best time to apply is on week-ends or late afternoons to give coating time to dry. Proper fan placement can speed the dry time by removing water at a much faster rate. Application by roller might require a few coats. Thick coating peels in one large continuous sheet. Thin coatings will break in areas of coating weakness. FGI-516 is water based for safe use and easy water clean up. When applying FGI-516 use the same protection as used while applying paint

Note: It is critical to achieve correct dry film thickness for removal and peeling.

Application may be Lambs wool Ships Roller or by spray (conventional air or airless spray equipment with 21 thou tip size).

Take measures to protect and Mask areas against overspray. Be careful and avoid spraying into small openings where the coating may become thin and subsequently difficult to remove.

Must try to achieve a defined edge at the end of the area to be coated by taping the outer edges or by other methods. Do not apply during rain or frost.

 

Precautions:

The surface to be applied with FGI-516 should be dry, clean and free from oil, grease and other water incompatible matter. The clean surface helps even distribution of FGI-516. The surface remains clean when FGI-516 is removed and surface clean up will not be necessary for second time application.

 

Patch Test:

Always test a small inconspicuous area first. Because of various substrate characteristics and conditions like porosity, deterioration, embattlement, adverse wear area, type of ink, paint and or other coatings applied, abrasion of panted surfaces, and the like, it is difficult to predetermine specific effects from this product.

 

Safety & Handling:

See application and safety precautions before applying. Liquid product is slippery when wet. Please refer to MSDS.

 

 

 

Recommendations:

Outline your floor area to be protected with the self adhesive fiber tape. DO not overlap tap edges but keep adjacent

Apply FGI-516 and let it dry. Rinse out roller with plenty of water between coats

Allow first coat to dry. Dry time will be affected by coating thickness, application methods, humidity and air flow in the vicinity.  Initial drying time is 30 minutes approximately. Apply second coat and allow it to dry before permitting traffic on the floor.

 

Curing:

FGI-516 cures upon water evaporation. Dry time is dependent upon temperature, humidity, air movement and thickness of the coating. Curing may be accelerated by forced dry air up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Force dry coatings can cure in less than 10 minutes. Most coatings without assist will dry in a few hours. It is imperative that FGI-516 be thoroughly cured and dry, before an attempt is made to peel the coating from the substrate. Cured FGI-516 is water resistant. Floors coated with FGI-516 can be water mopped.

 

Removal:

FGI-516 is readily removed from surfaces by peeling any exposed edge. This Peelable coating can be removed by prying an edge and slowly lifting the coating off the floor

NOTE:

Always spray coating in a well ventilated area or use a NIOSH approved self contained breathing apparatus or vapor filters on a mask. Protective gloves and safety glasses must be worn at all times. Be aware of over-spray so it will not land on any item that is not to be coated.
