FGI – 520 Removeable, Peelable, Protective Coating

Unique Coatings – Extreme Results

Description
FGI - 520 is a temporary paint spray booth white removable coating for spray paint booth walls, ceilings, floors and other surfaces where paint over spray accumulation must be readily removed. It will maximize paint booth illumination and remain non-dusting. Thus, application of white peelable booth coating FGI-520 will result in optimum paint finish and minimize rejects. Paint spray booth peelable coating 520 can be used as a peelable coating on steel surfaces to eliminate flash rusting or as protection on glass, Plexiglas, rubber, aluminum, etc.

Application Methods

Proper application results in a tough film of uniform thickness with no sags, less application time and minimal clean-up labor. The FGI-520 white removable coating may be used wherever protective removable coatings are needed or to reduce cleanup problems. Spray Booths, Floors, Windows, walls, Machinery, equipment spray booths and fixtures are applications for our removable coating.

Apply 10-12 mils wet peelable film to clean, dry surfaces (booth walls, fixtures) in a smooth, continuous spray. If using airless equipment, use .015 or .017 nozzle at a set pressure of 1200-1500 PSI. Also may be applied by brushing or rolling.

After significant paint overspray buildup, film may be quickly and easily removed. Cut film to start peeling from one corner. Production time between cleaning is increased; quality control is improved with better illumination.

Simply peel off in large, continuous sheets. Booth is left clean and ready for next application. Messy hand scraping or solvent removal eliminated. Clean-up is fast. Waste disposal costs cut.

The coating provides a tough, flexible solvent-resistant film which protects booth walls, paint fixtures, metal parts in storage, or any non-porous metal surface from paint overspray.

The FGI-520 is normally used as received. Sprayed peelable coating is air-dried from 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on thickness of coating. FGI-520 is usually applied to form a film thickness in the range of 5 to 6 dry mils (.005" to .006"). The coating is usually resistant to attack by paint solvents. Spraying temperature shall be 60° F minimum. For best results, apply at room temperature.

REMOVAL

The FGI-520 is developed to be removed by peeling it off.

Flammability

Water rinsable FGI-520 presents no fire hazard either as received, during or after application.

Disposal

During removal, water hose-down type coatings will often times be mixed into the paint spray booth water compound system. FGI-520 coating is normally compatible with this kind of system.

FGI-520 is uniquely formulated excluding ingredients that are deleterious to the painting process (such as silicones) or the water washes system (such as foam generation or stabilizing ingredients).

Operating Guidelines

When applying FGI-520, use the same protection as used while applying paint. The booth ventilation system should be operating while the material is being sprayed

Chemical goggles and impervious gloves should be worn when handling or mixing

Use of non-sparking metal is advised to scrape or spud to remove booth coating to avoid fire hazard from accumulated paint

First Time Application

If the peelable coating film rips or tears, the flap may be lifted and resealed by applying a fresh wet coat to the underside and resealing. Alternatively, cut away flap and re-apply fresh coating, it will bond to itself.

Pre-cleaning of Equipment:

To clean pressure pot, airless equipment, spray guns, spray lines, do the following:

1.Flush equipment and lines with current paint thinner (ex. Toluene, MEK, Xylene, etc.)

2.Follow with a water reducible solvent such as Butyl Cellosolve. This will help remove solvent residue

3.Now thoroughly rinse with water. Make sure all solvent and paint residue is removed.

Pre-cleaning of Spray Booth Walls:

To clean all surfaces where FGI-520 is to be applied, do the following: if the last peelcoat used was a solvent-based product (this will aid in the first time peel/water removal of FGI-520.

Clean surface with butyl-Cellosolve type cleaner.

Remove all previous peel coat, oils and dirt, and solvent residue from surface.

NOTE: You do not have to do this cleaning step to have FGI-520 peel/water rinse off of the surface, although it aids in the first time water rinse/peel of the product. Second and continuous applications can eliminate this step.

You are now ready to use FGI-520

Some Equipment Notes:

Pressure Pot: FGI-520 works well under the following conditions. Pot pressure at 10-15 psi while atomization pressure is 40 psi. If a cloud effect occurs the pressure is too high. Try to control this at the spray gun. If that fails turn down the pressure at the pressure pot.

FGI-520 can also be applied by brushing or rolling.
