Slideshow of FGI391 Anti-Ice Coating
FGI-391 is
an extremely unique ultimate performance single component Anti-Ice
Release coating. It is formulated for
ease of application in the field or at the point of manufacture. FGI- 391 provides a very low coefficient
of friction which provides a more difficult surface for moisture molecules to
bond. FGI-391 has tested down to
0.035µ which is excellent for a water base material. FGI-391 also has a rating of 3.6 on the Centrifuge Adhesion Test
(CAT) as performed at the Anti-Icing Materials Laboratory (AMIL). This is the
highest rating for a permanent water based coating. FGI-391 is not silicone based as silicone based materials have
problems with UV degradation. FGI-391
when properly applied leaves a film over the surface that reduces the chance of
ice forming on the surface. If during
extreme temperatures the moisture can freeze quickly, FGI-391 provides a minimum holding surface for the ice particles. In
turn a slight vibration, pulse or movement will dislodge the ice, releasing the
weight and tension from the substrate.
In many cases, the weight of the ice alone will cause it to drop or fall
from the surface. FGI-391 will bond to many substrates in a wide variety of climate
conditions. FGI-391 is extremely UV
stable. FGI-391 can be recoated as
often as needed, no special preparation is necessary other than to clean and
dry the surface to be coated. By reducing the coefficient of friction, water
drops, snow, or ice will have less ability to hold onto the substrate, thus
slipping off from the top surface of contact. While many coatings will micro
crack and break down upon extended exposure to UV, FGI-391 does not have this problem. Designed for ease of
application and durability in a single component formula, FGI-391’s cutting edge technology is continually tested under extreme conditions,
both in the laboratory and in the field, with excellent performance. FGI-391 provides a very cost efficient
coating with high-end performance.
