MFI-SL08 Marine Grade Spray Polyurea Coating
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
News Article - Polyurea Thinking outside the tube Product Description:
MARINE GRADE POLYUREA COATING SYSTEM
The marine grade MFI-SL08 spray Polyurea system is designed to encapsulate treated timber products to prevent preservatives from leaching into the environment and protecting the timber from abrasion and mechanical damage. MFI-SL08 spray Polyurea coating system can be used for encapsulating Creosote, AZCA, ACQ, CCA and other wood treatments for use on timber piling, lumber and poles.
MFI-SL08 contains PTMEG and has been engineered for marine environments and is self-leveling to provide a smooth surface and its longer gel time promotes better adhesion to the timber products.MFI-SL08 is used in a variety of marine or non-aquatic applications and has a proven record of durability.
WHY PTMEG IS SPECIFIED?
Innovative Polyurethane Intermediates TERATHANE® PTMEG is a premium polyether glycol and is used as a soft-segment building block in high performance polyurea’s, polyurethanes, polyesters, and other polymers. It is available in a wide range of molecular weights (from 250 up to 2900) and provides outstanding dynamic properties, low temperature flexibility, and hydrolytic stability.
Typical end uses for TERATHANE® PTMEG include spandex fibers (e.g. Lycra®), solid elastomers (cart wheels, belts, and rollers), as well as flexible adhesives and coatings.
Specification requirement (US NAVY):
The elastomer used in the fender skin shall be 100 percent PTMEG (polytetramethylene ether glycol) polyether Polyurea / urethane elastomer.
PTMEG is used in high performance system when longevity is required in harsh environments.
Application:
MFI-SL08 is factory applied using a high pressure plural component spray system with a minimum capability of 2000 psi pressure at the spray tip or can be applied using a heated low pressure system.
Available standard colors: Black, Tan, Brown, Gray
HELPING OUR ENVIRONMENT
Proven long term performance in marine applications, MFI-SL08 is designed to encapsulate and prevent the leaching of treating products into our waterways.MFI-SL08 is a cross linked formulation providing increased strength and durability for tough marine environments.
