Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-10-100

Akron Coating and Adhesives ACA-10-100 is a water based matte black coating which exhibits heat resistance to over 500°F without smoking, blistering, or the loss of adhesion or flexibility. The black coating is intended for application to 1 or 2 mil soft aluminum foil where intense infrared heat from Klieg lights or space heaters is encountered. Further, the coating is a potential candidate for other high temperature applications. It is advisable to test for suitability for the specific application. A curing agent must be stirred into the coating immediately prior to coating. The pot life is about 3 days. Viscosity reduction may be accomplished by the careful addition of water.

Klieg lights, space heaters and other applications that require heat resistant coatings.

Coating Method

The ACA 10-100 may best be applied by rotogravure at a thickness of 0.1 to 0.2 mils. Curing is normally performed at about 400°F and 300 FPM in a 25 ft. oven. Operating conditions will vary with different ovens and coating weights and require some experimentation.

Clean Up

Hose down the machine and direct the excess water to a drain. Warm soap and water may be used for the hard to clean areas of the coater. Dry, uncured coating can be removed with toluene. Toluene is an inflammable, volatile solvent and should be used in conformance with OSHA guidelines. The cured coating is very insoluble and difficult to clean from the equipment.
