    Features & Benefits

    Benefits

    Coatings produced from IsoCoat 401 provide :

    • Excellent thermal stability (polymer will typically withstand temperature excursions up to 240°C).
    • High level of chemical resistance.
    • Good abrasion resistance.
    • FDA compliance.

    Applications & Uses

    Applications

    IsoCoat 401 is typically used in the following applications :

    • Temperature resistant coatings.
    • Binder for high temperature resistant fiber reinforced plastics.
    • Bonding agent for high temperature applications up to 240°C.
    • FDA compliant coatings.
    • The excellent chemical resistance of these polymers leads to applications in container coatings, “non-stick” cookware, electronics, and other areas.
    • Coatings can be produced from IsoCoat 401 that meet requirements of FDA regulations 177.2450 and can therefore be used in the manufacture of cookware coatings.

    Further Dilution

    • Use de-mineralized or distilled water as required.
    Processing
    • IsoCoat 401 is supplied as a solution, care must be taken to enable the solvent to be removed slowly to avoid blistering of the film.
    • During curing, the temperature of the object should be increased slowly up to the final cure temperature to avoid blistering of the coating due to final release of solvent.
    • Final cure temperature of >220°C is required.
    • It is advised not to mix used material with unused product for storage, although topping-off the process tank with fresh material is acceptable.
