Suggested Uses

GLYPTAL 1209 is suggested for the finishing of electrical equipment for interior exposure. It is similar to 1201 in properties other than dielectric strength and may be used for coating small motor stators, field coils, end windings, bus bars, and switch bases. It is also suggested for the protection of surfaces from arcing.

Applications

GLYPTAL 1209 may be applied by spray or dip methods. Surfaces to be painted should be clean and dry.
Reduction: 1209 should be thinned to 23 to 28 seconds (#2 Zahn Cup) with 1500 thinner

Surface Preprations

Surfaces to be painted should be dry and free from dirt, wax, grease, rust, and oil. Remove grease and oil by washing surface with mineral spirits. When painting over a previously glossed surface, reduce gloss by use of sandpaper or steel wool.
