Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Priming
Self priming over non-ferrous materials (stainless steel & aluminum). Primer required for carbon steel substrates.
- Limitations
- Peak operational temperature should not exceed 375˚F.
- The maximum sustained temperature should not exceed 350˚F.
- Substrates & Surface Protection
- Surface Preparation - Surface should be dry and free of foreign matter. Surface prep can be used to NACE 1-3 (SSPC SP 5-6) when applicable.
- Ferrous Surfaces - Should be primed prior to application of MI-DTI Insulating Coating. Since the coating is waterbased, it is important to have a boundary layer of protection to prevent flash rusting.
- Non-ferrous Surfaces - The coating can be applied directly to nonferrous surfaces. Surface should be clean and free of any oil, dirt or other foreign matter.
- Application Equipment
- Airless Sprayer
- Pump Ratio - 33:1 or larger
- Output per Cycle - 180cc (Minimum), 290cc (Optimum)
- Volume - 1.5 gpm (5.7 lpm) or greater
- Hose - 3/8” or larger with no more than 3’ of 1/4” whip. 1/2” hose recommended for length above 50’.
- Tip Size - 0.017” (for tight spots), 0.019 - 0.023” (Normal use)
- Pressure - Minimum of 3000 psi
- Small Spray Application - This sprayer is excellent for small applications and touch-ups.
- Brush or Roll - Not recommended for this coating
- Airless Sprayer
- Application Conditions
- Surface Temperatures - Surface temperatures for applications should be greater than 60˚F. Lower surface temperatures will increase dry times.
- Applications - Ambient & Cold (60˚F - 139˚F): For temperatures (surface or ambient, whichever is lower), an initial tack coat is recommended of 10 mils. This tack coat will help eliminate sag on vertical wall applications. Tack coat should be dry to touch prior to next pass. Typical coat thickness should not exceed 20 - 22 mils wet. The coating can be reapplied after each coat is thoroughly dry. Hot (>140˚F or >60˚C).
- Application Thickness - Product can be applied in successive coats to increase insulation ability. There are no upper limitations.
- Dryfall - Dryfall within a 3ft radius
- Mixing & Thinning
- Mixing - Only a mud mixing paddle should be used. Use 1/2” drill motor to stir contents with paddle. Make sure drill is set to reverse to ensure that the paddle will not mar the bucket’s inner wall. Please consult Mascoat for paddle, if needed. Do not mechanically shake.
- Thinning - Do not thin unless authorized in writing by Mascoat.
- Pot life - Coating is one part, so no catalyzation is needed. Pail can be reused if properly sealed.
- Clean Up
Equipment may be cleaned with soap & water.

Moisture readings should be less than 12% prior to recoat and 0% prior to topcoating. This is the estimated dry time for 15─20 mils (0.38 - 0.50 mm) of Mascoat Industrial-DTI wet. Dry time may vary depending on other conditions such as wind or enclosed environments. Lighter thickness passes will expedite dry times. Forced ventilation in confined areas will also expedite dry times.
Safety & Health
- Safety
For minimum protection, Mascoat recommends an N95 particulate respirator mask. For additional protection, a half mask respirator with organic vapor cartridge can be utilized. Eye protection recommended due to spray application method.
