- Coating Application
- It is recommended that coating application be performed in a clean environment to minimize surface defects. To make the coating solution, combine Part A and Part B at a 10:1 weight ratio and mix well by stirring briefly. The coating may be applied by spraying, dipping, or flowing.
- For spray application of the coating, an HVLP spray gun with a nozzle size of < 1.0 mm is recommended, and the pressure should be set at approximately 25 to 30 psi. The induction time for spray application is 1 hour (i.e., wait at least 1 hour after mixing before coating application). For other application methods, it is recommended to age the mixed solution for at least 12 hours to obtain a highly uniform coating.
- Although the mixed coating solution is stable indefinitely, it is recommended to use the solution within 72 hours after mixing for the best performance.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Surface Preparation
Ensure surfaces to be coated are clean and dry and apply a primer if necessary (such as polymer substrates). NEI supplies a primer product, NANOMYTE® SR-Primer, which works well with a range of plastics. The primer may be applied by dipping, flowing, spinning, rolling or spraying.
For spray application of the primer, an HVLP spray gun with a nozzle size of < 1.0 mm is recommended, and the pressure should be set at approximately 25 to 30 psi. A single pass of spraying is recommended for the primer. The primed parts should then be dried at 70 ºC for 10 min before application of NANOMYTE® SAF-200.
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling
Precautions for Safe Handling
Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used at all times. Provide good ventilation or extraction. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition.
Conditions for Safe Storage
For best coating performance, keep containers tightly sealed and store in a dry and cool area. Avoid storage above 40°C / 104°F and contamination with incompatible materials. Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition. Residual vapors might explode on ignition.
