- Intended applications
Thermaguard™ TC 1200 such be used where safety recognition of equipment is necessary or aesthetical views are of importance. Should always be applied over primed steel with Thermaguard™ SAL 600 or an approved Inorganic zinc (IOZ). Such applications include flares, stacks, values, tanks, chimneys, pipework, steamlines etc.
- Application methods
Airless, airspray and brush & roller
- Substrate temperature & conditions
Ambient substrate temperature application should remain between 10 to 50°C and remain 3°C above the dew point and relative humidity should be 35 - 85% during application. For various temperature applications, thinning rates are:
- Thermaguard™ X21; 10 to 60°C (0 - 10%)
- Thermaguard™ S100; 60 to 150°C (5 - 10%)
- Application
Airless
Pump: 30:1 or higher
Tip size: 0.015 - 0.017 inch
Pressure: 2321 - 2901 psi / 160 - 200 bar
Thinning:
Thermaguard™ X21, 10 to 60°C, (0 - 3%)

Thinning:
Thermaguard™ X21, 10 to 60°C, (0 - 3%)
Thermaguard™ S100, 60 to 150 °C, (0 - 10%)
Brush/roller
Thinning:
Thermaguard™ S100, 60 to 150°C (0 - 10%)
Mixing
Thermaguard™ TC 1200 is a single component product, settling can °Ccur during transport & storage. The material should always be mixed using a mechanical agitation ensuring all settled-out pigments are dispersed until a uniform consistency is reached.
Reactivity
Thermaguard™ TC 1200 is reactive with moisture, skinning can °Ccur once opened. To prevent skinning keep covered at all times.
Reducer
Thermaguard™ X21 (10 to 60 °C application)
Thermaguard™ S100 (60 to 150°C application)
Clean up Use
Thermaguard™ X21 for cleaning after product use. Ensuring all material is flushed from application equipment.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Surface preparation
Intended for primed steel surfaces, both carbon & stainless. Substrates must be clean, dry and free from any contamination. All oil, dirt, grease, dust, foreign material and loose rust must be removed prior to coating.
Primed carbon steel
Thermaguard™ SAL 600; Abrasive blast clean to Sa 2½ (ISO 8501-1:2007) or SSPC-SP10. The resulting surface profile (Rz) should be 30 - 50µm. All sharp edges & rough welds should be rounded off. Followed by application of Thermaguard™ TC 1200 in accordance with the technical specification.
Primed stainless steel
Thermaguard™ SAL 600; Abrasive sweep clean using a non-metallic & chloride free abrasive (aluminum oxide or garnet). The resulting surface profile (Rz) should be 30 - 50µm. All sharp edges & rough welds should be rounded off. Followed by application of Thermaguard™ TC 1200 in accordance with the technical specification.
- System specifications
Thermaguard™ TC 1200 in a single coat application for a colored finish.
Primed carbon or stainless steel, ambient spray (10 to 50°C) OEM, shop application:
- Thermaguard™ SAL 600: 25 - 75µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ SAL 600: 25 - 75µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ TC 1200: 50 - 60µm DFT
Application of Thermaguard™ TC 1200 by airless or airspray are the preferred application methods for OEM (shop applied work). Maintenance application, brush & roller (10 to 50°C) application:
- Thermaguard™ SAL 600: 25 - 75µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ SAL 600: 25 - 75µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ TC 1200: 50 - 60µm DFT
At higher temperature applications further coats maybe necessary to build the film to a total of 100 - 250µm DFT.
