- Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
- Intended applications
Can be applied direct (DTM) or to suitably primed to carbon steel, stainless, aluminum and alloy substrates. Such applications include petr°Chemical, chemical plants, offshore, power, refining, and generic pr°Cessing; pipework, steam lines, pressure valves, stacks, chimneys, tanks, heat exchangers, storage facilities and commercial constructions, manufacturing facilities, floating equipment, vessels, barges, roofing etc.
- Application methods
A waterbased, single component, ambient curing, ultra-high-build inorganic polymeric siloxane matrix.
- Application Conditions
Ambient temperature and material temperature of the Thermaguard TIC 400 during application should be between 10 and 50°C. Substrate temperature should be above 10°C and below 220°C . Substrate temperature must remain 3°C above dew point and relative humidity must remain between 35% and 85% during entire application and dry time. Sufficient air movement over the newly insulated surface improves curing and speeds drying.
- Application Equipment
Do not apply Thermaguard™ TIC 400 with piston-pump airless equipment.
Double diaphragm pump airless
- Pressure: 106 psi / 7 bar
- Tip size: #10 to #12
- Filters: remove all filters
Hopper/conventional air spray
- Atomizing pressure at the tip: 50 psi
- Tip size: #4 to 8# orifice
Trowel application
For spot repairs, touch up and for areas less than 1 m2 .
Notes
For further information, please consult the Thermaguard™ TIC 400 Application Guideline.
- Mixing
Thermaguard™ TIC 400 is a single component waterbased product. Open only the number of pails which will be immediately used. Immediately re-seal any unneeded pails of Thermaguard™ TIC 400. Mix Thermaguard™ TIC 400 with a mechanical agitator, using slow or reverse speed and a plastic or nonreactive metal squirrel cage mixer as shown in the Application Guideline.
- Thinning and Cleanup
Do not thin for application temperatures from 10 to 50C when applying with pump system, conventional hopper application thinning up to 5% volume can assist application. Clean up with ambient temperature tap water. Dispose of cleanup water in accordance with all l°Cal environmental regulations.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Surface preparation
Primed carbon steel (recommended)
Prime with one coat, Thermaguard™ CUI 650, per Technical Data Sheet (TDS) for that material. In maintenance coating situations, Thermaguard™ CUI 650 may be applied over tightly adhering rust.
Unprimed carbon steel
Thermaguard™ TIC 400 Liquid Insulation may be applied direct to carbon steel surfaces which have been dry abrasive blasted to Sa 2 ½, Near White metal or better, with an anchor profile (Rz) of 75 to 100 microns. Blasted surfaces should be free of salt contamination and flash rust inhibitors should not be used. All sharp edges and rough welds should be rounded off prior to start of abrasive blasting. Apply Thermaguard™ TIC 400 before any visible flash rusting of the prepared surface °Ccurs.
Stainless steel, aluminum, cupronickel and similar alloys
Abrasive sweep using a nonmetallic, chloride-free abrasive (aluminum oxide or garnet are recommended), to achieve an anchor profile of 25 to 50 microns. All sharp edges and rough welds should be rounded off prior to start of abrasive blast preparation.
- System specifications
Ambient temperature application:
2-coat system for carbon steel, (recommended)
- Thermaguard™ CUI 650 – 125 to 150µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ TIC 400 – 10000 to 20000µm DFT
Single-coat system for carbon steel DTM, stainless steel, aluminum and alloys
- Thermaguard™ TIC 400 – 10000 to 20000µm DFT
For ambient temperature application on small diameter pipe or complex shapes, Thermaguard™ TIC 400 may be applied as two coats, 5000 microns DFT per coat, with appropriate dry time between coats.
Hot surface application (substrate temperatures 50 to 220°C):
- Thermaguard™ TIC 400 – 300 to 500µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ TIC 400 – 2500 to 5000µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ TIC 400 – 2500 to 5000µm DFT
- Thermaguard™ TIC 400 – 2500 to 5000µm DFT (if needed)
During application to hot substrates, use a mist coat application to reduce possibility of defects and to build film evenly.
