In addition, Ply-Guard AS (Ultra Flex) meets or exceeds SSPC Paint Specifications 36, 38, & 39 Level 3 weathering performance requirements. Ply-Guard AS (Ultra Flex) can achieve a 5 to 15 mils DFT coating that is free of bubbles or pinholes as part of an effective two-coat system over the recommended WB HRZS® Primer (3-4 mils DFT). Ply-Guard AS (Ultra Flex) is ideal for applications requiring fast re-coat & turn-around times at low temperatures on complex steel structures.
- Key Features
