Tired
of continually polishing aluminum or pot metal?
Here's the complete long term answer!
Clearcoat It.
- Polish the part (for the last time), spray on a
coat of Clear VHT and allow to dry.
- Take the bike, or car, for a spin, and the engine
heat will cure the coating!
- That's it! Finished - for good!
- Ideal for Use on:
- Automotive Exhaust
- Snowmobiles Jet Ski
- Motorcycle Exhaust & aluminum parts
- Barbecues Franklin Stoves Fireplaces Mufflers
VHT FlameProof coating was originally developed some
30 years ago and is now used as a protective coating
for the white-hot surfaces of space-bound and re-entry
vehicles.
Since its inception, new ideas for applications have
been developed by numerous industrial, automotive, and
electrical engineers. These include aerospace hardware,
smoke stacks, jet engines, heat exchangers, boilers,
heaters, exhaust manifolds, mufflers, steam pipes, barbecues,
electrical hardware, and countless other applications
where resistance to high temperatures and/or weathering
is required.
Leading major industrial firms have come to rely on
VHT FlameProof coating to solve many of their most difficult
problems. Firms such as IBM, Corning glass, Colt Industries,
B.F. Goodrich, Bechtol Corporation, Combustion Engineering,
Air Research, Alcoa, RCA, Raytheon, NASA, Hughes Aircraft
Lockheed, Cessna, North American Rockwell, and countless
others equally impressive have benefited by VHT's progress
in high temperature coatings.
Surface preparation:
- No special surface preparation is required, except
removal of oil films, etc.
- Anodized, irridited and alodyned surfaces can
be directly coated with VHT FlameProof for lower
temperature use only.
Thinning:
Thin as necessary with a quality grade lacquer thinner
available from local supplier. Do not thin more than
25% by volume.
Application:
Apply a THIN, even coat - just enough to thoroughly
COLOR. Excessive build-up is not necessary or recommended.
In applications requiring heavy coating, build-up should
be done in stages, each successive coat being cured
as recommended below nominal coating wet thickness .0015"
- .002". VHT FlameProof coatings require no primer.
Curing:
On non-traffic surfaces and where solvent resistance
is not required, VHT FlameProof coating may be used
as is. Air-dried curing may be accomplished by the inherent
heat of operation such as encountered in engine manifolds
and exhausts, boilers, heaters, etc. or by following
the curing instructions below. VHT FlameProof coatings
will air dry in 15 to 30 minutes and, if handled with
reasonable care, may be put to immediate use.
Heat curing method for maximum resistance to solvents,
salt spray, humidity, thermal shock and heat:
In a dedicated electric oven:
- 15 minutes at 250°F
- 30 minutes at 600°F
- 1 hour at 800°F
- 30 minutes at 1,000°F.
You may also use an infrared
curing lamp.
ALL CURING SHOULD BE DONE SLOWLY
