M-076 ValuGard Undercoating with hybrid technology

Description

A premium haps free polymer enhanced water/solvent hybrid coating. Provides protection of metal frames and other underbody components on automobiles, trucks, trailers, utility bodies, bus bodies, RV's and other vehicles. #M-076 quickly develops excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates; wood, foam, FRP, plastic; or direct to metal over pickled and lightly rusted surfaces. #M-076's hybrid quick dry capabilities achieve early water and freeze resistance making it suitable for a variety of application situations . Hybrid technology gives #M-076 most of the application characteristics of solvent based products without high VOC, OSHA, Fire Code issues and costs. The dry coating is a tough, pliable rubberized coating for protection against abrasion and corrosion. Resists salt, alkalis and seals out moisture. Affords sound deadening and vibration dampening at higher film builds. Dry coating is tack free and can be top coated.
Materials

ValuGard Undercoating is composed of an abrasive free material, formulated with emulsified petroleum hydrocarbons, modified polymer additives and inert fillers with a hybrid water/solvent carrier.PRODUCT DATAPROPERTIES

Application

ValuGard Undercoating has excellent sprayability, coverage and sag which allows use of a wide variety of spray equipment. It can be cold applied with conventional airless or air assist spray equipment. Use as supplied. Although mixing is usually not required, ensure uniform consistency prior to use. The ambient and product temperature should be 50-95F(10-35C) at time of application. Refer to the (Material Safety Data Sheet) for additional handling instructions, Personal Protection Equipment requirements and first aid information before using.
Application Equipment
30:1 Reciprocating pumps with 30 - 40 lbs of air .019 - .025 inches tip size (For Industrial applications w/ large pumps)
15-1 Air Motor pumps with 65-75 lbs of air (drum/keg pump) .019 - .023 inches tip size

Dry Time

ValuGard Undercoating will dry to light touch in as little as 20 minutes. Dry times will depend on film thickness, temperature, humidity and airflow, and fully cure in 24 hrs @ 70F. Air movement will speed drying. Product is formulated to achieve early water and freeze resistance that will be indicated by a change of color from shiny dark gray (when first sprayed) to matte black.
