F-1086 is a vinyl based coating designed to coat vinyl nitril,NBR, and EVA foams with a high (12% +) vinyl content. F-1086 has excellent chemical, petroleum, abrasion, moisture and UV resistance. F- 1085 can be used on items such as key fobs, can coolers, medical cushioning, pool floats, sporting goods, padding, wrestling mats, etc.

For our highest gloss finish, top coat with F-760.

Mixing Instructions

N/A QUALITY CONTROL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SPRAY AND DIP APPLICATIONS.
Like most liquid vinyl, F-1086 may coagulate during storage, requiring thorough remixing agitation before use each day. For best results, a Cowles® or dispersion blade gives the maximum combination of high shear, excellent flow and circulation. Diameters of 3" for mixing five gallon containers and 7" for mixing 50 gallon drums. Note: It has been found that the dispersion blades are highly effective, fast and produce more shearing action than can be obtained from a standard mixing blade or paddle. Avoid making solvent additions before mixing. Check viscosity. Some adjustments may be necessary for your particular use. F-1086 is normally used in a 15 - 20 second range using a Zahn #3. If coating mixture exceeds 20 seconds, or is not flowing off part properly, dilute coating mixture with a 1 to 1 ratio of M.E.K. and Toluene until a satisfactory range is accomplished. Contact technical service for specific applications.

Spraying

N/A Industrial/commercial airless sprayers may be used. Contact technical service for specific applications.

Dipping

N/A Hang part securely with a thin wire hook. Submerge part completely using a clean paint stick (or other blunt object) making sure entire part has been "wetted" out or covered. Remove quickly and allow to run off. Air dry to the touch and repeat 3-5 coats. If faster drying is preferred, allow to air dry 30-60 seconds, then place in mild heat (95ºF-120ºF) with mild air flow. Make sure the heat source is safe for this use and that you ventilate properly. Drying will typically take 10-15 minutes (air dry 30-45 minutes). Apply 3-5 coats to your desired thickness.

Hints

N/A When using a dip tank, always leave at least 6" from fluid surface to tank top to minimize "skinning over". For surface defects (fish eyes or pin holes) add a defoamer, such as BYK066 from BYK ChemieCorp or contact technical service for assistance. Always use proper ventilation and protection. If dip coating more than 2 coats, reverse hanging part 180° after second coat has dried and apply final coats. This will better distribute the coating milage more evenly across the entire part being coated.
