F-1083's' is a flexible, self x-linking, high performance, high strength, fast set water base polyurethane used for IMC (in mold coating) or PMC (post mold coating) as a finish coat over an IMC or directly on other types of foam such as EVA, PVC, polystyrene or minicell.

Applications include athletic padding, medical pads, seating, automotive components, polypropylene buoys, polystyrene dock floatation blocks, etc. F-1083's' is also a high solids, very low V.O.C. material, which makes it an Emission Control Coating System, eccs®. F-1083's' performance can be increased more quickly using 130ºF for 15 minutes to accelerate the x-linking process.

Surface Preparations

N/A All surfaces to be coated must be free of any oils, dust, mold release or loose foam particles.

USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION. GENTLY MIX BEFORE EACH USE.

Spraying

N/A IMC [in mold coating]: Make sure tool/ mold is clean and free of mold release unless release has been tested and approved for suitability. Spray apply light even coat making sure to cover all surfaces evenly and completely. Allow coating to tack before adding foam mixture. The use of heated tool/ molds, external heat and air movement is recommended to speed and ensure coating is tacky as quickly as possible. Allow adequate time for foam mixture to complete cycle and for coating to set up. Remove from tool/ mold carefully. Coated part should remove easily without damage to coating skin. If coating sticks to tool/ mold, allow for longer tack time or speed drying process. If difficulty persists, contact Technical Support for assistance.

IMC [post mold coating] or applied directly to other foams:
Tack coat: Apply light, overlapping coats, holding gun 12"-24" from surface, using an 8"-12" pattern. Allow adequate dry time before applying Finish coat.
Finish coat: Apply wet overlapping coats to desired film thickness. Multiple coats can be applied. Allow adequate dry time between coats or handling.

Hints

N/A A dry film thickness of 3-5 mils should be used on all items; 6-8 mils on high wear items. Allow at least an overnight dry before stacking or storing coated items unless you've accelerated drying with heat. After allowing to air dry for 30 minutes, a recommended heat for drying is 100 ºF - 150 ºF with moving air. Always use proper ventilation and protection.
