Request Information
HCF® is a flexible acrylic, water base coating that can be dipped, brushed or sprayed, is available in a wide variety of colors and exhibits excellent petroleum, chemical, UV, corrosion and abrasion resistance. Typical applications include protecting and color coding transformers, coils, tools, fixtures and brackets, oil handling equipment, heavy machinery, and chain link fence components. HCF® bonds to metal, wood, concrete and plastics without primers. HCF® has the safety of water base with the performance of solvent base coatings. It's very low V.O.C.'s, non-flammable and high solids content make it an Emission Control Coating System, eccs®, that can be air dried or heat cured to meet production demands. Use HCF® F-688 s for spray applications.

Hints

N/A For storage or dip tank containers, use poly or galvanized steel. A dry film thickness of 6-8 mils is recommended for best results. Allow overnight drying whenever possible. To speed drying, mild heat (95°F-110°F) and air flow may be used. Do not stack or store parts in contact with each other if not fully cured. Avoid excessive air movement, heat or humidity. Always use proper ventilation and protection.
