TECHNICAL INFORMATION

APPLICATION
PROTECTA-KOTE is a one component polyurethane that can be easily applied by roller, brush or spray to provide an attractive non-slip coating. Unlike other coatings it is non-abrasive and so does not damage goods.

CURING TIME
Depending on temperature and humidity PROTECTA-KOTE can normally be put into service in approximately 12-24 hours. Final chemical resistance and physical properties are reached in 4-7 days.

COVERAGE
1.2-1.5m2 / litre for normal applications.
0.5m2/litre for high wear applications.

COLOURS
Protecta-kote is available in black, grey, blue, green and red. As with all aromatic polyurethane's, colours darken with U.V. exposure and gloss is lost with time. Light-stable versions are also available in light and dark colours.

OVERCOATING AND REPAIRS
PROTECTA-KOTE can easily be repaired or over coated after cleaning and sanding the surface.

SURFACE FINISH
PROTECTA-KOTE has a glossy finish and can be applied to give a relatively smooth or rough finish.

SHELF LIFE AND POT LIFE
PROTECTA-KOTE has a shelf life of 1 year from date of manufacture and is best used within 24 hrs from first opening.

STORAGE
Store indoors between 15-25°C out of direct sunlight. Excessive temperature will cause thickening.

ELONGATION (ASTM D638)

ELONGATION (%)
7 day cured 330 - 400
After 500 hrs QUV (n=4) 330 - 400



UV RESISTANCE
500 hrs of QUV accelerated weathering resulted in no deterioration in physical properties and no surface cracking. There will however be a loss of gloss and colour with continued exposure.

IMPACT RESISTANCE
Due to its excellent flexibility, PROTECTA-KOTE has the ability to stay bonded to substrates even when they are deformed by impact.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE
PROTECTA-KOTE has good chemical resistance to most dilute acids, bases and salts and many solvents. Further details are available on request.
