PaintOnce Ceramic Thermal Coating Delivers Quality 40 Ways:

      Characteristics                     Observations

    • Weight per gal: 12.1#        ASTM D-1475 This is a very dense, not watered down product for maximum density, build, yield and durability.
    • Solids Weight: 72%            ASTM D-2369 Water is light, resins and pigments are heavier.
    • Solids Volume: 58%           ASTM D-2697 High build and high yield due to low water content.
    • Versus Typical Paint:          PaintOnce Coating is a resin-rich material that outperforms typical paint in durability, adhesion, flexibility, film build, and overall long term performance.
    • Flammability:                      ASTM D-2863 Non-Flammable and does not support combustion on cement surfaces.
    • Finished Film:                     Smooth with good flow and leveling to prevent brush marks.
    • Viscosity:                           Heavy bodied for good film build per coat yet easy to apply by roller or sprayer. 20-25Kcps (20,000+ centipoise) Brookfield viscometer.
    • Tint Base Availability:         Pastel/Medium and Deep for a wide range of color tinting options while using a minimum of colorants which could adversely affect dry times.
    • Product Stability:                Product remains stable and usable for one year or longer depending on ambient storage environment.
    • Toxicity:                             Non-Toxic nor is it a health hazard when used as directed. Contains NO Lead or Chromium.
    • Hardness:                          Product cures to a tough, yet flexible wear resistant surface while preventing chipping.
    • Abrasion Resistance:          Extremely resistant to typical environmentally induced abrasion.
    • Touch-up:                          Easy to touch up and repair in the event of extraordinary damage.
    • Co-Product Availability:     PaintOnce Ceramic Coating is designed for use over the PaintOnce Primer. Other clear sealants are available for shingle roofs, exposed aggregate and other substrates requiring beautification and protection.
    • Impact Resistance:             Exceeds 20 inch pounds of impact with no effect.
    • Elongation:                        ASTM D-2370 Exceeds 200% elongation with 100% memory.
    • Flexibility:                          ASTM D-1737 Exceeds 1/8” mandrel bend with NO cracking, chipping or flaking.
    • Dirt Pickup:                        PaintOnce Coatings have a soft sheen that prevents dirt and stains better than flat finish paints or coatings. The surface is tighter and special additives repel stains and dirt for a beautiful look… longer.
    • Vapor Transmission:           ASTM D-1654 Twenty (20) perms allow water vapor to leave the film but prevent water liquid from entering through the coating film.
    • Wind Driven Rain:              NO water penetrated a 12 dry mil film during 24 hours propelled by a 98 mile per hour wind!
    • Salt Spray Resistant:          ASTM D-1654 Exceeds 250 continuous hours with no evidence of peeling, blistering or film deterioration.
    • High Humidity Resistant:    Exceeds 250 continuous hours with no evidence of peeling, blistering or delamination from the substrate.
    • Fungus/Mildew Resistant:  NO Growth after inoculated with 4 active microorganisms in an extremely high humidity environment.
    • Weathering:                       ASTM D-822 / G-26 No deterioration of the coating film, no cracking, chalking, blistering or peeling after simulated 20 year weathering cycle.
    • Composition:                      Single component Urethane modified Acrylic which requires no thinning or post added components for use.
    • Coverage Benefit:              High build at 100 sf/gal/coat on smooth surfaces in a two coat process. Porous surfaces require more coating.
    • Dry Film Yield:                  One coat at 18 wet mils yields 10 dry mils of durable protection. 2 coats recommended.
    • Substrate Preparation:        Clean, dry, solid, primed surfaces yield GREAT results and incredible adhesion.
    • Application Temp Range:    Best applied at 450F to 950F for greater daily coating application and production.
    • Application Methods:          Brush, roller or airless sprayer for larger areas.
    • Cure Time (tack-free):        Dependent on Relative Humidity and temperature for air drying, between 10 minutes and 30 minutes.
    • Cure Time (primary):          Dependent on Relative Humidity and temperature for air drying, between 24 to 36 hours.
    • Cure Time (Complete):       Dependent on Relative Humidity and temperature for air drying, between 7 to 10 days.
    • Solvent System Used:        Safe, pure water. No other solvents or additives required to accomplish extraordinary results.
    • Adhesive Strength:            ASTM C-794 Exceptional Adhesion to properly prepared and primed substrates.
    • Cohesive Strength:            Exceptional Cohesive strength for strong inter-coat adhesion to itself.
    • Color Reproduction:          Can be tinted to over 5000 colors with clear reproduction and consistent tint strength.
    • Sunlight Stability:               Contains no Vinyl additives or resins that can yellow with age and exposure to UV light.
    • Texture:                             PaintOnce Coating yields a beautiful, smooth satin finish that hides imperfections in the underlying substrate and leaves a pleasing soft finish.
    • Purity:                                Filtered for easy airless spraying without clogs.
