Product Description

Hi-Temp 1027 is a coating specifically formulated to prevent corrosion of carbon steel under thermal insulation. The coating is a high solid system which can be applied to a dry film thickness of 10-18 mils.* and has a VOC content of 3.5 lb./gal. 1027 has the ability to withstand thermal cyclic conditions to 1200°F (649°C), with peaks to 1400°F (753°C). The coating is resistant to severe cyclic tests; dry heat of 1000°F (538°C), immersion in boiling water, dry heat of 1000°F (538°C), and continously repeated.

*While applying to hot steel, 1027 has the ability to be applied to a dft. of 30 mils. when the maximum heat resistance needed is only 500°F (260°C).
*While applying to hot steel, 1027 has the ability to be applied to a dft. of 45 mils. when a maximum heat resistance needed is only 400°F (208°C).

Hi-Temp 1027 can be applied to ambient steel or directly to hot operating equipment having a metal temperature of 500°F (260°C) during application. Owners of equipment can: 1) strip insulation 2) prepare the surface 3) apply the coating and 4) reinsulate, without having to interrupt their business. Hi-Temp 1027 allows the repair and maintenance of critical equipment, which cannot be shut down, and yet is experiencing corrosion under insulation.
Hi-Temp 1027 is UV resistant and has an open recoat window whether it has been applied to ambient or hot steel.
The high film build capability of the 1027, whether applied to ambient or hot metal, allows one to cover the peaks and valleys of badly pitted steel under insulation; as well as properly protect difficult to coat areas such as flanges and bolts. The ability to be applied at film thickness higher than recommended is important when confined to tight spaces where it is difficult to control the dry film thickness during application.

Surface Preparation Carbon Steel

Coated surfaces must be dry and free of weld splatter, oil, dirt, grease and all other contaminates. Round off all rough welds and sharp edges. Abrasive blast to a SSPC-SP 6 "Commercial Blast". Blast profile should be 1.5- 2.5 mils., (38-63 microns), in depth. If "Commercial Blast" is not possible an SSPC-SP 11 "Power Tool" is approved.

Application Instructions*

Surface temperature must be a minimum of 5°F (3°C), above the dew point. Do not apply to steel temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

* Do not exceed maximum dry film thickness recommendations.

Systems 1): Hot Steel Application - Insulated Carbon Steel
Hot steel application from 150-300°F (61-122°C):
   Allow 20 minutes in between coats.
Hot steel during application from 300-500°F (122-260°C):
   Allow 15 minutes in between coats.

Systems 3): Maximum temperature resistance needed is only 500°F (260°C) and 400°F (208°C) respectively.

For both temperatures follow the standard specification for ambient or hot steel application.

Maximum dry film thickness while applying directly to hot steel up to 500°F (260°C) is 24.0-30.0 mils. (600-750 microns) in 3 coats at 8.0-10.0 (200-250 microns) per coat.*

Maximum dry film thickness while applying directly to hot steel up to 400°F (208°C) is 40.0-45.0 mils. (1000-1125 microns) in 4 coats at 9.0-11.0 mils. (225-275 microns) per coat.*

*When applying such thicknesses per coat directly to hot steel, it is important not to apply all the material at once in one pass but to apply it in multiple thin passes.
When applying 20-30 mils. dft. in 3 coats allow 30-45 minutes between coats.
When applying 30-45 mils. dft. in 4 coats allow 1 hour between coats.

Application Instructions to Hot Steel

1. IMPORTANT! It is essential to apply thin coats of the Hi-Temp 1027 during an application to hot steel. This aids in allowing the solvent to escape the coating without leaving pinholes behind. This application is similar to mist coating.

2. Flush equipment with Hi-Temp #5 Thinner before using equipment.

3. Hi-Temp 1027 is normally not thinned. If the situation warrants thinning, use only Hi-Temp #5 Thinner.

4. Hi-Temp #5 Thinner is specifically formulated for Hi-Temp 1027. It is a slow evaporating solvent allowing for good film integrity as the coating is being applied to hot operating equipment.

5. WARNING! Do not thin Hi-Temp 1027 with any other solvent. A fire hazard could occur if using a different solvent system. Dry spray and poor film characteristics may occur as well.

6. Do not apply a heavy coat to a hot surface or blistering will occur. If this happens, immediately take a brush, (use wood-handled brushes with China bristles only. Do not use brush with synthetic bristles), and brush out the blister before it sets.

7. Application to hot surfaces tends to promote dry spray.

8. To avoid dry spray, apply coatings without reaching.

Equipment

Conventional or airless spray is recommended. For conventional spray use a DeVilbiss MBC-510, (or equal), gun with an "E" fluid tip and 704 air cap (or equal). For airless spray use a Graco 205-591, 208-663, (or equal), gun with fluid tip of 163-610, 163-315 and a Graco Bulldog Pump at 30:1.
Adjust pressure as needed. Hold gun 10"-12" from the surface at right angles. Lap each pass 50%. When brushing and rolling, use only quality brushes and rollers.

Mixing

Use mechanical agitation for mixing and during application. Mix materials until uniform in consistency.

Thinning

Thinning is not normally needed. If a condition warrants thinning, thin only with Hi-Temp #5 Thinner. Thin according to local air regulations.

Clean-up

Use Hi-Temp #5 Thinner.
