GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING
POR-15 Heat Resistant Paints
POR-20, ALUMINUM .. FACTORY
MANIFOLD GRAY..
AND BLACK VELVET ..
General Information:
POR-20, FACTORY MANIFOLD
GRAY, and BLACK VELVET are designed for use on steel
subject to elevated temperatures. The recommended
application is two coats applied directly to properly
prepared steel. These products will dry to the touch and
can be easily handled afterward, but will remain relatively
soft until exposed to heat over 300 degrees Fahrenheit
(150oC). They may be susceptible to mechanical damage,
but are unaffected by moderate term weather exposure.
Avoid touching surface to be painted because natural oils in
skin will interfere with proper adhesion.
Surface Preparation:
Steel surfaces must be dry and
cleaned of dirt, oils, rust, and other contaminants. For top
performance and service, the best preparation is abrasive
sand blasting. Stainless steel surfaces should be given
a sweep-blast, or otherwise be mechanically abraded to
create a surface profile which will give improved bonding.
Surgical-type gloves should be worn for handling to keep
natural body oils off the prepared surface.
Spray Application:
Reduce, if necessary, up to 1 part
POR-15® Solvent to 8 parts Heat Resistant paints. For
Best Results: Two thin covering coats are recommended.
Any sagging or running indicates that application is too
heavy. Allow paint to set for 24 hours on the surface before
temperature is raised. When applying two coats, allow the
first coat to air dry 24 hours at 75OF (22OC) before
recoating. Avoid going over the same area again after it has
been painted. Alternately, the second coat may be applied
after the first coat has been subjected to a surface
temperature of 400OF (205OC)and then allowed to cool
down.
Thinner:
For brush or spray and clean-up purposes, use
only POR-15 SOLVENT.
Dry time: At 75oF (24oC), dry time is 4 hours to touch.
Recoat after a minimum of 24 hours. Attains full hardness
only after heat exposure above 300 degrees
fahrenheit(150oC).
Safety: Improper handling and use may be hazardous.
Recommended safety precautions for storage, handling,
and application must be observed.
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame :
Use withadequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist.
Wear an appropriate properly fitted respirator (NIOSH/MSHA approved) during and after application unless air
monitoring demonstrates vapor/mist levels are below applicable limits.
Follow respirator manufacturer’s directions
for respirator use. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling.
FIRST AID: In case of eye contact, flush with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention. For
skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If affected by
inhalation of vapor or spray mist, remove to fresh air. If
swallowed, get medical attention. Keep container closed
when not in use. In case of spillage, absorb with inert
material and dispose of in accordance with applicable local
regulations.
