THERMOGUARD APPLICATION PROCEDURE

The coils are then oven baked at 275 degrees Fahrenheit until completely dry.

When the coils are cooled, they are primed with Diamond ZX which is a conversion coating for aluminum surfaces. Diamond ZX reacts with aluminum to create an outstanding adhesion layer for applying a top coating of Fin Guard. The coils are then air dried with clean filtered air and oven baked at 275 degrees for 30 minutes.

Setting up a special spray pump for application of Fin Guard under 3,248 psi of pressure.

After cooling, the coils are spray coated with Fin Guard which is a one component, moisture curing, aluminum impregnated polyurethane coating. To obtain full coverage, the coils are sprayed from both sides at a 60 degree angle from the top and at a 60 degree angle from the bottom. The coils are then air dried with clean filtered air for one to two days before shipment.

This coating process, which has been proven over many years of use, gives the best corrosion protection from salt air, hydrogen sulfide, sulphur dioxide and many other gases commonly found in chemical plants, refineries, pulp and paper mills and offshore drilling/production platforms.
