CREATE PDF-FILEACEPHOB S
ACEPHOB S is a solvent free coating for sandblasted glass. It leaves the aspect of the glass virtually unchanged and covers the glass surface with a protective layer against dirt and water. Both effects can be improved by heat curing. Contamination such as fingerprints can be removed without problems.
Instructions for Use
1. Preparation
At first the glass dust sticking to the sandblastedglass surface must be removed by:
- cleaning the glass with compressed air
- wiping off the glass dust with an antistatic cloth
- cleaning the glass in a suitable glass washing machine (in case of questions please contact our application laboratory)
2. Application
Optimum results are obtained by applying ACEPHOB S horizontally with a spray gun (e.g. Walther pilot 93-ND).
If a spray gun is not available, ACEPHOB S can be applied manually. In this case ACEPHOB S is sprayed onto the glass surface with a spray bottle and then spread uniformly over the sandblasted glass surface using a clean cloth/paint roller.
After a drying time of approx. 5 minutes, the glass can be transported. To ensure complete drying, the treated glass is left overnight.
Note: Before applying ACEPHOB S we recommend to protect all parts of the glass which were not sand blasted since on clear glass ACEPHOB S leaves a milky residue.
3. Usage
In order to achieve a uniform application ACEPHOB S should be used economically. More than 10 -20 ml/m² should not be applied.
Important: Glass coated with ACEPHOB S is cleaned with hot water. In case of very resistant residues use dry cleaning gasoline first and than a commercial glass cleaner.
4. After treatment
If an improved water and dirt repellent effect is required, the coated glass has to be heated up to approx. 80°C for 1 min. This can be achieved by using hot air (commercially available hairdryer or industrial fan) or by infra-red lamps. For further information please contact our application laboratory.
Handling
When applying ACEPHOB S (especially when using a spray gun) sufficient ventilation must be provided. For more safety information please see our Material Safety Data Sheet.
Storage
Stored in well closed containers at temperatures between 5 and 35 °C the minimum shelf life of ACEPHOB S is 1 year. Temperatures higher than 40 °C and frost must be avoided.
