GENERAL INFORMATION

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

APPLICATION
Bake-Enamel  is an alkyd modified urea-melamine single component baking enamel. This fully crossed linked coating is suitable for steel and aluminum substrates that tolerate baking @ 3000 F (minimum) for 20 to 30 minutes. A chemical pretreatment is required for adhesion (iron phosphate for steel and clear/yellow chromate for aluminum). If a chemical pretreatment is not available, than a primer coat is required. Use of ECL Wash Primer 2035-534 is recommended.

Bake-Enamel cures at a baking temperature of 275í-300íF for 20-30 minutes (substrate and dwell time). Bake-enamel will provide a hard, tough, mar resistant film with excellent durability.

This formula is custom-matched according to your specifications, and is capable of being textured using standard air-pressurized spray equipment. It is also available as a self-texturing, single step application. Gloss range is 5%-75% as measured utilizing a 60í gloss meter.

See MSDS for further information about health, safety and storage guide.

CLEAN UP: Clean all equipment as soon as possible with 928 Washing Thinner.

BASE COAT- (conventional spray equip.)

Fluid pressure: 15 ‚ 20 PSI

Air pressure: 50 PSI

Reduction: 20% with X-1 Enamel Reducer

Viscosity: #2 Zahn cup 20 ‚ 25 seconds

Application, smooth coat: Apply two smooth wet cross coats:

If texturing, allow minimum 15 minutes flash-off or pre-bake 5 min@275íF. If smooth finish coat is desired, flash off 15-30 minutes prior to baking

TEXTURE COAT-

Fluid pressure: 10 ‚ 15 PSI

Air pressure: 5 ‚ 20 PSI depending on texture pattern desired.

Viscosity: Use same as base coat or increase according to texture pattern. (Use of full body material may be necessary to achieve some textures.)

Flash-off: 15-30 minutes after texturing; depending on ambient air temperature and air movement.

BAKE CYCLE

Flash-off: 15-30 minutes

Bake times: 20-30 min @2750 ‚ 3000F

Note times and temperatures are SUBSTRATE and DWELL TIME.
