• Immersion – Suitable fresh water or sea water.
• Temperature Range – Up to 93ºC (dry heat), 38ºC (wet heat).
• Colour – Most colours available.
• Topcoating – Normally not required in industrial service although for aesthetic reasons or exposure to UV light may be topcoated with two pack finishes such as AMERCOAT 450K, ISO-FREE 977 or PSX700 Polysiloxane or single pack PSX1001.
