Wearlon PM2020.98 - Medium Silicone Topcoat

The heart of the Wearlon System

Two component, water base, room temperature cure, abrasion resistance, with lubricity and non-stick properties. Meets EPA, USDA and FDA 21 CFR 175.300 Requirements.

Wearlon chemistry grafts silicone molecules to epoxy molecules, thereby distributing the silicone throughout the epoxy matrix. Silicone is the non-stick, hydrophobic, lubricious component. Epoxy is the hardness, adhesion component.

Wearlon PM2020.98 is used where non-stick as well as high abrasion resistance is required. With its high cross link density this product is excellent for dusty applications and as a decontamination coating for the Nuclear Industry. PM2020.98 is also the choice coating for equipment that requires extensive cleaning found in the Pulp and Paper Industry.

Wearlon PM4545.76 - High Silicone Topcoat

Two component, water base, room temperature cure, abrasion resistance, lubricity with increased non-stick properties compared to PM2020.98. Meets EPA, USDA and FDA 21 CFR 175.300 Requirements.

Wearlon PM4545.76 is slightly softer than PM2020.98 but with increased silicone to provide greater non-stick properties. It is the coating of choice for many applications in the Pulp And Paper and Adhesive Industries.

Wearlon PM4545.76 AG - Anti-Graffiti Topcoat

Two component, water base, room temperature cure, with non-toxic properties. Meets EPA, USDA and FDA 21 CFR 175.300 Requirements.

Wearlon chemistry grafts silicone molecules to epoxy molecules, thereby distributing the silicone throughout the epoxy matrix. Silicone is the non-stick, hydrophobic, lubricious component. Epoxy is the hardness, adhesion component.

Wearlon PM4545.76 AG is suitable for a variety of applications for the discouragement of Graffiti and the easy clean of industrial soiling. The coating adheres readily to a variety of substrates including concrete, wood, plastic, fiberglass, stainless steel, metal and over most existing paints and coatings.

This pigmented version comes in the standard color of Ivory. Other colors are available to match your application.

Wearlon 711 / 722 - Anti-Graffiti CLEAR Topcoat

Wearlon 711 - Two component, water base, room temperature cure, with easy clean properties. Wearlon 711 is an acrylic polyester emulsion. A 5% addition of an acid catalyst #3 to the Wearlon 711 is required to achieve room temperature cure. Wearlon 711 is an extremely hard, transparent, UV resistant coating.

Most graffitied surfaces may be wiped clean with a damp sponge. For surfaces that have been spray painted or marked with a permanent marker, Wearlon suggests the use of a mild alkali detergent while scrubbing with a nylon brush. Conventional household cleaners are quite effective at removing stains. For large areas, a power brush spray system with a diluted alcohol water solution or the use of conventional paint thinner such as mineral spirits is recommended.

Wearlon 722 - One component, water base, room temperature cure, with excellent adhesion. Meets EPA, USDA and FDA 21 CFR 175.300 Requirements. Wearlon 722 is an air dry, water base polyester with excellent hardness, flexibility, chemical and abrasion resistance. Base Coat 722 has excellent UV resistance, permitting its use in interior and exterior coating applications. Wearlon recommends using Base Coat 722 applied at 1 mil d.f.t. before application of Wearlon 711.

Wearlon Super F1-Icephobic

Designed for end users that require more non-stick situations without heavy abrasion. Excellent for roof edges, bridges, communication towers, tractor trailer roofs etc. where ice build up has been a problem.

• Non-stick - Low surface energy reduces adhesion ability of a wide range of substrates.
• Lubricity - The inherent slip of the polymer is reduced compared to PM4545.76.
• Adhesion - Adheres tenaciously to a wide range of substrates.
• Durability - Maintenance friendly, easy to clean surface.
• Environmentally Friendly - Low V.O.C., a water base system, lead free, non-toxic, non-leaching, free from known carcinogens.

Wearlon Super F1-M - Marine Topcoat

Two component, water base, room temperature cure, grafted silicone epoxy with increased silicone and boosted hardness that enhances the non-stick, easy clean biofouling properties. Meets EPA, USDA and FDA 21 CFR 175.300 Requirements.

Designed for end users that require more non-stick, easy clean, biofouling above and below water. i.e.: Ideal for Boat bottoms.

• Non-stick - This improved chemistry greatly reduces biofouling and coupled with the angle of contact to the water will improve speed and fuel consumption on a boat when applied as a bottom coating.
• Lubricity - The inherent slip of the polymer is reduced compared to PM4545.76 topcoat.
• Adhesion - Adheres tenaciously to a vide range of substrates.
• Durability- Maintenance friendly, easy to clean surface.
• Environmentally Friendly - Low V.O.C., a water base system, lead free, non-toxic, non-leaching, free from known carcinogens.

Wearlon Speed Coat-49

Speed Coat-49 is a silicone epoxy having unique properties when in contact with water. It is extremely hydrophobic having surface properties approaching that of dimethyl silicones, i.e., 22 dynes/cm surface tension and contact angles with water of 100°. Speed Coat-49 is perfectly suited for marine applications allowing for an easy cleaning of surfaces while supplying reduced drag resistance through the water. Experiments at a leading university have demonstrated Speed Coat-49 reduced drag resistance with water that previously could only be obtained with dimethyl-silicones while having the abrasion resistance of that obtained with epoxies. Glass surfaces coated with Speed Coat-49 have demonstrated a 1.62% reduction in drag resistance for water. A typical epoxy that is used as a marine coating demonstrated a drag penalty of 21 to 23 percent, while Speed Coat-49 under the same conditions resulted in a maximum drag reduction of -4.25 percent. The low surface energy allows for easy removal of algae and grass and very weak adhesion of living organisms such as barnacles. Speed Coat-49 with these properties allows more water to flow through a given area, which is especially rewarding in the hydroelectric and marine facilities. Speed Coat-49 can be manufactured as an electrically non-conductive coating, Êconceivably avoiding galvanic corrosion associated with anti-fouling paints on aluminum boats or components.

Wearlon Super F-3M

This coating is similar to Super F-1M, but with improved abrasion properties. Super F-3M, according to an independent testing laboratory, has tremendous water shedding properties and is spectacular in its hydrophobic properties, even approaching that which is achieved with paraffin wax. Both Super F-1M and Super F-3M have applications in waste water treatment facilities.

Wearlon Super F-4

Though this coating has a lower silicone functionality than the other Super F series of coatings, it is the hardest of all Wearlon coatings.

• Pencil hardness - 2H
• Hydrophobic Drop Trail - excellent (5 rating).
• No electrical conductivity
• Completeness of cure - good
• Flexibility (bar mandrel) - pass 1 1/2 inches
  • Impact test
  • Direct (in lb) - 8
• Reverse (in lb) - 20
• Abrasion resistance (weight loss after 1,000 cycles) - 0.08%
• Gloss 60¡ - 9.8
