Technical Specifications

Selection and Specification Data

Product Name	Mascoat Marine Thermal Insulation Coating

Product Number	DTM GEN2

Generic Type	Water-based Acrylic Marine Insulation Coating

Description	Mascoat Marine is a multi-purpose coating that provides thermal insulation and anti-condensation protection. It combines painting and insulating solutions for marine vessels and provides drastic reduction in temperatures for its thickness

Features	IMO/SOLAS compatible MED certification Provides anti-condensation protection Dramatically reduces heat absorption due to radiant heat gain Excellent personnel protection Easy application characteristics Applies to almost any surface Extended recoat window Fast drying and curing rates No harmful volatile organic compounds

Gloss	Flat

Color	White and Light Grey. Custom tinting can be done at special request.

Priming	Self-priming over non-ferrous materials (stainless steel & aluminum). Primers are required for carbon steel substrates.

Topcoats	Please consult Mascoat

Wet weight	5.10-5.20 lbs/gal (0.6 kg/liter)

Weight dry film to area	0.037 lbs/ft² at 20 mils dft (0.181 kg/m² at 0.5 mm dft)

Volume Solids Content	80-82%

Average Coat Thickness	20-22 mils WFT at 70^o-130^oF (0.5 mm WFT at 21^o-54^oC)

Practical Wet Coat Coverage	60-65 ft²/gal @ 20mils (1.6 m²/liter @ 0.5 mm)

Practical Dry Coat Coverage	50-55 ft²/gal @ 20mils (1.3 m²/liter @ 0.5 mm)

VOC Content	0.0 lbs/gal (1.57 grams/liter)

Limitations	Applications should not exceed 225^oF (107^oC) or peak areas above. Do not subject wet coating in pail format to freezing conditions.

Substrates & Surface Preparation

Surface Prep	Surface should be dry and free of foreign matter. Surface prep can be used to NACE 1-3 (SSPC SP 5-6) when applicable.

Ferrous Surfaces	Should be primed prior to application of Mascoat Marine. Since the coating is water-based, it is important to have a boundary layer of protection to eliminate flash rusting.

Non-ferrous Surfaces	The coating can be applied directly to non-ferrous surfaces. Surface should be clean and free of oil, dirt or any other foreign matter.

Application Equipment

Airless Sprayer

Pump Ratio:	33:1 or larger

Volume:	1.5 gpm (5.6 lpm) or greater

Hose:	3/8″ or larger with no more than 3′ of 1/4″ whip. 1/2″ hose recommended for length above 50′;

Top Size:	.017″ (for tight spots) .019-.023″ (for normal use)

Pressure:	Minimum of 3000 PSI

Small Spray Application

Please consult Mascoat for the sprayer. This gun is excellent for small applications & touchups.

Brush

Brushing is only recommended for touchup of less than 0.5 ft² (0.04 m²). Brushing can inhibit coating performance. Please consult Mascoat for detailed instructions regarding brushing.

Roller

Not recommended for this coating.

Application Equipment

Surface Temperatures	Surface temperatures for applications should be 60^oF (15^oC) or above. Lower surface temperatures will increase dry times.

Applications	Ambient & Cold (60^o-139^oF, 15^o-59^oC): For temperatures (surface or ambient - whichever is lower), an initial tack coat is recommended of 10 mils (0.25 mm or 250 microns). This tack coat will help to eliminate sag on vertical wall applications. Tack coat should be dry to touch prior to next pass. Typlical coat thickness should not exceed 20-22 mils (0.50-0.55 mm) wet. Coating can be reapplied after each coat is thoroughly dry. Hot (>140^oF, >60^oC): Application of Mascoat Marine should be applied as per Mascoat detailed hot application instructions.

Application Thickness	Product can be applied in successive coats to increase insulation abilities.

Forced Ventilation	Forced ventilation should be used to help coating dry and hang on vertical surfaces. Air movement should be both in/out during drying process.

Dryfall	Dryfall within a 3 ft. radius.
