Application of M-Coat JA Protective Coating.

DYK: M-Coat JA can be applied to vertical or overhanging surfaces.

FEATURES:
• Excellent resistance to moisture.
• Good resistance to chemicals.
• Good protection against mechanical damage.
• Room-temperature cure.

M-Coat JA is a two-part, polysulfide, liquid polymer compound for environmental protection of strain gage installations. When fully cured, it forms a rubber-like covering that provides an effective barrier against water and many other fluids. The tough coating also protects installations from mechanical damage. M-Coat JA has a paste-like consistency when mixed, and can be spread to the desired thickness with a spatula. Because it will not run or sag, M-Coat JA can be applied to vertical or overhanging surfaces. The operating temperature range is from -65° to +250°F [-54° to +121°C] for long-term service, and to +360°F [+182°C] for short-term service. It may be cured at room temperature or at a moderately elevated temperature. The elevated-temperature cure will improve moisture resistance, and is recommended for long-term applications.
