about PFOA and PFOS.
Fluorothane MW 1.01
Fluorothane MW 1.01 is a single-part, air-cured fluorourethane alkyd
brush or roll coating in both organic fluorinated solvent with excellent
water repellancy (contact angle 150°) and resistance to weather and
UV. This version of the M-series Fluorothanes has the broadest application
temperature range. Fluorothane MW applied to microwave dishes and radomes
may be expected to remain hydrophobic, reducing rain attenuation or rain
fade for 10 years or more (UV and rain data
). The coating is rain resistant after 6 hours, substantially cures in 24
hours and is fully cured in 5 to 10 days. Application temperatures should
be between 32° and 95°F. One gallon covers 200 to 400 square feet.
Snow Series and DIRECTV
Outdoor Test
Residential and commercial applications to marine and ground-based microwave
antenna.
$60 per pint, $95 per quart, $220 per gallon.
Available in aerosol cans as WX2100 , please visit www.WX2100.com

Fluorothane GE
Fluorothane GE is a hydrophobic (Ø > 110°) single-part
fluorourethane alkyd coating in a non-flammable fluorinated solvent system.
The GE coating has a gloss finish that will amber slightly after extended
uv exposure but has excellent weather resistance and may be applied over
most surfaces. GE substantially cures in 24 hours and is fully cured in
3 to 7 days. One liter covers 150 to 300 square feet.
Applications to mobile, marine and aircraft radomes.
$210 per liter (1/02) MSDS
Fluorothane TFA Top Coat
Fluorothane TFA Top Coat is an aliphatic fluorourethane-fluoropolymer
coating in a fluorinated solvent and is intended for application over uncured
Fluorothane GE or G5 primers to provide increased hydrophobic and oleophobic
properties. The coating substantially cures in 24 hours and is fully
cured in 3 to 7 days. One pound TFA covers 50-100 square feet. MSDS
Top coat for ground, marine and aircraft microwave antenna.
$132 per pound (3/01)
Fluorothane TFA-G5-900 KIT
Fluorothane TFA Top Coat is a smooth, glossy aliphatic fluorourethane-fluoropolymer
coating in a fluorinated solvent and is intended for application over "wet"
Fluorothane G5 Primer. TFA-G5-900 has excellent water repellancy (Ø=120°)
and solvent and abrasion resistance. Fluorothane TFA has moderate uv resistance
and will remain hydrophobic for 1 to 5 years with intermittant sun exposure.
The top coat/G5 primer coating substantially cures in 24 hours and is
fully cured in 3 to 7 days; cure may be accelerated with heat. One pound
covers about 50 square feet. MSDS
Fluorothane G5 Primer is a two-part aliphatic fluorourethane coating
in an aromatic solvent system. The primer has excellent abrasion, weather
and uv resistance and may be applied over most solvent resistant surfaces.
MSDS
Commercial applications to aircraft weather radomes. One pound kit includes:
one pound TFA Top Coat, one pound G5 Primer. APPLICATION
