Chemical Resistance Guide
UltraThane
Chemical Resistant Urethane Coating
The following Chemical Resistance Guide will aid in determining the effect of various chemicals to Superior's UltraThane Coating. Results are based on ASTM D-1380 procedure. Two samples were prepared based on a Clear and a color base mixed with Pigmented, Light Gray Color Add. Each system was mixed and applied to a panel sealed with Superior's Primer in accordance to Superior's standard specifications. The coatings were allowed to cure for a minimum of 7 days @ 77 °F prior to testing. A rating system for this guide is as follows: UR-4= Color Additive
Film Integrity
- Unaffected
- Affected but area usable after drying
- Partially Destroyed in contacted area
- Contacted area destroyed
Staining
| A. | Unaffected | G. | Stained but removed by soap and water |
| B. | Brown Stain | H. | Stained but removed with xylene or abrasive cleaner |
| C. | White Stain | I. | Loss of Gloss |
| D. | Color Lightened | J. | Green or Blue Stain |
| E. | Yellow Stain | K. | Gray Stain |
| F. | Red or Orange Stain |
