VICOTE F817 can be applied to most ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Cast metals need to be de-gassed in an oven to prevent pin holes in the coating surface. Aluminum and other thermally sensitive substrates may be coated however the mechanical properties of the substrate may be affected when exposed to VICOTE processing temperatures.
The VICOTE F817 enhanced adhesion grade can be used on metal substrates where limited surface roughening is allowed or desired. When using this VICOTE grade the adhesion to a non-roughened or grit blasted surface is much higher than using the standard VICOTE dispersions. VICOTE F817 will withstand 24 hours boiling water test on non-grit blasted stainless steel without loss of adhesion.
VICOTE dispersions are aqueous based, however there may be small amounts of solvent present.
VICOTE® is the brand name for the Victrex range of coatings based on VICTREX® PEEK™ polymer. The VICOTE dispersions are available through Victrex plc or its preferred coater network. Contact Victrex plc for further details.
