M-Coat D

Description
Air-drying solvent-thinned (toluene) acrylic. Dense white color for easy visual inspection of coverage. Forms hard thin coating capable of high elongation. Can be removed with M-LINE Rosin Solvent or toluene. Apply in thin coats to prevent solvent entrapment. Film thickness 0.005-0.01 in (0.10-0.25 mm) per coat. Good general laboratory moisture barrier. Electrical leakage negligible even when uncured. Good base coating for subsequent applications of M-Coat B . Convenient for anchoring and insulating intrabridge wiring and jumper leads. Chemical resistance only fair but can be improved by postcure at +175°F (+80°C) for 30 minutes.
