VG-104: ValuGard Undercoating

DESCRIPTION

A high performance solvent based coating for the underside or side panels of automotive vehicles, highway trailers, bus bodies, truck bodies, RVs, travel trailers etc.  ValuGard VG-104 Undercoating provides a flexible and abrasion resistant coating for superior protection against corrosion caused by moisture, salt and alkalis.  May be applied at 12 -15 mils wet for undercoating or up to 60 mils wet for added sound deadening and vibration dampening. 

MATERIALS                                                                                        

ValuGard VG-104 undercoating is an abrasive free material, formulated with specially refined petroleum asphalt, modified with special additives, and inert fillers.  Blended with low aromatic content rule 75 mineral spirits and an odorant to achieve the best possible odor during application and drying.    Consult SDS for safety measures.  

APPLICATION

ValuGard VG-104 undercoating is a thixotropic formula results in lower spray pressures for greater control with less overspray, back-spray and fogging. Excellent sprayability over a wide range of temperatures without heating. Super filtration and viscosity control allow smaller tip sizes and better coverage with decreased material consumption. Apply with conventional airless spray equipment.

Recommended Pumps                          Tips sizes

15:1 with 40-50 lbs. of air             .017-.023 inches

 Note:-Industrial applications may use larger volume pumps (Graco King or Bulldog)
      -Product may also be applied using air atomized siphon or pressure pot systems
