AC Tech BoeGel AC-130 Metal Pre-Bond Surface Treatment 4-part Kit - BSMS-25-001

AC-130 may be applied to surfaces after manually deoxidizing the surface by either 1) grit blasting; 2) sanding with #180 or finer sandpaper; or 3) Scotch-Brite pad abrasion. The success of the bonding operation relies on the thorough de-oxidation and preparation of the metal surface.

Typical Application Technique: Prepare AC-130 in accordance with instructions. Scape up for size of part and the method of spray application as necessary. Application rate is approximately 1 liter of AC-130 per 50 square feet of surface to be coated.

Spray Application: Apply AC-130 coating solution by spray-drenching the part of surface. Spray solution generously, allowing excess to run off of the part surface. Keep part surface continuously wet with the solution for a minimum of 1 minute. Part surfaces must not be allowed to dry and should be drench with the fresh solution at least 1 time during the application period. Insure treated surface does not dry between spray coats. Larger surface areas may require being coated by sections.

Allow coated part to drain for 5-10 minutes. If there is any surplus AC-130 solution that has pooled or collected in crevices, pockets, or other collection areas, including drip edges or fastener holes, use filtered compressed air to blow off excess solution while maintaining a wet surface. Do not splatter this excess solution onto adjoining part surfaces. A cloth pre-wetter with AC-130 may be used to gently blot, not rub, the surface of pooled solution. Do not blow dry areas of the part that are able to freely drain.

Brish Application: Apply fresh AC-130 liberally by brushing with a clean natural bristle brush or swabbing with a clean wiper, cheesecloth or gauze. Do not scrub with a brush or applicator. Apply solution generously, keeping the part surface continuously wet with the solution for a minimum period of 1 minutes. Part surface should be drenched with solution. Brishes or wipers should not leave streaks on the surface. Part surfaces must not be allowed to dry and be covered with fresh solution at least 1 time during the solution application process.

Allow coating part to drain for 5 to 10 minutes. If there is any surplus AC-130 solution that has pooled or collected in crevices, pockets or other collection areas, including drip edges or fastener holes, use filtered compressed air to blow off excess solution while maintaining a wet surface. Do not splatter this excess solution onto adjoining part surfaces. A cloth pre-wetted with AC-130 may be used to gently blot, not rub, the surface of pooled solution. Do not blow dry areas of the part that are able to freely drain.

Dry/Cure of AC-130: Dry the solution-coated parts under ambient conditions for a minimum of 60 minutes. Minimize contact with the part, as the coating may be easily damaged or contaminated until fully cured. Exact drying time will vary depending upon part configuration of the part and ambient conditions. Alternately, after drying at ambient temperature for a minimum of 30 minutes, parts may be heated to 140 degrees Fahrenheit maximum for an additional 30 minutes minimum to facilitate drying. After drying, coated surfaces should be protected from contamination prior to applying the bonding primer.

Health and Safety Precautions

AC-130 is safe to use and apply when recommended precautions are followed. Before using this product, read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), which provides information on health, physical and environmental hazards, handling precautions and first aid recommendations. An MSDS is available upon request. Avoid overexposure. Obtain medical care in case of extreme overexposure.

StorageThe shelf life of AC-130 and AC-130-2 is 12 months from date of manufacture, when stored in the original unopened containers between 40 degrees F and 100 degress F.

Financial Benefits

End users have documented cost savings upwards of $5 million in the way of process time improvements and hazardous material reductions.

Time savings: reduction in process flow time comparing Grit Blast Silane, PACS or PANTA to Scotch Brite/AC-130, yields a minimum of a 40% reduction cost.

Hazardous Materials: Elimination of hazardous materials such as chromates, acids and caustic materials. Hazardous rinse water and waste water containment systems are eliminated.
