Helicoat 1170 |
|
|
|
|
|
Water based peelable protection for Helicopter acrylic windows and windshields in the aircraft |
|
|
|
|
| |
Helicoat 1170 is specifically formulated for both indoor and outdoor protection against scratching and marring of acrylic windows and windshields during the handling, transportation, and storage of rotary and fixed wing aircraft. It is UV stabilized and will not crack or discolor for up to a year outdoors and well beyond indoors. It remains very pliable and easy to peel leaving no residue or effect on the acrylic surface. It is stabilized against brittleness and is not softened or penetrated by most water-based and solvent based compounds. |
|
|
|
|
| |
Helicoat 1170 is VOC free with water being the only vapor released during the curing process. Helicoat is applied via airless or air assist sprayer. Helicoat peelable coating is non flammable and non combustible as supplied and when the dry strippable film is formed and is also low hazard (see separate Health & Safety Data). |
|
|
|
|
| |
Helicoat 1170 is a CLEAR water resistant, Peelable temporary protective that air dries quickly, leaving a tough, clear flexible coating that is easily removed from a variety of surfaces. Helicoat 1170 represents the ultimate in waterborne removable coating technology. |

Applilcation: |
|
|
| |
Helicoat 1170 should be used as received. It can be applied by airless spray, paint roller, or brush. The coating dries upon water evaporation. Wet coating is milky(white). Dry coating is clear. Helicoat 1170 should be applied to form a dry film in the range of 3 to 10 mils(.003" to .010") thick. Application temperature is ambient to no lower than 50ºF. Drying times will be affected by humidity, film thickness, air movement and temperature. Proper fan placement can speed the dry by removing water at a much faster rate. Application by roller might require a few coats. Thick coating peels in one large continuous sheet. Thin coatings will break in areas of coating weakness. Helicoat 1170 is water based for safe use and easy water clean up. Dry coatings are water resistant. When applying Helicoat 1170 use the same protection as used while applying paint. |

|
| |
Note: It is critical to achieve correct dry film thickness for removal and peeling. |
|
|
|
|
| |
Application may be Lambs wool Ships Roller or by spray (conventional air or airless spray equipment with 21 thou tip size). |
|
|
|
|
| |
Take measures to protect and Mask areas against overspray. Be careful and avoid spraying into small openings where the coating may become thin and subsequently difficult to remove. Must try to Achieve a defined edge at the end of the area to be coated by taping the outer edges or by other methods. Do not apply during rain or frost. |
|
|
|
|
| |
Equipment: Recommended tip size for the Airless System is .070, similar to a glue tip. |

Precautions: |
|
|
| |
The surface to be protected with Helicoat 1170 should be dry, clean and free from oil, grease and other water incompatible matter. The clean surface helps even distribution of Helicoat 1170. The surface remains clean when Helicoat 1170 is removed and surface clean up will not be necessary for second time application. |
|
|
|
|
| |
Patch Test: Always test a small inconspicuous area first. Because of various substrate characteristics and conditions like porosity, deterioration, embattlement, adverse wear area, type of ink, paint and or other coatings applied, abrasion of panted surfaces, and the like ,it is difficult to predetermine specific effects from this product. |

Safety & Handling |
|
|
| |
See application and safety precautions before applying. Liquid product is slippery when wet. Please refer to MSDS. |

Curing: |
|
|
| |
Helicoat 1170 cures upon water evaporation. Dry time is dependent upon temperature, humidity, air movement and thickness of the coating. Curing may be accelerated by forced dry air up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Force dry coatings can cure in less than 10 minutes. Most coatings without assist will dry in a few hours. It is imperative that Helicoat 1170 be thoroughly cured and dry, before an attempt is made to peel the coating from the substrate. Cured coating is clear throughout. Cured Helicoat 1170 is water resistant. Surfaces coated with Helicoat 1170 can be water mopped. |

 |
Storage: |
|
|
| |
Helicoat 1170 should be stored in the original shipping container with temperatures between 60 and 90 degrees F. Container should be sealed until needed. Protection from freezing is necessary. |

 |
Removal: |
|
|
| |
Helicoat 1170 is readily removed from surfaces by peeling any exposed edge. This Peelable coating can be removed by prying an edge and slowly lifting the coating. |
