Automotive underbody protective coating.
A solvent borne synthetic fibre filled blend of modified bitumen.
Uses
autokote is a corrosion resistant coating on automotive underbodies (car, truck etc.) and farming implements.
Advantages
- Impact and abrasion resistant.
- Corrosion resistant.
- Water resistant.
- Sound deadening.
- Maximum service temperature: 70 ºC.
Properties
Surface preparation
Surfaces must be clean, sound and dry.
Colour
Bonding/priming
While autokote may be applied directly to any properly prepared surface, better corrosion resistance will be obtained over suitable primers. Steel may be primed with abe® 4-metal primer.
Mixing
Stir well before use.
Coverage
±0.7 m2/L on smooth surfaces. (Less on textured surfaces). Minimum two coats.
Application
autokote may be applied by brush but this is normally reserved for small areas. Most commercial applications are made with a splutter gun having a nozzle of 6 mm diameter.
Cleaning
Tools, brushes and mixing equipment should be cleaned immediately after use and before material has set with abe® super brush cleaner followed by washing with soap and water.
Protection/maintenance on completion
None.
Packaging
1 L, 5 L and 25 L containers.
Handling and storage
Shelf life of 24 months, but shorter if in extreme conditions. Keep tightly sealed in a dry cool place in the original packaging.
Caution
autokote is not suitable for use over wax-based materials or PVC underbody coatings as this will affect the drying.
Health & safety
