ACRYLIC COMPOUND FOR BLACK – OUT COATING |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
AVCO-COAT BLAI is an aqueous acrylic compound used for producing black-out effects on textile fabrics by means of crushed foam coating application in the triple coat technique.
AVCO-COAT BLAI is a one-shot black-out coating compound, containing all foaming agents and stabilizers needed for the crushed foam coating process. SPECIFICATIONS:
PROPERTIES & USES: 1. AVCO-COAT BLAI produces flexible film which is resistant to washing and dry cleaning. 2. AVCO-COAT BLAI is designed for the foam coating technique. 3. AVCO-COAT BLAI is an aqueous preparation, and does not release harmful vapours during the drying process. 4. When applied in the proper way, the product is producing an excellent black-out effect, used for curtains, blinds, window shades, upholstery fabrics, bags, and other technical items. 5. AVCO-COAT BLAI is a one-shot compound (“all-in”) based on AVCO-COAT BLAI pre-mixed with an optimized concentration of stabilizers and foaming agents. APPLICATION For producting the black out effect prepare the basic coating paste by blending with foaming agents, foam stabilizer and a cross-linking agent. The basic coating paste should be further mixed with AVCO-LOR WHITE T or AVCO-LOR BLACK MF pigments, as indicated in the following tables. BASIC FOAM COATING PASTE
1. Mix well with a low speed mixer. 2. Adjust to pH 9.5-10 with ammonia solution. 3. If needed viscosity can be increased with AVCO-THICKENER A. 4. For the best black-out effect a triple coating technique should be used: Apply a base-white coat followed by a second black coat and finally a third white top-coat. 5. Prepare the three coating pastes according to the following table:
6. The top coat can be tinted with AVCOLOR pigments. 7. Filter to remove any dried particles. 8. Foaming is done with an industrial foam generator to foam density of 200-240 g/litre. 9. Coating is done with a doctor knife and other coating ranges. 10. Apply to the fabric about 35-70 gr/m2 per coat. 11. The wet foam coat should be dried at 100-110°C and subsequently cold pressed (crushed) before further coat can be applied. The white layers can be tinted with any pigment from the AVCO-LOR pigment dispersions range to the desired colour (check light fastness properties). 12. After completion of the coating processes curing is done by fixation in the oven at 150-160°C for 2-3 minutes. 13. If needed the curing can be combined with a final finishing process such as water and oil repellency. 14. If desired a special coating can be done on the other side of the fabric with tinted or untinted AVCO-COAT AC-B. 15. Partially used drums should be resealed with the original cover. 16. Add AVCO-FIX HM to the AVCO-COAT BLAI only before use. 17. Ready made foam coating paste should be used as soon as possible. Remainings should be used within a few days.
