WSL -55
Water Soluble Lacquer |
|
General Description:
WSL-55 is a water born, air drying, clear lacquer which is recommended for use on all types of metal surfaces, specially Copper, Brass, Silver, Zinc and Cadmium. WSL-55 dries to a bright, crystal clear finish which provides tarnish and corrosion.
Advantages:
- Non-flammable, very safe.
- Excellent corrosion and tarnish protection.
- Excellent adhesion.
- Excellent solvent resistance and humidity resistance.
- Good to excellent resistance to salt spray corrosion.
- Good to excellent satin resistance.
- Good to excellent hardness.
- Wide range of Immersion times.
- Heat resistance, good color retention even at 300ºF.
Operating Conditions:
- WSL-55 is supplied "ready to go" and can easily be sprayed using conventional air and airless spray equipment.
|
- To reduce the viscosity, use only tap water up to 50% depending the thickness required and the shape of the part.
|
- If foaming occurs during the mixing with water, allow to settle or skim off the surface before using.
|
- Immersion time is 5 to 10 seconds and usually will dry in air within 15 to 30 minutes, for faster drying, heat may be applied using temperature of 150º-200ºF.
|
- Parts may be dipped WET since the lacquer is water soluble, however the parts should be rinsed thoroughly before being lacquered.
|
- The dip tanks should be lined with a non-rusting material such as stainless steel, fiberglass, or Polypropylene.
