4. Setup and Surface Preparation
Proper surface preparation is critical for optimal adhesion and performance of CERAKOTE coatings. Do not skip or rush these steps.
4.1. Required Equipment
- HVLP or conventional spray gun with appropriate nozzle size (e.g., 0.8mm - 1.4mm).
- Air compressor with moisture separator.
- Abrasive blasting equipment (optional, but recommended for optimal adhesion on metals).
- Degreaser (e.g., acetone, MEK, or specialized Cerakote degreaser).
- Clean, lint-free cloths.
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as outlined in Section 2.
4.2. Surface Preparation Steps
- Демонтаж: Disassemble the item to be coated into its individual components.
- Даражаasing: Thoroughly degrease all surfaces using a suitable degreaser. Ensure all oils, greases, and contaminants are removed. Repeat if necessary.
- Abrasive Blasting (for Metals): For optimal adhesion on metal substrates, abrasive blast the surface using 100-120 grit aluminum oxide at 80-100 PSI. This creates a profile for the coating to adhere to. Avoid blasting polymers unless specified by the manufacturer.
- Акыркы тазалоо: After blasting (if applicable), re-degrease the surface to remove any blasting media residue or new contaminants. Use clean, lint-free cloths.
- Кургатуу: Ensure the surface is completely dry before application. Use compressed air to blow out any crevices.
4.3. Product Preparation
- Жакшы чайкагыла: CERAKOTE C-SERIES coatings contain solids that will settle. Shake the bottle vigorously for at least 5 minutes before use to ensure a uniform mixture.
- No Catalyst: This C-Series product is air-cured and does not require a catalyst. Do not add any.
- Strain (Optional): For best results, strain the coating through a 100-190 micron filter before pouring into the spray gun cup to prevent clogs.
5. Operating Instructions (Application)
Apply CERAKOTE C-SERIES GLACIER BLACK in a controlled environment, maintaining consistent temperature and humidity if possible.
5.1. Spray Gun Settings
- Аба басымы: Typically 20-30 PSI at the gun, depending on the gun type and desired atomization. Adjust as needed for a fine, even spray pattern.
- Fluid Control: Adjust to achieve a consistent flow without excessive material.
5.2. Application Technique
- Hold the spray gun 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) from the surface.
- Apply thin, even coats with overlapping passes. Avoid heavy coats, which can lead to runs or uneven curing.
- Allow 5-10 minutes flash time between coats, or until the surface appears matte and no longer wet.
- Typically, 1-2 coats are sufficient to achieve full coverage and desired film thickness.
- Ensure all surfaces are evenly coated.
5.3. Curing Process
- CERAKOTE C-SERIES GLACIER BLACK is an air-cure coating. It will be dry to the touch within 24 hours at ambient temperatures (60-75°F / 15-24°C).
- Full cure and maximum hardness are achieved over a period of 5-7 days. Handle coated items carefully during this initial curing period.
- Do not expose to harsh chemicals or extreme abrasion until fully cured.
6. Техникалык тейлөө
Once fully cured, CERAKOTE C-SERIES GLACIER BLACK is highly durable and requires minimal maintenance.
- Тазалоо: Clean coated surfaces with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents, especially during the initial cure period.
- Коргоо: While highly resistant, avoid unnecessary impact or scratching to preserve the finish.
7. Кыйынчылыктарды
This section addresses common issues that may arise during application.
| Маселе | Мүмкүн себеп | Чечим |
|---|---|---|
| Poor Adhesion / Peeling | Improper surface preparation (oils, grease, inadequate blast profile). | Ensure thorough degreasing and proper abrasive blasting (for metals). Re-clean and re-apply. |
| Uneven Finish / Orange Peel | Incorrect spray gun settings (too much or too little air pressure), improper distance, or too thick coats. | Adjust air pressure and fluid control. Maintain consistent spray distance. Apply thinner, even coats. |
| Runs / Sags | Applying coats too heavily or not allowing sufficient flash time between coats. | Apply thinner coats. Increase flash time between coats. |
| Clogging Spray Gun | Coating not shaken well, or not strained. | Shake product thoroughly before use. Strain coating before pouring into gun. Clean gun immediately after use. |
