Using SLIP Plate® No. 1

Preparation:
Stir material prior to use. It is important to properly stir the material with a hand stir stick or paint mixer. This allows any graphite and bonding agents that may have settled normally during transportation to be properly mixed. It is normal for the material to settle, and it may take some time to mix by hand. Paint mixers that are attached to a standard drill will speed up this process.

Prepare your surface. The most important part of the coating process is proper surface preparation. Remove any loose debris, mud, paint, rust or grit by high pressure water cleaning, scraper, or wire brush. Use a solvent like an aerosol brake cleaner to remove any residual petroleum or grease from previous application.

Application:
Apply by brush, roller, dipping, or airless spray equipment. Apply material as you would for any normal paint job. Material when applied by brush should have a film thickness of 5 to 7 mil. When applied by airless spray equipment, the film thickness should be 4 to 7 mil. When applied by roller the film thickness will be 3 to 6 mil.

Allow coated surface to dry a minimum of 8 hours between coats in a wellventilated area. For extreme wear applications, apply two coats, but it is recommended that the first coating is allowed to dry at least 8 hours. Allow additional time for high humidity and low temperature conditions.

Surface temperature should be 50-100°F (10-37.8°C) at application. Application of this product to very hot (>300°°°F) or cold surfaces (<20°°°F) is not recommended as this will affect the bonding performance of the product. Once dry, the dry film coating will not be affected by temperature extremes.

Clean-Up Instructions:
Clean up material with soap and water or as you would with typical house-type paint. Material once dry will be very difficult to remove from painting equipment. If removal is required after coating has dried, use of paint thinner, VM&P Naphtha or similar solventbased cleaner is advised. Note that these chemicals may damage underlying painted surfaces.
