Using Superflake® Cold Oven Chain Lubricant

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, but the unique graphite powder utilize will quickly and easily go into suspension.

Prepare your surface. The most important part of the coating process is proper surface preparation. Remove any loose debris, rust or grit prior to coating if possible.

Wear proper painting equipment. It is important to follow all appropriate OSHA safety standards and wear a mask and protective clothing as needed.

Application:
Apply with exhaust blowers running. It is important when spraying this product that exhaust blowers and fans be operating to prevent build up on dust in the area. It is recommended that a paint mask be worn when using this product.

Flash off solvent prior to operation of oven. After replacing the chain and coating it with Cold Oven Chain, it is important to flash the remaining solvents off. This can be done by opening all dampers and exhaust fans and running the oven.

Apply by roller, brush air or airless spray equipment. Apply material as you would for any normal paint job. When applied by air or airless spray equipment, the recommended wet film thickness should be 2 to 4mil. When applied by a brush or roller the recommended wet film thickness will be 2 to 5mil.

Surface temperature should be below 140ºF/60ºC. Application of this product to hot surfaces (>150ºF/66ºC) is not recommended, as this will exceed the flash point of the product and increase the risk of a fire. When properly allowed to dry, the coating will not be affected by temperature extremes.

Clean-Up Instructions:
Clean up tools and other materials with a solvent. 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 solvent-based cleaner is advised. Note, these chemicals may damage underlying painted surfaces and are flammable so clean well away from open flames, sparks or other sources of ignition.
