INFRALIT PE 8431-10 is a TGIC-free powder coating based on solid polyester resin. At elevated temperature the powder will melt, cure and form the final paint film.
Suitable for product coating within the metal industry for objects that require a weather resistant coating that will not yellow on exposure to heat or ultraviolet light. Examples of use are e.g. constructions that are permanently outdoors. INFRALIT PE 8431-10 forms a mechanically and chemically resistant paint film that has good anticorrosive properties and that will retain its gloss also in outdoor conditions. When used in accordance with coating system K122 INFRALIT PE 8431-10 meets the requirements for camouflage technical properties of the Finnish Defence Force that are included in specification of requirements M 064, version 2.0.

| Safety markings | See safety data sheet. The powder itself is non-flammable, but with air it can form an explosive mixture that in presence of adequate ignition energy ignites. The lower explosion limit of typical powder coatings is between 20 g/m³ and 80 g/m³ (CEPE, Safe Powder Coating Guideline 8th Edition, 2020). Ventilation of the spray booth should be adjusted so that the concentration of powder in the air is less than 50% of the lower explosive limit value. On calculation of the powder concentration in the spray booth, the powder deposited on the workpiece is not taken into account. In order to avoid the discharge of powder from the booth into adjacent working spaces, the speed of air flow in the apertures of the booth must not fall below 0.5 m/s. Spray painters should wear dust masks and protective gloves. Any spatter of powder on the skin should be washed off with water and soap. |
