NEI NANOMYTE - Model MEND 1000-UVP -Self-Heating Coatings
NANOMYTE MEND 1000-UVP is a thermally-induced, self-healing coating with UV protective properties. When scratched or damaged, the 2-part coating’s self-healing function is activated upon application of a small amount of heat, such as from hot water or a hair dryer, to restore the surface back to its original appearance. MEND 1000-UVP is enhanced with NEI’s UV-Protect (UVP) technology, which blocks UV radiation and protects coated surfaces from the harmful effects of sun and weather exposure. The addition of UVP helps maintain the unique properties of the coating when subjected to long-term outdoor exposure, while preserving the underlying material’s strength, coating adhesion, and appearance.
- Combine 1 part (by weight) of Part A with 1 part of Part B (both components are included with purchase)
- Mix thoroughly until homogeneous and apply promptly (preferably within 2 hours)
- Once applied, transfer coated part to preheated oven within 5 minutes
- Recommended curing schedule: 80°C for 15 minutes, followed by 120°C for 1 hour
Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used at all times. Provide good ventilation or extraction. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition.
