Polymeric Silazane Finish (PSF)

P.S.F protective coatings for aircraft, marine vessels and all types of land vehicles have the following properties and economical advantages:

• Bright, water clear film with high adhesion to substrates.
• Enhances color and depth of gloss.
• Very hard, durable and abrasion resistant.
• Chemically resistant to fuels and lubricants.
• Outstanding weather resistance tested by both artificial weather machines and actual exposure. Films continue to provide protection after several years of observation.
• P.S.F has been formulated to create a nonstick surface that reduces adhesion of insects, dirt and debris.
• Greatly reduces chalking and degradation from ultraviolet light and atmospheric oxygen as well as air and rain borne pollutants.
• Prevents wear and tear on paint and expensive decals.

The Silazane resins have been used worldwide for decades to prevent adhesion in the construction of military and commercial aircraft as well as many vehicles used for the space program.

The technical staff at KADKO, INC. developed the engineering techniques for the production and utilization of these resins. After many years of additional research and development, KADKO, INC. has made them economical and easy to use for the protection of vehicles against wear and weather .

Application Instructions

Surface Preparation:
Surface should be free of dirt, wax, oils, or any other foreign material. We suggest using Simple Green or Castrol Purple Stuff to remove any wax from the surface. Apply P.S.F. only to a cool dry surface out of direct sunlight and windy conditions.

Direction for use:
Apply a liberal amount of material to a clean dry white 100% cotton cloth. Coat an area of convenient size (Approx. 2-3 sq. ft) and let material stand for 15-20 Min. Buff with a clean, dry, 100% cotton cloth to high gloss. Rewet applicator cloth every time you start a new area. Overlap slightly as each new section is done. Continue in this fashion until entire surface has been coated. We do recommend two applications to give you maximum durability, and ensure that any areas inadvertently missed are coated. The applied P.S.F. film will become chemically insoluble in twelve hours.

Caution:
Flammable Material- Keep away from sparks and flames: use in a well-ventilated area.

Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can be harmful or fatal.

Note : This product is a surface (finish) protector, if higher gloss is desired; we recommend using 3M Finesse-it Part No -05928 or similar finishing compound that does not contain wax or silicones before applying P.S.F. This will cut any oxidation if needed and maximize the surface gloss.

Hazard Codes [HAZD]
C = Carcinogen
H = Hazardous [OSHA]
A = Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act [SARA]

If a hazardous ingredient is identified as a toxic chemical via hazard code “A,” that chemical is subject to the reporting requirements of section 313 of CERCLA/SARA and of 40 CRF 372.

This product contains no chemicals subject to the reporting requirements of SARA 313 and 40 CFR 372

*Manufacturer’s Recommendation

Flash Point:                                         107° F / TCC Method

Upper/ Lower Explosion Limit:            Not Available

Extinguishing Media:                           Foam or dry chemical.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures:      Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should be worn. Water spray may be used to disperse vapors and to keep containers exposed to fire cool.

Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards:       Containers exposed to fire may develop a buildup of interior vapor pressure resulting in container rupture. Vapors are heavier than air and may accumulate in low areas. Water spray may be used to disperse vapors and to keep containers exposed to fire cool.

NFPA [National Fire Protection Association] Ratings:

Stability:                                  Stable

Decomposition Products:       Combustion may yield carbon dioxide/monoxide, fumes, smoke.

Hazardous Polymerization:     Will not occur.

Incompatibility:                        Oxidizing Agents may cause a reaction

Conditions to Avoid:                All sources of ignition such as heat, flames, spark. High temperatures

Probable Routes of Entry:      Skin, Inhalation, Eyes

Potential Health Effects:

Effects of Overexposure:       Anesthesia, nausea, headache, dizziness. Exposure to very high concentrations may cause sensitization of the myocardium and may aggravate impaired cardiovascular functions. Excessive exposure may damage kidneys and liver.

Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling this product may be harmful or fatal.

Inhalation:        Remove to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek immediate medical attention. If not breathing immediately begin artificial respiration.

Eye Contact:   Flush with plenty of water. If irritation or redness persists seek medical attention.

Skin Contact:  Remove contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation or redness develops, seek medical attention.

Ingestion:         DO NOT induce vomiting due to danger of aspiration. Seek immediate medical attention.

Ventilation:                              Ensure adequate ventilation.

Respiratory Protection:           If ventilation is inadequate use a NIOSH approved respirator

Eye/Face Protection:              Safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles are recommended.

Skin Protection:                      If necessary, use impervious clothing/equipment to avoid prolonged skin contact.

Hygienic Practices:                 Avoid prolonged contact with skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Storage:          Store container away from heat, sparks, flames, and any other source of ignition. Keep container closed tightly to avoid hydrolysis of product by moisture. Storage should be in compliance with NFTA and OSHA 29CRF1910.106 and 29CRF1910.107

Handling:         Keep away from heat, sparks, flames, and any other source of ignition. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.

Precautions:                Flammable material. For large spills, remove all sources of ignition. Vapors are heavier than air and may collect in low areas. Maintain good ventilation at all times. Use precaution and a NIOSH approved respirator if necessary. Do not allow material to contaminate groundwater.

Clean up Method:       Soak up spill with inert absorbent material such as sand, sawdust, chemical binder or similar. Sweep up and dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations.
