NANOMYTE® MEND 2000-UVP

Chemical Family
Polyurethanes (PU)

NANOMYTE® MEND 2000-UVP is a solventborne, self-healing coating with UV protective properties, that heals at room temperature. The 2-part coating involves a unique phase-separated morphology that facilitates the delivery of the self-healing agent to the damage site (such as a scratch or crack) thereby restoring the coating appearance & function.

Features

Crack Resistant, Excellent Gloss Retention, Good Scratch Resistance, Good UV Protection, Outdoor Durability, Self Healing. When MEND 2000-UVP is scratched or damaged, the coating's self-healing function initiates at room temperature (≥ 25°C), and can be accelerated with the application of heat. MEND 2000-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.

Customization

Viscosity may be adjusted by diluting with MEND Reducer; contact NEI if a higher viscosity is desired.; Tints and pigments are available, contact NEI for further information.; DTT (dry-to-touch) time may be reduced with the addition of MEND catalyst. This will also reduce pot life.

Application Notes

Self-healing is initiated at room temperature (≥ 25°C) and is accelerated at higher temperatures (> 40°C).; Avoid extended exposure to temperatures in excess of 140°C.; Depending on film thickness and curing conditions, properties such as hardness and solvent resistance, may continue to develop over a period of days to weeks.

Available Quantities

NANOMYTE® MEND 2000-UVP is sold and shipped directly from NEI in liter or gallon quantities (components A & B are included with purchase). Bulk quantities and customized versions of our MEND coatings are available upon request – contact NEI for details.

Storage and Handling

Precautions for Safe; Handling 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.; Conditions for Safe Storage; PART A: Avoid contamination with incompatible materials. Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition. Residual vapors might explode on ignition. Do not apply heat, cut, drill, and grind or weld on or near this container.; PART B: Keep container tightly sealed. Store at room temperature in a dry place. Keep away from sources of ignition. Protect from cold temperatures (< 60°F). Gelation as a result of low temperature exposure may be reversed by warming to ~100°F for several hours. Purge container with dry, inert gas after use.; NOTE – Components should be stored separately until ready to use. Once mixed, coating solution should be used within the time allotted (see pot life).

Application Instructions

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
