NANOMYTE® SuperAi-UVP
NANOMYTE® SuperAi-UVP is a nanocomposite coating with enhanced weatherability that imparts anti-icing and UV-protective properties to the underlying substrate. The transparent coating also provides a hard, dense and smooth finish. Surfaces treated with SuperAi-UVP are protected from the effects of UV radiation and exhibit reduced ice adhesion, thereby preventing ice buildup. The single component, ambient-cure coating can be applied to a variety of substrates, including plastics, metals, glass, and ceramics.

- Curing
- Ambient Curing
- Under ambient conditions (25°C / 77°F, 50% RH), a single coat will be dry to the touch in 1 hour and completely cured in 24 hours.
- Accelerated Curing
- In order to accelerate curing, let the coated surface dry in ambient air for 10 minutes and then heat to at least 105°C for a minimum of 5 minutes, preferably ~15 minutes. An oven, blow dryer, or heat gun may be used (maximum temperature is 150°C).

- Application Notes
- Test Area
- Given the wide variety of metals and the various methods and environments of application, it is advisable to first apply SuperAi-UVP to a test piece or in an inconspicuous area to evaluate the resulting adhesion and appearance. There will often be some enhancement in luster (gloss) from the original surface. SuperAi-UVP is a translucent coating which may impart a hazy appearance, particularly at high thicknesses.
- Clean Up
- Clean tools and flush equipment immediately after application is completed with acetone thoroughly before product dries. Once coating is dry, the tools will not clean with acetone or any other solvent.
- Weatherability and UV Protection
- For best performance, when applying to UV-sensitive surfaces (e.g., plastics, composites), apply as thick a coating as possible, and/or ensure a minimum DFT of 0.5 mils (10-15 microns). Select the appropriate surface preparation protocol (cleaning and/or surface treatment, priming) and test to ensure coating adhesion has been maximized. Some surfaces (e.g., certain paints, plastics and composites) may require a primer, such as NANOMYTE® SR-Primer. Samples intended for weatherability testing should be conditioned for a minimum of 1 week at 25°C with at least 50% relative humidity.
