Vitroguard® METAL PAINTS SUFACES AND GLASS offer a world class portfolio of coatings for all internal and external surfaces of cars, aircraft and boats. Our coatings range from simple “wipe and go” type coatings, to our ultra-durable, military grade coatings which are designed for professional application.
All our coatings can be applied at a range of temperatures of -25°C to +80°C (*), durability ranged from 3 months to 12 months (*), have different levels of scratch resistance (*), resistant to frost and UV rays
Product description
· clear, colourless liquid based on silanes
· contains solvent (not water)

· corrosion resistant
· high impact strength
VITROGUARD METAL PAINTS SUFACES AND GLASS can be used on metals such as:
· ferrous metals
· non-ferrous metals
· galvanised metals
· varnished surfaces
· powder coated surfaces
Directions
VITROGUARD METAL PAINTS SUFACES AND GLASS is used undiluted. The amount to be applied (20-25 ml/m²) depends to a large extent on the texture of the substrates surface and the application method and should be tested in advance.
The surfaces to be treated needs to be absolutely clean, degreased, dry and free from loose particles and separating substances before treatment!
During application the outside temperature and the temperature of the substrate should be within the range of +5 °C to +35 °C. VITROGUARD PROTECTOR should not come into contact with water before or during application and should not be applied if it is raining.
VITROGUARD METAL PAINTS SUFACES AND GLASS can be applied by spraying or by hand. In order to achieve the best result we recommend the following process:
1. Cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning or any highly effective de-greasing process.
2. Application
· can be applied by hand, through polishing/wiping with a soft pad (or soft cotton cloth etc)
· or by spraying. Apply until a thin layer is visible.
Spraying parameters
Spraying with compressed air at ca. 2 bar
Blast pipe < 1 mm
Several thin layers with measured material feeding
3. Curing
The coating is surface dry after 30 minutes curing at room temperature. Complete curing will take 7 days at room temperature. Alternatively bake the coating at 200 °C for 1-2 hours.
All equipment (spraying devices, pads etc.) have to be clean and dry before use and reuse is only recommended upon careful cleaning. After use they can be cleaned with thinner and dried with a towel.
Functionality
VITROGUARD METAL PAINTS SUFACES AND GLASS reacts with the substrates surface and forms a mechanic abrasion resistant coating with very high bonding properties on metal. It generates very thin, transparent coatings with high impact strength and is resistant to alkali and corrosion.
The treatment with VITROGUARD PROTECTOR does not require a chromate conversion coating of the substrate and is further free from chrome and lead according to the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances.
To determine the exact amount to be applied it is recommended to do a small test patch first.
Product safety
Before considering the use of any chemical read its Material Safety Data Sheet thoroughly for safety and toxicological data as well as for information on proper transportation, storage and use.
Handling and storage
VITROGUARD METAL PAINTS SUFACES AND GLASS should not come in contact with moisture.
Material should be stored at temperatures < 20 °C.
VITROGUARD METAL PAINTS SUFACES AND GLASS has a shelf life of 12 months when stored in sealed original containers.
