DESCRIPTION
Based on sol-gel nanotechnology, the nC® ProTherm Safe Touch coating system is designed for Safe Touch and corrosion passivation. nC® ProTherm Safe Touch has a long lasting lifetime cycle of more than 20 years outdoors, and life-long expectancy indoors.
Because of the ability to reach a high temperature decrease (Delta-T) with a very thin layer of coating, nC® ProTherm Safe Touch offers space saving and cost reducing protection at a high degree of safety and quality. nC® ProTherm Safe Touch is hydrophobic and chemical resistant.
It provides Safe Touch surfaces and is capable of reducing surface temperatures of, for instance, steampipes from 160°C down to 40°C with a 4mm coating. In order to prevent corrosion, the nC® ProTherm Safe Touch coating is equipped with a corrosion passivating primer. The primer is based on surface bonding nanotechnology (sol-gel) and corrosion inhibiting particles that bond into the metal surface of the treated equipment. The system will prevent metals from corroding. It will stop already present corrosion.
nC® ProTherm Safe Touch is applied by brush, roller, knife or spraygun. It can be applied in one layer, between 3mm up to 8 mm and is fast drying. nC® ProTherm Safe Touch is available in all colours.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- Use safety glasses. Protect hands and skin from exposure using gloves and appropriate clothing.
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Substrate must be free from grease, dirt or dust.
- Ambient temperature must be between 4° C and 35° C.
- Do not apply when ambient humidity exceeds 90%.
- Mix dry component A 12% weight to resin component B 88% weight. Use (industrial) mixer.
- Mix for at least 3 minutes.
- Do NOT use any thinner.
- Use knife or airgun/spraygun for application.
- Film thicknesses can be varied from between 3mm to 8mm WFT.
- DFT >3mm, <6mm for Safe Touch purposes.
- DFT >5mm, < 19mm for thermal insulation purposes.
- Cross layer-application is recommended, wet-in-wet.
- Measure WFT during application. Product expands up from between 5% to 15% during application.
- nC® ProTherm Safe Touch will decrease 10% in thickness during curing time.
Table for curing times, at ambient temperature of 20° C and 60% humidity:
| Surface | Curing time |
| All metals, indoor | 12 hrs |
| All metals, outdoor | 24 hrs / 48 hrs, depending on temperature and humidity |
| Product can be exposed to full rain after 12 hours. Full cure after 7 days | |
- Let surface dry in for at least 6 hours before forced drying by means of blower or heater at 55° C max.
- Surface can be painted over.
- Clean knifes, nozzles with water immediately after any stop.
- Wash hands and face after every stop.
LIMITATIONS
- Do not use as a final floor covering.
- Do not use under water.
- Do not allow application during freezing temperatures.
- Do not rely on visual measurement for coating thickness. Always use a wet film thickness (WFT) and/or dry film thickness (DFT) gauge in several areas to ensure proper application thickness.
