nycote-99

Nycote 99 EcoShield is our newest formulation based off Nycote 7-11. 99EcoShield is a highly crosslinked multipolymer nylon epoxy coating. Trusted since the 1960’s by all major OEM’s to provide an excellent permanent barrier from harsh environments. The Nycote formulation is chosen over other coating technologies because of its unique ability to cure pinhole-free and self-level. The process allows for complete encapsulation of the part and will protect for years due to the strength of the epoxy and flexibility of the nylon polymer.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

clean

Carefully clean the surface of oils, grease and dust by using Nycote® Thinner Type I followed by NycleanTM for maximum Nycote®adhesion.

Shake

Shake container before using.

Apply

Apply Nycote® resin by brush, dip, fill and drain, or spraying techniques.

Wait

Allow one to two hours to achieve tack free surface before applying second coat.

Spray

When spraying we recommend using Nycote® Thinner Type II at a 25% to 50% volume ratio in order to reduce cobwebbing. Use low air pressure 10-20 p.s.i.

Dry

Allow wetted surface to air dry in dust and lint free area.

Wait

Follow cure timetable for full cure of film.

Clean

Cleanse equipment with Nycote® Thinner Type I.

STORAGE TEMPERATURE
REQUIREMENTS

VIEW MORE
  • Store at 70°F (21°C). Keep away from fire or flame.
  • Note: Ideal storage temperature is 70°F (21°C); acceptable storage range is between 65°F to 80°F (18.3°C to 26.7°C). Storing below 65°F (18.3°C) may cause cloudiness or gel; heat at 180°F (82°C) for two hours. This should restore the product to its normal liquid condition. If possible, re-verify viscosity with Zahn #2 cup (50-90 seconds).
  • Nycote® 99 has an eight-month shelf life. The container can be opened, applied and then re-sealed for a period of eight months. The storage temperature should be maintained for the entire shelf life period. The container must always be stored in an upright position. If the storage temperature is not the ideal, nor within the acceptable range, the result may change the nature of the Nycote® product, as well as, causing cloudiness of the liquid. At all times, the product should be kept from freezing.
