BondArc wire is self bonding to a broad range of smooth metal surfaces including annealed or hardened carbon steels, annealed or hardened alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum, nickel, cast iron, titanium and tantalum. It is not self-bonding to copper based alloys or tungsten. Mismachined or worn parts may be rebuilt with BondArc 75B and re-machined with cemented carbide tool bits or various grinding processes. BondArc 75B meets the following specifications: PWA-36937 (PWA 271-37 Rev D, PWA 53-37), GE Manual operation number 70-49-38 as an alternate to 70-49-10, Avco M3951B, Rolls Royce OMAT #3/229, SNECMA DMR33-011, Allied Signal FP5045 and BF Goodrich Service Letter 1623. Coatings to a maximum thickness .250” have been achieved by continuous spraying. Thus, in some cases, BondArc can be used as a one-coat system.

Praxair/Tafa Arc Spray Pure Tin Alloy Wire – 02W

Made exclusively for arc spraying, pure tin is a low melt material with excellent solderability, conductivity and corrosion resistance. Arc spray tin wire meets Department of Defense Specification MIL-W-6712C, Table II, Tin. This wire is commonly used in electrical applications to produce solderable coatings for electrical connections and as a very effective EMI/RFI shield. It is also extremely corrosion resistant to a variety of chemicals and solvents and may be used as a tank liner in some applications.

Praxair/Tafa Arc Spray Aluminum Wire – 01T

Made exclusively for arc spraying, 01T Aluminum is highly resistant to atmospheric corrosion. The coating acts as a galvanic corrosion inhibitor and also forms an oxide film producing a protective coating, thus, is recommended under a variety of environmental conditions and is used exclusively on submerged water applications. For long-term anti-corrosive applications, aluminum should be covered with a protective 5-8 mil layer of a suitable sealer, in all but mild rural applications. Aluminum 01T is used by Matrix Coatings for all MIL-STD-2138A (SH), Metal Sprayed Coatings for Corrosion Protection Aboard Naval Ships arc spray program requirements. Arc spray Aluminum 01T wire meets the following specifications: Department of Defense MIL-W-6712C Table II, Aluminum, PWA 1320F and SNECMA DMR33-012, Garrett FP5045, and GE CF6 Overhaul Manual operation number 70-49-40 as a substitute for 70-49-01.

Praxair/Tafa Arc Spray Zinc – 02Z

Made exclusively for arc spraying, zinc 02Z is primarily designed for use as an EMI/RFI shield, capacitor end spraying and protective anti-corrosion coating for general oxidation resistance. Arc spray 02Z is 99.99% pure, and is not contaminated in the arc spray process. Zinc 02Z wire meets the Department of Defense Specification MIL-W-6712C, Table II, Zinc. Traditional applications of zinc have been primarily for corrosion protection, both in the atmosphere and in the marine environment. For long-term anti-corrosive

• CORROSION RESISTANT COATINGS

Dykor®

This is a specialty line of Whitford dispersion coatings containing (PVDF). Because Dykor is unaffected by most chemicals and solvents, it is typically used to protect metals from harsh environments. This system is comprised of a primer, midcoat and topcoat and is used to line chemical process and storage vessels. Dykor has been the engineering polymer of choice for severe chemical applications for nearly three decades. Dykor forms a tough, abrasion resistant barrier, which if employed as recommended, will protect equipment for many years.

Halar®

Manufactured from ECTFE, is a melt processable flouropolymer. Because of its chemical structure, a 1:1 alternating copolymer of ethylene and chlorotriflouroethylene, Halar offers a unique combination of properties especially as a coating and a liner. Halar flouropolymer coatings provide outstanding chemical resistance, good electrical properties, a broad-use temperature range from cryogenic to 300 ° F (150 ° C), and meet the requirements of UL-94 V-O vertical flame test in thicknesses as low as .007 (7mils). Halar is resistant to strong mineral and oxidizing acids, alkalies, metal etchants, liquid oxygen, and essentially all organic solvents except hot amines.

Ryton™

The Chemical name for this material is Polyphenylene Sulfide. This material is practically unaffected by many organic chemicals, even under conditions that will dissolve or destroy other plastics. There is no organic solvent known that will dissolve PPS at temperatures below 392 ° F (200 ° C), but some classes of organic chemicals have shown a tendency to permeate the PPS polymer matrix (especially at elevated temperatures) causing some plasticizing, swelling and a weakening of the plastic compound. These chemicals include amines (organic compounds containing unoxidized nitrogen), aromatic hydrocarbons and halogenated organic compounds. This material is unaffected by most water-based solutions of acids, bases or neutral salts. The primary exceptions are strong oxidizing acids, such as nitric acid, hydrochloric acid or peroxy acids. Relatively non-oxidizing acids, such as sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid have little effect on PPS except under extreme conditions, such as high temperature and high concentrations. For additional information regarding the effects of Strong Acids, Strong Bases, Organic Chemicals or any other compatibility issues please visit the Ryton compatibility chart @: http://WWW.aboutchevronphillipschemicalcompany.com/rytonpps.
