FINECOAT - PU 500
(POLYURETHANE INSULATING VARNISH)
PRODUCT
APPLICATION
FINECOAT-PU 500 is a long-life lacquer, for steel subjected to severely corrosive, marine
and industrial environment. This is an excellent coating for painting of structural steel, tank
exteriors, railings, cranes, steel decking, piping, transmission towers, off-shore platforms,
bridges, ship hulls and all other ship-structures.
This is also used in coating the edges of transformer and motor cores to eliminate vibration
and chattering of electrical stamping sheets, especially in traction transformers. This has
excellent resistance to transformer oil.
APPLICABLE STANDARDS
FINECOAT-PU500 can be used as the first coat in systems complying with BS:5493 for
obtaining 5 - 10 years of corrosion protection in exterior exposed polluted coastal
atmosphere.
