How to Install Sic Tac Coating the Right Way

1. Correct Installation Methods of Sic Tac Coating

1.1 Preparation Work Before Installation

• Substrate Treatment: First, thoroughly clean the surface of the substrate to be coated with Sic Tac Coating to remove oil stains, rust, dust, impurities, and old coatings. Methods such as sandpaper grinding, chemical cleaning, or sandblasting can be used to make the substrate surface reach a certain roughness (usually recommended to be between Ra 1.6 – 3.2μm) to enhance the adhesion between the coating and the substrate.
• Inspection of Equipment and Materials: Check whether the Sic Tac Coating materials used are within the shelf life and meet the construction requirements; at the same time, inspect the construction equipment, such as spraying equipment and heating equipment, to ensure that the equipment operates normally and various parameters can meet the construction process standards.
• Environmental Preparation: Choose a suitable construction environment, which requires cleanliness and dryness, with the temperature controlled between 15 – 35°C and the relative humidity not exceeding 70%. Avoid construction in environments with dust, corrosive gases, or poor ventilation. If necessary, set up a temporary construction protective shed.

1.2 Specific Installation Steps

• Preparation of Coating Materials: If Sic Tac Coating is a two-component or multi-component material, it must be accurately mixed in proportion according to the product instructions. Use an electric stirrer to fully stir evenly to ensure that all components are mixed uniformly, and the stirring time is generally 5 – 10 minutes. The prepared coating should be used up within the specified activation period to avoid affecting the coating performance due to prolonged placement.
• Coating Construction: According to the shape, size of the substrate and construction requirements, select an appropriate coating method, such as spraying, brushing, or dipping. Taking spraying as an example, use special spraying equipment, keep the nozzle at an appropriate distance from the substrate surface (usually 15 – 30cm), and evenly spray the first coat, with the thickness controlled within the specified range (generally 50 – 100μm). During the spraying process, keep moving at a constant speed to avoid phenomena such as missing spraying, sagging, or excessive coating thickness.
• Curing Treatment: After the first coat of spraying is completed, perform preliminary curing according to the product instructions (such as air-drying at room temperature or low-temperature baking). After the coating is surface-dried, apply the second coat (if multiple coats are needed). After all coating is completed, carry out the final curing treatment. Depending on the type of coating, the curing method may be high-temperature baking (the temperature is usually between 200 – 500°C, and the specific temperature and time refer to the product instructions) or natural curing to ensure that the coating is completely cured and forms a stable structure.
• Quality Inspection: After curing, conduct a quality inspection on the coating. Check whether the coating surface is flat and smooth, and whether there are defects such as bubbles, pinholes, cracks, or peeling; use a coating thickness gauge to check whether the coating thickness is uniform and meets the design requirements; check whether the adhesion between the coating and the substrate meets the standards through adhesion tests (such as cross-cut method, pull-off method). If problems are found, timely repair or re-coating is required.

2. Correct Usage Methods of Sic Tac Coating

2.1 Inspection Before Use

Before using equipment or components coated with Sic Tac Coating, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the coating to confirm that there is no damage such as breakage, peeling, or scratches, and ensure that the coating is in good condition. At the same time, check whether other relevant parts of the equipment or components are normal to avoid affecting the use effect of the coating due to failures of other parts.

2.2 Precautions During Use

• Avoid Exceeding the Usage Range: According to the performance parameters of Sic Tac Coating, strictly control the temperature, pressure, chemical medium and other conditions of its use environment. Avoid using it in an environment beyond its tolerance range, such as not using it in a scene where the temperature exceeds the maximum tolerance temperature specified for the product, to prevent coating failure.
• Prevent Mechanical Damage: During use, avoid violent collision, friction, or scratch between the surface coated with Sic Tac Coating and hard objects to prevent damage to the coating. If it is necessary to transport or install related equipment, appropriate protective measures should be taken, such as wrapping the coating surface with soft padding.
• Proper Operation of Equipment: Correctly use equipment coated with Sic Tac Coating in accordance with the equipment’s operating procedures to avoid additional stress or damage to the coating due to improper operation. For example, when starting the equipment, the temperature or pressure should be increased slowly to avoid impact on the coating caused by sudden changes in temperature or pressure.

2.3 Maintenance After Use

After use, promptly clean the surface coated with Sic Tac Coating to remove stains, impurities, etc. on the surface. Use neutral cleaning agents and soft rags for cleaning, and avoid using highly corrosive cleaning agents or hard brushes to prevent damage to the coating. At the same time, place the equipment or components in a dry and ventilated environment for storage, and avoid long-term exposure to humid and corrosive environments.

Through the above correct installation and usage methods, the excellent performance of Sic Tac Coating can be fully exerted, its service life can be extended, and it can operate stably and reliably in various application scenarios.
