Polybond Avigel

When no longer required, the coating can be stripped as continuous film.

Avigel strippable coating is permanently thermoplastic, non flammable and does not age, discolour or oxidise. It is waterproof and also resistant to attack by a very wide range of acids, alkalis and many industrial solvents.

Polybond Avigel may be applied to metal of all kinds - ferrous, non ferrous or precious to glass and most other kinds of smooth surface. It should, however, not be applied to painted, enamelled or lacquered surfaces, as the solvents used in them may attack such surfaces.

Applications:

• Protection of metal parts and machined components
• Protection of plated goods
• Masking medium for plating baths
• Protection of stainless steel surfaces
• Protection of refrigerator parts and outer cases
• Protection of sheet metal during punching, stamping and assembly
• Protection of glass, mirrors etc
• Protection of porcelain and glazed earthenware during transport
• Protection of aircraft, motor vehicle and electrical parts

Polybond Avigel is extensively used in the assembly and maintenance of aircraft for the protection of the polished metal comprising the fuselage. Alternatively, it is applied after the components have been made, for protection during transport. The Avigel is applied to the surface of parts to be protected before fabrication has begun and the coatings are left on during all the stamping, forming, drawing and assembly operations. The coating prevents damage or scratching to the surface and at the desired stage can be removed by peeling off in continuous films leaving smooth, grease-free surfaces.
