Enevex® ym’P Marine Metal Protection

enevex® ym’P Marine Metal Protection

enevex® ym’P Marine Metal Protection is the latest high-quality product for various surfaces on watercraft. Due to its low material consumption, enevex® ym’P Yacht Metal Protection is particularly suitable for large surface applications. It effectively protects against damage caused by resins, salts, acids, weather conditions, and mechanical impacts. Additionally, it is highly heat-resistant up to a maximum of +1800°C, ensuring that the fire properties of the surface remain unchanged. enevex® ym’P Marine Metal Protection also possesses “self-healing” properties. During development, we prioritize optimal compatibility with human health and the environment. Application Areas: For all clean and untreated metal surfaces on vessels such as sports boats, yachts and sailboats.

Properties:

• UV resistant and environmentally-stable
• Saltwater-proof
• Anti-graffiti effect and protection against almost all acids, bases, and organic solvents
• Metal Protection is strong, hard and extremely heat-resistant up to +1800 °C.
• Resistant to chemicals (pH 2-13)
• Increases hardness and scratch resistance
• Non-flammable and non-corrosive
• Increases hardness and scratch resistance, with very high abrasion resistance
• Provides corrosion protection
• Easy-to-clean

 Application:

• The area to be treated must be clean, dry and free of grease. To do so, use 99 % n-butyl acetate in the first pass and then neutralize the surface with enevex Pre-Cleaner
• Place the application cloth over the applicator.
• Apply 12-18 drops of enevex® ym’P onto the application cloth and spread it evenly over the surface.
• Let the product evaporate for 1-2 minutes.
• Remove any excess using the enevex® CT23 Ceramic Towel.
• The product can also be optimally applied using fine spray application. On rough and absorbent surfaces, it can be applied by spraying or rolling.
• The product is dust-dry after 120 minutes.
• Important: Do not apply directly under sunlight. Protect the product from direct sunlight and frost.
• Once cured, the coating is resistant to acids, alkalis, and solvents with a pH value between 2 and 13.
• Recoating with Metal Protection: possible after 20 minutes. Wait no longer than 35 minutes.

 Important:

• Gelcoat moisture: 20 to 30 % (over 30 % moisture should not be coated)
• Gelcoats must be treated with 2 to 3 layers to achieve permanent protection
• Air humidity should be between 30 and 70 % – below 30 %, it does not dry and above 70 % it dries too quickly
• After application, protect the surface from dirt and moisture for at least 18 hours.
• Full curing time at room temperature: approximately 6-8 days.
• Separate drying can reduce the curing time by 2-3 days.
• During curing, the surface must not be subjected to friction.
• Lifetime approx. 3 – 10 YEARS: The lifetime is 3 to 10 years, always according to the substrate, surface stress and film thickness.

 Technical explanations: Metal Protection is the following properties with a film thickness of 3 to 5 micrometers. (film thickness depends on the application procedure): Water-repellency of clean, empty, polished or painted surfaces. (The surface must be free of silicone and grease. Suitable cleaning agents are enevex AT10 & Pre-Clean). Optimizing of the coated substrate’s surface hardness. The coating has “self-healing” effects due to the unique manufacturing formulation (organic/inorganic components). No other coating system has these thermoelastic flow properties. Even parts exposed to a continuous stress of up to 1090 °C can be successfully sealed thanks to the high proportion of inorganic matter (standard formulation).
