New way to protect your metal product... a temporary but tough coat of Geon
Panels for this building were coated and fabricated by Elwin G. Smith Company, Pittsburgh, using "Strip-Gard" strippable vinyl coating made with Geon vinyl by Stoner-Mudge Company, Pittsburgh, a Division of American-Marietta Company. It can be applied by all standard methods including brush, reverse roll, spray, dip, flow and conventional roll coating. B.F.Goodrich Chemical Company supplies the Geon vinyl.
Here's a temporary coating that goes on metal fast, strips off easily. Meanwhile, it gives polished, embossed or coated metals protection during fabrication, storage and shipping. It's an organosol based on Geon vinyl. Since the coating stretches well and is very flexible, you can corrugate, emboss, roll-form or draw metals coated with it without affecting the coating. In some cases, it eliminates the need for lubrication. Wear on expensive plated or polished dies is significantly reduced. And there's no need for final cleanup after fabrication or assembly. Because it's made of Geon, the coating protects metals
from the effects of oil, grease and from discoloration or etching of corrosive chemicals. It provides excellent resistance to scratching or abrasion. The manufacturer says it's not designed to protect against weathering, but it will—tests show no staining or embrittle ment outdoors for periods up to six months. And the desirable stripping qualities are not impaired. Here's another way that Geon vinyl is opening new markets, making possible new or improved products. Want more information?
