SAFETY AND HANDLING
For industrial use only by professional, trained painters. Not for sale to or use by the general
public. Before using, read and follow all label and MSDS precautions. If mixed with other
components, mixture will have hazards of all components.
Ready to use paint materials containing isocyanates can cause irritation of the respiratory
organs and hypersensitive reactions. Asthma sufferers, those with allergies and anyone with
a history of respiratory complaints must not be asked to work with products containing
isocyanates.
Do not sand, flame cut, braze or weld dry coating without a NIOSH approved air purifying
respirator with particulate filters or appropriate ventilation, and gloves.

DO NOT THIN. Incorrect thinning will affect film build, dry time and product performance.

APPLICATION
SURFACE PREPARATION
The maximum performance of Tufcote UC-1000 can be achieved only when the metal
surfaces to be protected are clean, dry, and free of rust, oil, and mill scale.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
Do not apply if material, substrate or ambient temperature is less than 50°F (10°C) or above
95°F (35°C) at the time of product application.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
Airless spray
Dip

Transportation
Technical Data Sheet
TUFCOTE™ UC-1000™

APPLICATION
Tufcote UC-1000 is formulated to be used as supplied.
Ensure uniform consistency prior to use. Continued stirring is generally not required.
If the product thickens due to cold storage or loss of water and coalescing solvent during
use, contact an Axalta representative.
DO NOT THIN. Incorrect thinning will affect film build, dry time and product performance.
Recommended ambient and product temperature should be 50 - 95ºF (10 - 35ºC) at time of
application.
Product can be airless spray or dip applied.
RE-COAT
Tufcote UC-1000 may be recoated with most urethane, acrylic or alkyd resin formulated
transportation topcoats.
REMOVAL
The dry film is not normally intended for removal. The product can be repainted after the film
is cured. Citrus or alkaline cleaner will remove fresh residue accumulated on application
equipment. If removability is a factor, contact an Axalta representative.
CLEAN UP SOLVENTS
Citrus or alkaline cleaner

DRY TIMES
Approximate Dry Time At Recommended Thickness @ 77°F (25°C)
Air dry 30 – 60 minutes
Cure Time 72 hours
Adequate ventilation is required for cure and to ensure against formation of a combustible
liquid atmosphere.
THE PARTIALLY CURED FILM SHOULD NOT BE EXPOSED TO IGNITION SOURCES
SUCH AS FLARES, FLAMES, SPARKS, EXCESSIVE HEAT, OR TORCHES.
Refer to product Material Safety Data Sheet for additional handling and first aid
information.
