Fluiglide’s sole purpose is to reduce fluid friction, increasing flow in the boundary layer, thus reducing power requirements and giving better efficiency. This applies both for the reduction of losses in transmitting fluids through pipe work and channels, and increasing the efficiency of fluid prime movers.Fluiglide is a surface veil coating system for application over the top of a pre-prepared surface. The adhesion and corrosion resistant properties of Fluiglide on its own are relatively poor and it should, therefore, only be used on top of the specified undercoating systems

Must not be used direct on to substrate. Product will withstand a high degree of erosion due to fluid velocity, but will withstand only a small amount of abrasion due to particulate solids. Where abrasion is present, Fluiglide ‘E’ may be considered suitable. Limiting temperature is 194°F (90°C) but may be lower in certain chemicals.The chemical resistance of Fluiglide is extremely good. However, under certain conditions the smooth finish may be affected, reducing the benefits obtained

Safety precautions should be taken when handling this material. Read Safety Data Sheet before use.Avoid contact with skin or eyes; do not ingest; wear suitable protective clothing; ensure adequate ventilation.

Brush for equipment. Pipe rolling or centrifuging equipment, Rawlmaster, Von Arx etc., for pipe work up to 1m diameter. Conventional spray with pressure pot and 25 through tip. NOTE:A special grade of Fluiglide PG is required for pipe rolling and centrifuging, and inhibitor is required for spray application

Fluiglide should be applied over the specified system which has cured for less than 24 hours at 68°F (20°C) or 18 hours at 86°F (30°C). The relative humidity duringapplication and initial cure should be below 90% and minimum application temperature is 50°F (10°C). Surface temperatures should be at least 41°F (5°C) above dew point.Where brush application is carried out, 2 coats of Fluiglide should always be applied, each coat being applied to a thickness of between 10-20 mils (250-500 microns). Over-coating of the first coat of Fluiglide should be carried out not sooner than 6 hours and not later than 24 hours at 68°F (20°C). Times should be adjusted for temperature variation. Flood coating techniques can be carried out to pipe work below 100mm diameter. The minimum total dft of the whole system, including undercoats, should not beless than 32 mils (800 microns). Single coat applications over undercoat systems are permissible where application method permits.Over-thickness of Fluiglide is unimportant in respect of the coating cure system etc. However, it should be kept in mind that reducing the cross-sectional area with Fluiglide in impeller volutes will increase efficiency while lowering total volume output available. Careful consideration should therefore be given to flow requirements and efficiency increases obtainedagainst volume output lost, both to pump passageways and pipe work below 75mm diameter.Pipe work will usually benefit over all by an application of Fluiglide, provided the system thickness is not over 1mm on pipes between 75 to 200mm and not over 1.5mm on pipes over 200mm.Where Fluiglide is to be used for a potable water environment, 7 days at a minimum of 45°F (7°C) should be allowed before putting the system into service. A minimum of 48 hours should be used for other environments.
