MT-1024-1 is a butyl rubber compound containing parachlorobenzotriflouride.                                                                                                                                                  

MT-1024-1 is suitable for use in the following:                          

Electroless Nickel Plating      Chemical Milling                             

APPLICATION PROCEDURE 

1.      Before applying MT-1024-1, make sure the metal part is clean and free from grease, dirt and the like. The adhesion of MT-1024-1 could be compromised if the part is not clean prior to applying MT-1024-1. 

2.      Stir MT-1024-1 prior to use. It is common for some settling to occur and this is normal. Stir only enough to bring the mixture to a homogenous mixture. Over-mixing can incorporate air into the product. 

3.      Apply MT-1024-1 to the area to be masked by brushing or dipping. Use a natural brush to apply MT-1024-1. If MT-1024-1 becomes to thick, use parachlorobenzotriflouride to bring the product to the desired consistency.  

4.      MT-1024-1 can be sprayed with proper dilution. Consult directions on spray equipment to determine proper viscosity for spraying. 

5.      As a general rule, two coats of MT-1024-1 are needed to achieve desired results. Depending upon the application, temperature of the solution, length of time in the solution, ph of the solution and other factors, it may be necessary to apply three coats to achieve desired results. Apply coats perpendicular if possible to cover the area to be masked more thoroughly. 

6.      Allow at least thirty minutes dry time between coats. Make sure that MT-1024-1 has lost all solvent odor before applying additional coats. An overnight air dry is recommended before immersing a part masked with MT-1024-1 into a solution. Faster drying can be accomplished by force drying the masked part over a hot plate or in a forced air oven. Do not exceed 140 degrees F for forced drying and no longer than fifteen minutes. Make sure MT-1024-1 has lost all solvent odor before placing part over a hot plate or in a forced air oven. 

7.      After the first coat dries, carefully trim any excess MT-1024-1 material with a sharp knife making sure not to lift the material from the desired edge. If some lifting should occur, use a small camel hair brush and carefully apply a small amount of MT-1024-1 to the area to seal it. If additional coats are applied, paint or dip to the cut edge. Allow material to dry thoroughly before placing part in solution. 

8.      MT-1024-1 is suitable for use in normal alkaline cleaning operations including reverse electro clean operations. However, do not leave part in this alkaline solution for extended periods of time. As a general rule, two minutes or less in an alkaline solution will not cause degradation of the material. 

9.      MT-1024-1 can normally be peeled from the part if the part is warm. If the part is cold, soak briefly in warm water for removal of the maskant. For removal in small or recessed areas, MT-1024-1. Reducer will remove the maskant. Toluene will also remove the maskant and the maskant can be burned from the part. Consult state and federal regulations before burning material from part as smoke will be released.

CAUTION

MT-1024-1 CONTAINS VOLATILE SOLVENTS. ALWAYS WORK IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA AND WEAR APPROPRIATE GLOVES, EYE PROTECTION AND BREATHING EQUIPMENT. KEEP MT-1024-1 AWAY FROM OPEN FLAMES AND STORE IN TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 50 DEGREES F AND 100 DEGREES F. KEEP ALL CONTAINERS CLOSED WHEN NOT IN USE. OBSERVE ALL EPA, OSHA AND ALL OTHER FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATIONS.
