FPU® “Anti-Graffi ti” Fluorinated Polyurethane 51PC101™
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
51PC101TM is a high-performance, highly fl uorinated polyurethane top coat formulated for thin fi lm
applications, offering general ease of handling and application. It is a two-component, solvent
based, high solids enamel system which exhibits outstanding performance properties, compared to
higher build, multi-coat premium systems.
The patented “fl uoroshield” protection of 51PC101TM makes it virtually impervious to moisture and
oxygen permeation. 51PC101TM exhibits unsurpassed performance for all physical properties as
well as resistance to chemicals, weathering and uv degradation. 51PC101TM contains a special
“anti-graffi ti” feature making it resistant to graffi ti attack.
CHARACTERISTICS
A high performance, inert topcoat system designed to overcoat virtually any surface and make it resistant to corrosion, UV
breakdown, abrasion, graffi ti and chemical attack. FPU® coatings exhibit outstanding weathering characteristics. Developed
over two decades of research and development, FPU® has a proven service history.
51PC101TM is ideal for limited immersion service on marine, aerospace, architectural, industrial and automotive equipment,
ferrous and non-ferrous metals, masonry, timber, fi berglass and carbon fi ber. It provides a high quality fi nish, and offers
exceptional all round performance with an expected life span exceeding 20 years.
􀀻 Outstanding Hydrophobic and Oleophobic surface properties
􀀻 Impervious to moisture and oxygen permeation (Osmotic barrier)
􀀻 Highly fl exible and outstanding impact and abrasion resistance
􀀻 Low surface energy which resists soiling and marking
􀀻 Highly resistant to attack by hydrocarbons and chemical products
􀀻 Completely insensitive to UV radiation
􀀻 Highly resistant to graffi ti attack from spray paint and marker
Application
For optimum appearance properties, 51PC101™ should be spray applied in two to three coats to a minimum of 2 mils DFT / 50
microns DFT. Always allow each coat to “fl ash off” to a tacked state prior to a following coat.
51PC101™ may also be spray applied, brushed or rolled in one coat, unreduced to the recommended DFT.
FPU® coatings must not be applied to surfaces at ambient temperatures above 350C / 950F. For optimum application
properties, the temperature of the material should be between 100C and 250C / 500F and 800F prior to mixing and application.
Apply the coating only when the surface temperature is more than 50F or 30C above the dew point temperature of the
surrounding air and relative humidity is below 85%, in order to prevent moisture condensation on the surface.
Mixing & Activation
Mixing ratio 2:1 by volume (2 parts base to 1 part activator)
Activator: 51AC100
Reduction: 00TR102 - Slow reducer
00TR100 - Fast reducer
Spray Viscosity: 21-25 seconds #2 Zahn
51PC101 is a two component coating system supplied in two separate containers. Part A is the base and Part B is the
activator. Prior to activation, Base component (Part A) must be thoroughly mixed by mechanical agitation. Following agitation,
with a paint stick, ensure all settled material is removed from the can bottom. After activation of Component A and Component
B together, agitate for approximately 1-2 minutes. Reduce activated 51PC101 to a maximum of 15% if required with
recommended reducer and use immediately. 51PC101 requires no induction period.

Surface Preparation
Suitable substrates for 51PC101TM include ferrous metal, galvanized metal, aluminum, fi berglass, carbon fi ber, concrete and
wood. Good surface preparation and cleaning of all substrates to be coated is essential for optimum performance of the
coating system. All surfaces to be coated should be clean, dry and free from contaminants. For old or previously fi nished
sur fac es, the degree of preparation and cleaning required, is dependent upon the condition of the substrate.
Consult your 21st Century Coatings (Canada) Ltd. representative for recommended surface preparation procedures for your
specifi c project.

Pot Life
3 Hours @ 210C / 700F
1 1/2 Hours @ 320C / 900F However, these times may vary with environmental or climatic conditions
This material and its components are moisture sensitive. The product should be kept covered at all times after mixing and
during application to prevent contamination and prevent moisture absorption.
Coverage
51PC101TM exhibits excellent opacity and coverage when spray applied. If applying colors by means other than spray,
test opacity over a small section to ensure adequate coverage prior to general application.
