Noxyde Features
This is the main feature that prevents water seeping through cracks and splits that appear in most other paint coatings, as the metal underneath expands and contracts. An airless sprayer such as the Wagner 117 or the larger 119 are ideal. They enable the consistent application and thickness required on the substrate. An initial brush application of the water based Noxyde applied to a protruding bolt. You may require overlaps to ensure full coverage. When you apply two coats, the use of contrasting colours provides a visual aid for the applicator. This ensures they know which area has been coated. The area still requiring a second coat as the film build is extremely important in providing a waterproof membrane.
Noxyde has another feature where the sprayed particles become a dry powder within 3-4 metres of air-borne travel. Dry fall is the name of this process. This is important when objects or vehicles in the vicinity do not want paint on them! Due to its success, Noxyde has recently become a brand, which now includes Peganox, a version designed for brush or roller application when smaller areas do not require spraying. Pegarust is the solvent based winter grade version which is suitable when humidity is high and temperatures are as low as 0°C.
