Revised Date: 07/2012Replaces Date: 01/2008ULTRATHANE ® 527080 SHORE A ELASTOMER IN-MOLD SKIN FORFLEX FOAM APPLICATIONSProduct DescriptionA solventless, fast cure, aromatic urethane elastomer.This flexible elastomer has excellent weather stability,but it is recommended for use with thin layer of analiphatic “in-mold coating” for outdoor application.It is commonly used as an elastomeric in-mold coatingfor all kinds of flexible foam parts.FeaturesExcellent weather stabilityFast cure/fast cycle timeOutstanding abrasion resistanceZero VOCExcellent soft feelRecommended UsesAutomotive dashboards and instrument clustersAutomotive inner door panelsMarine instrument panels and trimMotor home interior componentsVarious soft padding applicationTypical PropertiesSolids by Volume 100%Volatile Organic Compounds 0.0 lb/gal (0 gm/l)Theoretical Coverage1604 ft²/gal @ 1 milRecommend DFT30-60 milsFlash Point - PMCCA ComponentB Component>300°F (93°C)>300°F (93°C)Mix Ratio (by volume)1 “A” : 1 “B”ViscosityA ComponentB Component1000 cps900 cpsShelf Life @ 30-85°F (-1.0-29°C) 12 monthsColorBlack & NeutralSpecification DataElongation – ASTM D 412 250%Tensile Strength – ASTM D 412 1600 psi (10.9 mpa)Hardness – ASTM D 224080 Shore A1000 hrs.Accelerated weatheringNo chalking, crackingASTM G53-77 - B 313 Bulbor loss of flexibilityLow Temperature Flexibility

APPLICATION INFORMATIONULTRATHANE 5270UT 5270Page 2MethodMay be applied only by high pressure, heated, pluralcomponent, 1:1 proportioned, airless spray equipment.Gusmer GX-7 and GX-8 spray guns have proved suitable.Proportioner must be equipped with pre-heaters and heatedhoses. Typical application parameters are as follows:Pressure:Pre-heaters:Hose:Above 70°F (21°C)2000-2500 psi140-150°F (60-66°C)140-150°F (60-66°C)Application TemperatureMaterial TemperaturePrecondition Component A and Component B to 70°F-80°F(21°-27°C) before use.Do not store material at temperatures below 60°F (16°C).Mold Temperature75°F-125°F (24°-52°C).Better to use 125°F (52°C) when used with a water based “inmoldcoating”.MixingAfter preconditioning to 70°-80°F (21°C-27°C), power mix the“B” component using clean impeller-type power mixer. Mixthoroughly for about 15 minutes, component “A” does notrequire mixing. Purge all containers with Nitrogen or dry air.Cure TimeThe curing rate will vary depending on film thickness, ambientair and substrate temperatures and humidity.Tack FreeFull CureSafety InformationSurface Temperature70°F (24°C)
