– 4440 Insulation Coating Unique
Coatings – Extreme Results Description
FGI-4440 is an extremely unique ultimate
performance insulation, corrosion and moisture protection coating. FGI-4440
is an epoxy ceramic based coating that is impervious to heat and water
providing for extreme insulation value. At 10 mils (0.25 mm) thickness the K
value is 0.002 WmK or an equivalent R value of 30. The 4440 is not just
reflective, it is truly insulation. It can get dirty, lose it reflectivity,
and it will still insulate because of the type components that we have
incorporated into the product. Also provides for up to 68% sound reduction.
Because it is “wetter than water”, FGI-4440 can even be applied under salt
water. Applied properly, FGI-4440 warrants against damage from standing water
and can remain under water permanently with no harm to the coating. Can be
applied directly over rust and offers unmatched protection against heat and
cold extremes, mildew, alkali, UV, oils and grease. FGI-4440 can be applied
to a dry or wet surface making rain a non issue when it comes to application
time. It is water proof and can be applied equally well direct to Metal, PVC,
Concrete, EPDM and capsheet The 4440 can also be applied to wood, stucco,
sheetrock, virtually any substrate. Adheres to practically all surfaces,
including EPDM, with remarkable flexibility. It is easier to say what
surfaces the 4440 can not be applied to.....the few surfaces the 4440 is not
recommended for are Teflon, high-plasticized vinyl's, polyethylene, and
silicone rubber. The product maintains flexibility to prevent cracking. Very
easy to use with long pot life, high insulation, high reflectivity, high
emissivity, encapsulates friability of virtually all roof material,
chemically inert finish, withstands acids, alkalis, animal fats, grease and
oils, encapsulates asbestos, so no tear off or landfill waste. Withstands 2.5
inch hail at 140 mph. Stops Thermal shock thus extending roof life. ASTM Test ASTM B117 500 hour Salt fog test –Passed ASTM 518 Thermal Conductance 2.61 Btu(h)(ft2)(F) Excellent ASTM 518 Thermal Conductivity 0.0139

Typical Applications: Roofs, metal buildings,
ducts, concrete walls, basements, etc. Application Methods FGI-4440 may be applied by brush, roller, or spray.
Surfaces should be free of
loose rust, mill scale, paint, grease, oil and of any other film-forming
foreign material. An example of the prep work needed is to water blast with
high-pressure (3,000 psi MIN) water to thoroughly clean off all debris, dirt,
and other contaminates. The result shall be to have a clean tight substrate.
Optimum results are obtained if the surface is dry although entirely
satisfactory protection is obtained if the surface is damp and/or wet. Surplus
water should be removed to prevent excessive bubbling of the coating. Applied
properly, one 13.3 mil wet coat dries to 10 mils making it impervious to
water, providing for unsurpassed insulative properties and flexibility. No primer is needed on metal surfaces thereby reducing
total job cost. Airless spray is the most efficient application method for
larger projects. Brushes and rollers may be used for detail work such as edge
termination, filling of voids, pinholes, and small cracks. MIXING: Thoroughly mix (4 to 1 ratio) 4
Parts Base (part "B") with 1 Part Activator (part "A")
for 5 minutes in the 5 gallon pail (or for 1 minute in one gallon pail), with
a power mixer until all streaks and/or lumps disappear and the mixture has uniform
color and consistency. Be sure to allow mixing blade to rub on sides and
bottom of container to recombine any settling. Allow to stand (or ingest) for
one hour before adding thinner or beginning application. Use of thinner
increases possibility of sag and reduces dry film thickness. Thinner also
retards cure time. For best results, use just as it comes from the pail. If surface to be coated has chlorine ions, these must be
neutralized with Chlor-Rid mixed into the pressure wash water. This is a rare
occurrence but usually occurs around salt water. Chlorine ion test will
verify. Any overspray and equipment must be cleaned immediately
with acetone, toluene, xylene, or MEK. FGI-4440 is 75% solids. Approx. Pot Life: 4 to 6 hours at
80 F. Drying time 1 to 2 hours at 80 F. Curing time: Initial: 8 hours at 80
F, Complete: 3 days at 80 F. Apply 13.3 mils (.0133 inches or 0.337 mm) wet
to achieve a final dry mil thickness of 10 mils (0.010 inches or 0.254 mm).
FGI-4440 will cover approximately 120 square feet (11.2 sq meters) per gallon
at 10 mils (0.254 mm) thickness. If second coat is needed wait till first
coat is tacky dry, usually one to two hours in 80 F. An example of the
suggested Spray Equipment: Graco 5900 with 0.021 to 0.031 tip size with 3000
PSI capability and typically a reversible self-cleaning tip. Remove all
filters from gun and hose, including bung hose. Contact FGI representatives
for specific applications. Use in well ventilated area; if not possible, use a NIOSH
approved self contained breathing apparatus or vapor filters on a mask. Protective gloves
and safety glasses must be worn at all times. Only very high abrasion will remove the coating.
Caution: With the extreme adhesion characteristics of this product all safety
procedures must be followed. Storage Stability & Shelf Life
The shelf life of FGI - 4440 is one year when stored in
original, unopened container. Store cans in a well ventilated and covered
area away from extreme heat and moisture. Please contact your FGI
representative if you have any questions about product usability. Additional information is available at www.fginternational.net Health, safety and environmental
