DAIMLER TRUCKS NA
CHOOSES TWO DUPONT PRIMERS
Daimler Trucks North America
(DTNA) has approved DuPont
CorMax VI and ElectroShield 21
cathodic epoxy electrodeposition
primers for use on all DTNA truck
bodies and parts. DTNA brands
include Freightliner, Sterling and
Western Star.
The DTNA approval process is
rigorous and requires testing of
more than 1,000 laboratory and
field-produced panels. Success
resulted from an intensive “One
DuPont” effort from many DuPont
technical and field personnel at
various locations throughout
North America.
CorMax VI and ElectroShield 21
products provide corrosion and
chemical resistance, and serve as
Laboratories Class A fire rating. Class
A roofing systems are effective
against severe fire exposures. Other
ASTM testing provided ratings for
tensile strength, elongation, permeability, and durometer properties.
When applied properly, both of these
WDG silicone coatings form a seamless, self-flashing seal; resist oxidation, wind-driven rain and snow, as
well as ozone; and offer resistance to
cracking, peeling, shrinking or becoming brittle and stiff.
HEAT RESISTANT COATINGS
A line of high performance, two-component silicone copolymer coatings for
products exposed to harsh environments and extreme weather conditions
has been introduced by Dampney
Company, Inc. of Everett, MA.
Dampney Thurmalox 8886 Series
Heat Resistant Coatings provide long-term protection in weathering conditions and create a barrier against attack
from glycol cooling agents and synthetic
suitable primers for Class A topcoat finishes.
“These approvals further
strengthen DuPont as the leading
coatings supplier to the North
American heavy duty truck market,” said Joseph Wood, sales and
marketing manager, DuPont
CoatingSolutions, North America.
The Freightliner Cascadia uses DuPont
coatings.
lubricants at temperatures up to 450°F.
Recommended for use on valves, castings, pumps, sumps, compressors, pipes,
exhaust systems and related equipment, these durable two-component silicone copolymer coatings are available in
clear, black and custom OEM colors.
Suitable for application by a variety
of conventional and airless, HVLP,
HTE or assisted airless spray equipment, Dampney Thurmalox 8886
Series Heat Resistant Coatings will

adhere well to clean, smooth carbon-,
stainless-, blasted-, phosphatized-,
primed-steel, and galvanized, copper,
aluminum, substrates. It is not recommended for immersion in aromatic
hydrocarbons and are offered in one-and five-gallon kits.
COATING FOR SURFACE
PREPARATION FROM CORTEC
Cortec's VpCI-440 is a surface pre-treatment offering a unified solution
for multi-metal substrate protection
against corrosion while preparing
metals for surface bonding and coating. VpCI-440 is a non-toxic, non-haz-ardous, water-based coating, which
provides optimal paint adhesion and
improved corrosion resistance. This
coating is specifically designed to
replace phosphatizing and chromating systems and does not require the
use of biocides. It can be applied with
conventional equipment such as
sprayers, dipping tanks, steam cleaners and power washers.
ENVIROLINE INTRODUCES
EXTERIOR COATING, COLOR CHART
Enviroline Group has introduced
Envirothane 550 to complement its
complete line of interior high performance coatings and linings.
Envirothane 550 is a two-component
high gloss urethane coating designed for industrial and commercial applications requiring excellent
gloss and color retention as well as
superior UV, chemical, abrasion and
moisture resistance. It is available
in 22 standard colors, including five
safety colors.
To support the introduction of an
exterior coating, where color selection is more important than with
interior industrial applications,
Enviroline has also introduced its
Enviroline Color Selector Chart.
Owners and specifiers can view and
select from the color chips of seven
standard interior Enviroline colors,
