Childers® Chil-Lastic™ CP-79 Sealant and Coating

1 of 40 products in this brand
Childers® Chil-Lastic™ CP-79 Sealant and Coating is a versatile, high-temperature sealant and coating applied by trowel over various thermal insulations, except polystyrene. This asphalt-based coating creates a tough, durable, heavy film and can withstand elevated temperatures. Before putting hot lines, vessels, or tanks into operation, they should be cured at ambient temperature with proper ventilation to prevent the potential boiling out of the residual solvent.

Identification & Functionality

Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • Chil-Lastic™ CP-79 Sealant and Coating exhibits good adhesion to most surfaces.
  • It is acid and alkali resistant and will not freeze, decompose or show settling or separation in storage.
  • Chil-Lastic™ CP-79 Sealant and Coating provides an excellent water and vapor seal.
  • It forms a tough, protective coating when cured, which does not tend to crack or peel during normal equipment operation.
  • Chil-Lastic™ CP-79 Sealant and Coating requires no special mixing or additives.

Recommended Applications
  • Chil-Lastic™ CP-79 Sealant and Coating is used as flashing material in the sealing of boiler settings to prevent air infiltration. It is also used in refractory applications.

APPLICATION

  • Chil-Lastic™ CP-79 Sealant and Coating is normally applied by trowel or heavy duty airless spray. See reverse side of product data sheet for spray recommendations.
  • Chil-Lastic™ CP-79 Sealant and Coating trowel grade has a heavy body and can be applied in wet thicknesses up to 1/8” (0.31 cm) without sagging or running.
  • CP-79-T or CP-79-S cannot be successfully applied by brush. CP-79-T cannot be spray applied.
  • Failure to apply the full coverage specified can result in premature failure of the product. Do not under-apply CP-79.
Preparation and Application Information

Determining the Proper Viscosity

  • It is necessary to determine the method of application based upon the overall size of the object being coated, since Chil-Lastic™ CP-79 Sealant and Coating is available in two viscosities (CP-79-T for trowel application and CP-79-S for spray application).
  • Large, flat areas and/or objects that lend themselves to application by spray; CP-79-S is most appropriate for this type of situation.
  • Smaller, irregularly shaped objects, such as fittings, lend themselves to application by trowel; CP-79-T is most appropriate for this type of situation.
  • In addition, cost of spray equipment rental, purchase or use may be a factor in determining method of application.
  • After the proper application has been determined, the proper product viscosity can be ordered.
  • Do Not Thin.

Service Temperature Range

  • For the temperature at the coated surface (the exposed surface), the service temperature range is -75°F to 350°F (-59°C to 177°C) if the temperature is continuous.
  • Behind refractory, block or spray-applied, the temperatures at the refractory face can be 500°F (260°C) or higher, provided the temperatures behind the refractory (between the CP-79 and the steel shell) do not exceed -75°F to 350°F (-59°C to 177°C) if the temperature is continuous.

Application

  • Prepare steel surfaces by abrasive grit blasting to remove all traces of mill scale, rust, paint and corrosion products.
  • Remove all dust and grit from the surface.
  • Apply the CP-79 promptly, before the blasted surface can flash rust.
  • If absolutely necessary, the blasted surface may be primed with a thin coat of CP-79 cut 50/50 with mineral spirits.
  • Apply the full thickness CP-79 application within 30 days.

Spray Application

  • Chil-Lastic™ CP-79 Sealant and Coating is most readily applied by airless spraying equipment.
  • Airless spray is faster, neater and gives a better, more uniform finish.
  • A two-coat application will be required.
  • Allow the first coat to set firm before applying the second coat.
  • Industrial spray equipment is required to spray CP-79-S.
  • It has a relatively high pseudoplastic consistency and a typical viscosity of 100,000 cps to 150,000 cps (Brookfield speed of 20 at 25°C).
  • For this reason, it is necessary to have the spray unit mounted on an inductor plate (also called a ram plate) which will keep feed pressure on the mastic to the pump and avoid cavitation.
  • For best results, consult a qualified industrial spray equipment dealer for equipment recommendations.

Heat

Store CHIL-LASTICTM CP-79-S Sealant/Coating in a heated area.
The temperature of the CP-79-S should be at least 70°F (21°C) before spraying.
The capacity of inline heaters is too low to be effective

  • Most manufacturers of mastic spray equipment maintain nearby service facilities to aid in the solution of any technical problems that arise with their equipment.
