- Product Highlights
- ECLIPSE™ COATING dries to form an effective air erosion preventive surfacing material sealing and reinforcing the surface of new or aged duct liner insulation materials.
- ECLIPSE™ COATING is non-flammable when wet and extremely fire-resistive when dry.
- When tested on both faced and unfaced fiberglass duct liner insulation, it produced flame and smoke ratings below the 25/50 NFPA 90A and 90B requirements.
- The dry film stays flexible and moisture resistant.
- It will not cause flash rusting on metal surfaces.
- When dry, Eclipse™ Coating resists mold, fungus, discoloration from mildew and stains by mold.
- Its extremely high level of resistance enhances the longevity of the material.
- ECLIPSE™ COATING meets NFPA 90A and 90B 25/50 requirements.
- FOSTER® ECLIPSE™ COATING 40-11 meets the requirements of:
- MAS Certified Green®
- California Dept. of Public Health Standard Method v1.2
- VOC Emissions and Content requirements to contribute to LEED v4 EQ Credit: Low Emitting Materials – Paints and Coatings
- Collaborative for High Performance Schools EQ 7.1
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Limitations
- Apply between 50°F (10°C) and 100°F (38°C) with less than 70% RH air conditions maintained until dry.
- Water-based products may corrode carbon steel spray equipment.
- Corrosion resistant pumps and fittings are suggested.
- For interior use only.
- Do Not Dilute.
- Preparation and Application Information
Material Preparation
- Do Not Thin.
- Apply only to clean, dry surfaces.
- Keep container closed when not in use.
Surface Preparation
- Lined air ducts should be thoroughly cleaned to remove all mold, dust and loose particles, being careful not to tear or loosen the liner.
- Galvanized surfaces need to be vacuumed or washed clean of all accumulated mold, dust and loose particles.
- Following complete cleaning procedures, sanitize the entire air duct surfaces with an approved sanitizer following manufacturer’s directions.
- Ensure that all interior surfaces are thoroughly dry before applying Eclipse™ Coating (40-11).
- All rusted metal surfaces must be primed before application of Eclipse™ Coating.
- It may be applied directly onto cleaned, unrusted, galvanized surfaces.
Application
- Always ensure adequate ventilation by using negative air pressure in the HVAC system during application.
- Apply Eclipse™ Coating to all surfaces by brush or airless spray at the required rate (see front page).
- Brushing will require two coats applied at 90° to each other.
- Under normal circumstances, a spray application can be completed in one coat, but for extremely porous or irregular surfaces, a second coat may be required.
- Eclipse™ Coating has been designed with an average viscosity range of between 4,000 and 6,000 cps, enabling application by virtually any type of electric airless spray equipment.
- Ensure that the finished surface is smooth and well- sealed.
Note
- Continue to circulate fresh air throughout the system during the application and for as long after the application as is possible.
- Circulated air should be exhausted outside the building.
- If air must be exhausted inside the building, filtration through a charcoal medium is suggested.
- This circulation and filtration helps to reduce the dry time of the coating and reduce latex-type odors that could possibly migrate from the application area.
- Be sure exhausted air is odorless before venting into occupied spaces.
Maintenance
- Normal cleaning procedures must be maintained in HVAC systems to remove accumulated airborne particles.
- Cleaning Information
- Use fresh water to clean brushes before product dries.
- While the product is still wet, flush the equipment with a solution comprised of 1/2 cup sudsy ammonia, 1/2 cup pine oil cleanser, and 4 gallons of cool water.
- Flush until material exiting pump shows no evidence of Eclipse™Coating.
- Dry product may be removed with chlorinated solvents (non-flammable) or xylol (flammable).

- Note
¹ - Tested at coverage rate of 150 sq. ft./gal. (3.68 m2 /l). Applied to 1" (25 mm) faced duct liner. The flame spread may vary at different product thicknesses and/or when applied over other surfaces.
² - Subject to the nature of material being coated. Wet coverages shown below are for smooth, non-eroded surfaces. Eroded, rough or low density surfaces may require higher gallonage to attain required surface sealing.
