Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Peel Coat Toxic?
Peel Coat is non-toxic and safe to use. It operates between 275 degrees F and 350 degrees F with a flash point over 410 degrees F. It contains no solvents.
How much does Peel Coat cost?
Peel Coat is an economical method to provide the ultimate protection of your parts. It is quick and easy to apply - saving space and weight when compared to other methods of packaging. Eight pounds of Peel Coat will melt into a liquid gallon.
One pound will cover 500 square inches, at 1/10 of an inch thick. Depending upon the type of Peel Coat, it will cost approximately $2.00 per pound and up. You can then protect the average item for pennies.
How do I apply Peel Coat?
Since Peel Coat is a hot melt strippable protective coating, it needs to be melted. Peel Coat needs the correct melting equipment to work effectively.
We recommend and sell only electrically heated, thermostatically controlled melting tanks.
Peel Coat should never be heated over an open flame, hot plate, or gas operated equipment, as there is a possibility that the coating could ignite.
Once Peel Coat is melted correctly, you just immerse the item into the molten plastic for a few seconds and withdraw. It does not dry, but will cool within a minute. The part is now ready for shipment or storage.
How difficult is Peel Coat to remove?
The protective coating is very easy to remove. It does not adhere but envelopes the part. It can be slit and peeled like an orange or banana.

What Peel Coat is best for my needs?
Choosing the best Peel Coat depends upon the part to be protected and what you want the protective coating to do.
For instance, if your parts are highly susceptible to corrosion the Type I Coatings are best.
If your item is plated, stainless or painted, and corrosion is not a problem, but protecting the finish is, then the Type IV K-20 or K-25 may be the best choice.
If you have a large number of parts to protect and require a fast cooling time, then the Type II Coatings are the best choice.
What items work best with Peel Coat?
Peel Coat is ideally suited for the protection of cutting tools and metal parts from corrosion and physical damage - drills, reamers, end mills, threaded parts, saw blades, gears, chisels, and any sharp cutting edge.
Peel Coat is also used to seal bottle tops, ends of electrical cables, gages, and bearings.
Peel Coat works best with any item that can be easily picked up in your hand.
Any problem with the hot melts protective coatings?
Users of Peel Coat can avoid any problem by just following a few guidelines:
(1) Use electrically heated, thermostatically controlled equipment.
(2) Operate at the recommended temperature.
(3) Choose the correct size melting equipment.
(4) Use a minimum of 20 to 25% of the dip tank's capacity everyday to prevent the darkening and degrading of the protective coatings.
