Adsil HVAC/R Coating Marks 10,000 Hours in Salt Fog Test
DAYTONA BEACH, FL — Adsil Inc. announced its new HVAC/R coating has surpassed 10,000 hours in ASTM B117 testing. MicroGuard1® 3500 (MG1-3500) was released in May 2020. Years of research and development went into improving the well-known product it replaced, MicroGuard® AD35. The company reports that the new MG1-3500 has improved performance including surpassing 10,000 hours in the ASTM B117 Salt Fog test. Test samples still remain in the chamber.
According to Adsil, MG1-3500 protects beyond salt corrosion. EIS testing proves superior protection against other corrosives (chemical, UV, pollution). Its advanced low-VOC chemistry also reportedly provides benefits not seen in other coatings. Features of the inorganic formulation include: anti-fungal properties (ASTM G21 Rated 0), 9H Pencil Hardness, 5-B Adhesion, 6–8-micron DFT, 180-degree flexibility, and sustainability (lowers maintenance and life-cycle costs, extends service life of equipment). It can be installed in the field or at a coating center.
