RUST PROTECTION SPECIFICATIONS: MEGAFLEX
PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
The second arm shall pivot freely on the primary swing arm and
be orientated opposite the rear cross tube to provide gravity
assisted downward force to hold the tarp behind the cab shield
and minimize tarp lifting or sailing
To prevent the rear swing arms from lifting or bouncing when the
tarp is in the closed position, the system shall be equipped with
locks near the rear cross tube that automatically engage when
the tarp is fully closed, and immediately unlock when the process
to open the tarp is initiated.
Product shall be acrylic, abrasion resistant, rust preventive
coating.
Coating must be one part acrylic base self priming, thixotropic
semi-paste coating that contains at least 36% highly elastic in
water dispersed polymers.
V.O.C. (volatile Organic Compound) shall be 0.01 or less as
evidenced by
OSHA Form 174 MSDS.
Coating cannot contain any lead, organic solvents, or bitumastic
materials or other hazardous ingredients as evidenced by OSHA
Form 174.
Coating shall be 100% waterproof.
Coating must be 100% ultraviolet resistant so as not to
breakdown as a result of long term exposure to sunlight.
Coating must be capable of 200% elongation so as to
completely prevent cracking due to expansion and contraction
as well as dimpling resulting from impacts.
Coating must afford excellent chemical resistance to acids
alkalis, salts and fuels.
Coating must be self-extinguishing.
Coating must dry to a smooth texture.
Coating dry film thickness shall be 14 mil.
Coating samples wet and dry shall be submitted for evaluation at
the time of the bid if supplying an alternate product.
