Light flash rusting per SSPC-SP WJ-3, paragraph 3.1.2 with all coating materials removed is acceptable on
properly prepared carbon steel surfaces.
The surface, when viewed without magnification, may exhibit a small rust layer through which the carbon
steel substrate may be observed. The rust or discoloration may be evenly distributed or present in patches,
but it is tightly adherent and not easily removed by lightly wiping with a cloth.
For a visual acceptance standard, refer to the light to moderate rusting standard in SSPC-VIS 4.
Application of 1027 should begin as soon as possible after the surface has dried.
RESULTANT FILM / STANDARD OF APPEARANCE
When applied to ambient temperature substrates at the recommended DFT, and after 24 hours dry time at
the appropriate temperature and humidity, with air movement over the coated surface, the dried film of PPG
HI-TEMP 1027 will be well adhered, flexible, and hard enough that pressure with a fingertip leaves no
impression and scraping with a fingernail will not damage or remove the coating film.
The appearance of 1027, when properly applied to ambient or hot substrates, exhibits a flat finish and a
rough texture.
Properly applied and dried 1027 may exhibit surface rust staining when exposed to splash and spill of salt
water. This rust stain does not affect the performance of the coating. This rust stain may be removed by
wire brushing or sanding the surface lightly.
Under certain ambient (hot) and higher humidity conditions, generally above 90% relative humidity and
ambient temperatures exceeding 90 oF (33oC), shallow craters may appear after application of the second
coat. These are defined as solvent popping. During the application and drying of the first coat, the paint can
skin over entrapping the slow evaporation solvents. When a new coat of 1027 is applied, the skin is
dissolved and the entrapped slow evaporating solvent is released, leaving a small shallow depression (< 30
ums). This condition is strictly cosmetic. 1027 is a heavy-bodied coating and should always be applied in
multiple thin passes to allow the solvent to evaporate evenly. Under high humidity and elevated
temperature, PPG recommends a 5% to 10% dilution with PPG Thinner 21-25 or an aromatic 150 to
mitigate premature skinning, dry spray and solvent popping. If these conditions persist, then an alternate
solution is application of the 1027 using wet on wet continuous multiple thin passes to achieve a single
coat. The same solvent reduction recommendation applies for this solution; note this solution is only viable
with elevated ambient temperatures.

INFORMATION SHEET
Spray equipment, settings, pressure and tip size are also important factors to consider. Please see the
product data sheet for support information.
1027 does not need to be thinned during normal application. Thinning can change application properties.
If the situation warrants thinning for applications below 66C (150F), use THINNER 21-06 up to a
maximum of 5%. For the VOC restricted regions, use THINNER 91-10 up to a maximum of 5%.
For application to hot substrates between 66C (150F) and 260C (500F), use THINNER 21-25 up to a
maximum of 12%), as required. Thinners that are approved for use in replacing PPG Thinner # 21-25
include aromatic 150 and Methyl Amyl Ketone, MAK, which is HAPs compliant.
For applications between 260C (500F) and 316C (600F), consult PPG HI-TEMP technical service.
Tightly re-sealed cans of 1027 can be used at a later time. Do not re-use 1027 which has dried out, become
bodied, or has been contaminated.
There is no maximum interval for recoating 1027 with itself or with an approved PPG HI-TEMP topcoat as
long as the surface is clean, dry and free of contaminants
STORAGE / SHELF LIFE
Unused material should be kept in tightly sealed original containers; partly-used cans should be re-sealed
to prevent evaporation of solvents.
The recommended temperature range for storage of 1027 is 4C (40F) minimum to 38C (100F)
maximum.
The shelf life of 1027 is two years from date of manufacture. It is recommended to apply 1027 within one
year if possible, as it will mix more readily. The longer that 1027 is on the shelf, the more effort will be
required to mix it into a homogenous condition. Containers can be turned over after 6 months in storage to
minimize settling. Turning over the container several days before application will aid in mixing.
SPRAY APPLICATION OF PPG HI-TEMP 1027 AMBIENT AND HOT APPLY
Industry standard spray equipment may be used. Typical spray equipment settings are described in the
1027 PDS. HVLP or conventional spray equipment is recommended for coating small diameter piping and
intricately shaped substrates.
Spray application of 1027 is the preferred method. Whenever possible, this method of application should be
used. Conventional, HVLP or airless spray applications will provide for a smoother finish as opposed to roll
and brush application. This is especially true with hot application of 1027.
1027 should always be applied in multiple thin passes to achieve the recommended DFT for each coat.
This is especially important during hot application. Avoid arcing and over reaching which can result in dry
spray. For difficult to coat areas such as bolt rings or flanges, spray apply a single pass, then use a natural
hair bristle brush to coat the areas that the spray fan could not cover.

INFORMATION SHEET
Conventional or HVLP spray is recommended for hot applications over 149C (300F) as thinner (wet film)
application passes of coating material is desirable and this is more difficult with airless spray equipment.
The auto ignition temperature of 1027 is 454C (850F). The recommended upper limit is 600 oF (316C)
and requires proper thinning. As such there is not a chance of ignition unless there is a spark or direct
flame nearby. Ensure that antistatic measures are used, good ventilation is ensured, and the applicator
and owners health and safety management team approve the coating application procedure.
Keep the material agitated regularly during spraying.
When applying by roller, each coat of PPG HI-TEMP 1027 will require application in thin passes to achieve
the recommended dry film thickness. Use a short nap (1/4 or less) non-shedding, solvent resistant roller.
Apply the first pass by rolling in one direction only, to lay the PPG HI-TEMP 1027 onto the substrate in a
uniform film. Allow the first pass to tack up (10-15 minutes, depending upon conditions) then apply
subsequent passes rolling in one direction only to build the film thickness, only rolling in one direction.
Typically this procedure will utilize 2-3 passes to achieve the 125 to 150 m (5.0 to 6.0 mils) DFT for each
individual coat.
When brushing to touch-up or to coat small areas, use a natural hair bristle brush. Wet out the surface, and
then apply additional even layers by brushing in one direction to achieve the 125 to 150 m (5.0 to 6.0 mils)
DFT.
Care must be taken to ensure minimum DFT requirements are achieved when rolling or brushing due to the
rough texture of the coating.
Hot application of PPG HI-TEMP 1027 by roll and brush is more challenging. The level of effort may
increase as the temperature of the substrate increases, especially as substrate temperatures increase over
149C (300F). Spray application should be considered if at all possible.
For hot application of PPG HI-TEMP 1027 by roller or brush, use the same procedure and technique as for
ambient application as described above, with the following additional guidelines:
PPG HI-TEMP 1027 may need to be thinned during hot application with a brush or roller. Refer to the
thinning section in this document for recommended thinners.
Refer to the MSDS/SDS and PDS for the required information regarding the potential hazards of 1027 and
for the HSE requirements to safely apply it. The auto ignition temperature of PPG HI-TEMP 1027 is 454C
(850F). The recommended upper limit for hot application is 316C (600F).
For additional information regarding application to hot substrates please refer to Safety Considerations for
Application of Specialty High-Temperature Coatings to Hot Surfaces.
Worker Safety and Fatigue are concerns when working near hot surfaces. The employer and the
employers Health Safety and Environmental staff should have oversight of all aspects of work safety. Any
project involving surface preparation and coating of hot surfaces, must be properly planned and executed
by competent, experienced personnel with approval of and supervision of safety authorities from the
contractor and facility owner.
CLEANUP
For cleanup of equipment and spray lines, Xylene or any of the PPG thinners mentioned above may be used.
POSSIBLE APPLICATION DEFECTS
Application of insufficient film thickness of 1027 results in a coating film which may be subject to pinpoint
rusting and a shortened service life. 1027 is a barrier coating with corrosion inhibitors, requiring the full
recommended DFT to achieve its maximum corrosion protection.
Application of excessive film thickness of 1027 results in a gummy, rubbery dry film at the end of normal
drying time, and requires additional drying time before being over-coated or placed in hot service. If some
cases excessive films may need to be removed and replaced. If the additional drying time is not allowed,
the excessively thick 1027 is subject to solvent entrapment, blistering, and possible delamination which
may result in a potential shortened service life. The maximum DFT limit for two coats of 1027 is 500 micron
(20 mil)

INFORMATION SHEET
Application of dry-sprayed 1027 results in areas without an effective film build and loss of corrosion
protection.
REPAIR
Damage to surfaces coated with 1027 caused by shipping, handling, or accidental abrasion may be
repaired. Any repair will require cleaning of the surface typically a clean water wash to remove
contaminants.
Repair of Coating Damage that Reaches the Substrate: If there are nicks, dings, or scrapes that reach the
substrate, then the affected area should be either blast cleaned, power tool or hand tool cleaned to the bare
substrate, coating edges should feathered, then the prepared area should be coated with 1027 to original
product data or specification requirements.
Repair of superficial and surface blemishes
