FP 2072 is a water-based polymer bound impregnant used in the treatment of industrial and military tenting canvas. It imparts a variety of useful qualities to a range of textiles. A summary of features and application instructions can be found below.
Please note that FP2072 is not a flame retardant. If you require flame retardancy please consider FP2109 or another of our flame retardant impregnants.
Features
- Increased physical strength of textiles
- Improved durability
- Increased dimensional stability
- Improved water resistance
- Reduced permeability
Physical Properties
- Total Solids Content: 48% to 52%
- Viscosity: 1800 to 2200 CPS
- pH: 8.5 to 10
Application Storage
FP 2072 should be mixed with water to approximately 10% weight by weight and applied to the textile by impregnation. Application methods are similar to other water-based impregnants:
- Stir continuously after dilution to avoid sedimentation
- Impregnate the substrate twice for maximum water permeability
- To achieve the best results, dry substrate thoroughly and cross link the polymer binder by heating the substrate to 150°C for three minutes.
- FP2072 can be stored for up to 6 months in sealed containers at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C
- Do not allow the product to freeze
- Do not expose to direct sunlight
