- Does not split or crack like plastic drop-in liners
and water cannot get under it
- Easy clean
- Great impact resistance
- Range of colours
- Any thickness required
- Sound deadening qualities
- Smart factory finish

Processing
ARMOUR - TRUCK is processed through specially
designed dispensing equipment having accurate metering
pumps for the two components. The components should
be maintained at 40- 60ºC and mixed and sprayed by the
appropriate equipment, on which Isothane technical staff
can advise.
Ambient conditions should be suitable for PU processing,
with particular emphasis on humidity is 90% or above
or the substrate temperature is less than 3ºC above
the local dew point.
Storage, Handling and Personal Protection
- ARMOUR - TRUCK should be stored in dry conditions
at a temperature 20 - 25º C.
- ARMOUR - TRUCK R Resin has a shelf life of 6 months.
Armour - Truck H has a shelf life of 6 months if stored
at 20 - 25º C.
- Opened, part used containers must be resealed immediately
after use.
The recommendations in our Safety Data Sheet for this
product must be followed at all times. More general
information is included in our publication “A Guide
to the Safe Handling of Polyurethane Chemicals” and
in the following Technical Data Sheets which are available
on request:-
- Decontamination of Isocyanates using Isothane Decontaminant.
Additional Information
ARMOUR - TRUCK R resin may require some agitation
before use, in order to effect redispersion of any pigment.
Recirculation of both components from the barrel, through
the machine’s heater blocks and back to the barrel,
is recommended when using standard 2:1 or 1:1 transfer
pumps, in order to prime the materials and machine.
30 minutes of recirculation to warm the components to
around 40ºC will be adequate.
