    2400 Series Protective Finishes


    Technical Data Sheet
    The 2400 Series is a hard, abrasion resistant coating which meets or exceeds all military and
    aerospace specifications for protective coatings. With a pencil hardness of greater than 9H, the
    2400 Series will provide a 180-degree bend without any coating loss. The 2400 is formulated to
    provide excellent impact resistance, lubricity (meets military dry firing specifications), heat
    dissipation, chemical resistance, corrosion protection, durability and scratch resistance. The
    cured coating will not attract dirt or dust. The 2400 Series coatings can be sprayed and
    formulated for dip-spin application and also to meet specific customer’s needs.

    Marketed under the trademarked name Gun Kote, it is an outstanding general-purpose coating
    for use in the sporting goods, construction, and for general light to heavy industrial equipment.
    Gun Kote can also be custom formulated to meet specific needs for extra lubricity, corrosion or
    durability.

    Gun Kote 16/2 Flat Dark Earth (2404F) is specified by the U.S. Military for use on SOCOM
    Special Sniper Weapons (SPR’s) in 2003. The 2404F continues to be specified for most new
    special weapons.

    COVERAGE 600 to 800 square feet per gallon

    THICKNESS Maximum = .0003 to .0004 +- .0001

    PRE TREATMENT:

    Stainless Steel: Grit blast (all blasting should be done using aluminum oxide 120 mesh at
    40 to 60 pounds of pressure.)
    Alloy Steel: Sandblast and phosphate or sandblast only.
    Aluminum: Alodine or anodize if possible, if not possible use grit blast at lower
    pressures of 20 to 40 psi.
    Nickel Or
    Chrome Plating: Grit blast (If plating peels it is poor plating and will have to be taken
    completely down to bare metal.)

    Parts are first stripped and cleaned of any oil or grease (use KG-3 Solvent Degreaser or solvent
    that does not leave a residue). After sandblasting, repeat cleaning/degreasing to remove all
    residue from the surface and from any holes that may have trapped the blast material.

    THINNING If thinning is required use MEK or Ethel Alcohol in small amounts. Gun Kote is
    formulated and packaged ready to spray.

    CLEAN UP MEK or Acetone.

    CURING Coating will be fully cured after one hour. Bake temperature is 325F.
    Timing starts after part has reached curing temperature. Coating will dry
    to the touch within a few minutes. Temperatures can vary with longer in-
    oven times for example 275 degrees for two hours. Some colors that
    contain a yellow pigment are best cured at lower temperatures.

    Gun Kote cured at higher temperatures (325 to 350) for 90 minutes will become
    slightly harder. Some loss of gloss may occur at high cure temperatures.

    COLORS The 2400 Series is available in several colors including: Black, Gray, OD
    Green, Stainless Steel, Service Brown, Tan, Silver, Gold and Clear.
    (Some colors available in Flat) Premium custom colors and or
    formulations are also available.

    APPLICATION Preheat parts to be coated to 100 to 120F to reduce the chance of runs.
    When handling any part, use a pair of powder free, clean, latex gloves to
    insure you do not leave any fingerprints. Fingerprints will affect the
    bonding of the material to the metal. Using a good quality air gun or
    airbrush, spray in light fog passes, 8 to 10 inches away from the part you
    are coating. Spray from four to five different directions to assure
    complete coverage. Air pressure should be 20-30 psi. Too much air
    pressure will cause a rough finish.

    The ideal coating thickness is .0003 to .0004 of an inch, which should not
    cause any problems to close tolerance fits. After curing, while part is still
    warm, use oil to wipe the part down. This is especially important with flat
    finishes and will minimize burnishing marks which are common with flat
    finishes.

    Types of Spray Guns: HVLP touch up guns with medium to fine tips and set to manufactures
    recommendations to start. You must experiment with the material control and
    fan control for best results and to obtain proper sheen of finished coating.

    If coating is not to your satisfaction at this time, it can be removed with


    Acetone, Alcohol or MEK. To re-coat simply repeat the process.
    After allowing the coating to dry, hang parts in an air-circulating oven and
    bake for at least 1 hour at 325F. Bake time starts when parts reach the
    curing temperature.

    Technical General: Outstanding corrosion protection up to 1000 salt spray tests at 5% salt.
    Tests performed for Armscor by the South African Navel Logistics Dept.
    showed Gun Kote withstanding an equivalent of a 7-year exposure. (Tests
    were performed on Aluminum in a salt spray chamber with 50/50 on/off
    time at 35 degrees C.)
