Enamel

A type of oil-base paint containing binders that form a film on exposure to air. Enamel has an outstanding ability to level off brush marks and to form an especially smooth film. It is usually intended for use as top coats and contains relatively less pigment than paint formulations for priming or surfacing.

Viscosity: Ranges from 22 cPs. to 5,500 cPs., depending on make-up of the enamel.

Pump Notes: Cast iron construction is satisfactory. Elastomers may be Viton® or PTFE depending on solvents used. Pump construction capable of handling mild abrasives should be considered.
