V570 Q & A

Q: What is V570?

A: V570 is a chemically resistant polymer specifically engineered for vertical surfaces. It is white in color.

Q: Both alkaline and acid coil cleaners are very corrosive to galvanizing and aluminum, and coatings as well. How does V570 stand up to these strong industrial chemicals? Will it last?

A: V570 is engineered to have no effect from chemicals, even concentrated coil cleaners normally aggressive to metals. In this regard, V570 is similar to Pancrete.

Q: What are the differences between V570 and Pancrete?

A: V570 and Pancrete share the same corrosion water resistance. However, Pancrete when mixed has a consistency of water, so it flows easily, coating the entire drain area, and easily getting into hard-to-reach areas. V570 is more viscous, and is engineered to coat the vertical surfaces of metals.

Q: How long will my unit be out of service when I use V570?

A: Metal preparation is the most time-consuming part of the process. You'll wet-vac the unit, and wire brush loose and flaking metal, then apply V570 to the vertical surfaces you wish to coat. Then you would pour the Pancrete in to the pan. You can put the unit back into service in as little as 4 hours depending upon temperatures.

Q: Is Pancrete used in conjunction with VZ570 going to be cost-effective?

A: Very much so. It is not uncommon on larger air handlers to save as much as 85% of the cost of a new pan replacement.

Q: How long will V570 last?

A: V570 will not rust or wear out. It is chemically resistant to most coil cleaners, provides a permanently smooth surface. It should outlive your equipment.

Q: How much V570 do I need?

A: One gallon of V570 should coat about 200 square feet of metal. The user should not mix anymore product than what he would use in a 30 minute time period after mixing or the product will set up in the can.

Q: How is V570 packaged?

A: V570 is packaged in pints, quarts, gallons and 5-gallon containers. The procedure would be to calculate out how much you would need first. For example, if you calculate you have 150 square feet of area to cover, you should purchase 3 quarts of V570, and mix them up as you go along.

Q: How important is surface preparation and mixing?

A: Improper surface prep and mixing are the most common reasons for coating failures, so they are very important. If in doubt, call our customer service department.

Q: How long can I store V570 before having to use it?

A: You can use V570 as long as two years after the manufacturing date.

Q: Can I mix partial containers of V570?

A: No. Neither V570 nor Pancrete can be partially mixed due to specialized ratios, so only complete containers may be used. The user should determine what size containers he needs for the job at hand. Our customer service department can provide easy assistance.
