Description
ChemLine® 784/31 delivers significantly improved product performance and anti-corrosion resistance. ChemLine ® 784/31 is
formulated with new, patented breakthrough polymer technology, designed and engineered with 28 functional groups per molecule.
This translates into 784 crosslinks versus four (4) for high temperature epoxies.
ChemLine® 784/31’s Higher Cross-Link Density Means:
- Higher Chemical Resistance
- Higher Temperature Resistance
- Higher Reactivity at Lower Temperature
- Higher Resistance to Absorption
- Higher Toughness
ChemLine® 784/31 is heat force cured. When cured, ChemLine® 784/31’s high functionality delivers an extremely dense cross-linked molecular structure. Unlike other coatings, ChemLine® 784/31 cross-links through an ether (carbon-oxygen-carbon) linkage. This eliminates high concentrations of hydroxyl groups (found in epoxies) and precludes formation of ester groups (found in vinylesters) which are subject to hydrolysis and acid attack.
Industry Applications

More Chemical Resistance than:
- Stainless Steel
- Phenol Epoxies
- Vinylesters
- Phenolic
ChemLine® 784/31 Provides Superior Resistance To:
- Acids, Alkalis and Solvents
- Thermal Shock -40°F to 400°F (-40°C to +204°C)
- Flex Stressing
- Wear and Abrasion
- Product Absorption
- Impact
- Under-Creep Corrosion
- Dry Heat Resistance to 500°F (260°C)
The Technology; Epoxies, Vinylesters and ChemLine® 784/31
Form 3 Dimensional Screen-Like Structures when Cured

ChemLine 784/31
- 28 functionality forming 784 crosslinks
- Very small opening between groups
- Majority of crosslinks are through Ether (C-O-C) bonds. Ether bonds are one of the strongest bonds in
chemistry. Ether bonds give flexibility with chemical resistance.
- No ester groups

Application
Data
Note: The following application data is provided as a general guide only. Detailed instructions are provided
for MarineLine 784 coating systems. Only full detailed application
specifications are to be used during actual application of
any ChemLine® 784/31 system.
Surface Preparation
Abrasive blast to SSPC-SP10 (NACE #2, Sa 2.5) near white metal finish. 3-4 mil (75-100 micron) blast profile.
Mixing Instructions
Material is supplied in two containers as a unit. Always mix a complete unit in the proportions supplied.
(1) Thoroughly mix the contents of Part A with a power agitator until uniform consistency and color is obtained. Be sure that any solids that may have settled through storage have been put back in suspension.
(2) Slowly combine the contents of the activator with the previously mixed Part A.
(3) Thoroughly mix the two parts until a uniform consistency and color is obtained.
Clean Up Solvent
Acetone, Xylene, Toluene
Limitations
Apply when the air and surface temperatures are above 60°F (15°C). Surface temperatures must be at least 5°F (-15°C) above the dew point. Relative humidity must be kept at 50% or lower. For optimum application properties, bring material to 70-90°F
(21-32°C) prior to mixing and application. Increased temperatures will result in shorter pot life.
Application
Airless spray equipment with minimum 45:1 pump ratio @80-100 lbs. to achieve 2500-3000 p.s.i. tip pressure. Reverse-A-Clean tip .019 to .023, with 3/8” fluid hose, 1/4” by 6’ whip hose, with a maximum of 100 linear feet. This coating is a low VOC compliant
material. If shop conditions require a viscosity adjustment, thin with Xylene or Toluene.
Cure Time And Temperature
Forced Hot Air - electrically heated air or propane or natural gas combustion heated air only. 6 hours at minimum 250°F (122°C)
All temperatures are substrate temperatures. Contact APC for detailed heat cure requirements.
Handling Precautions
Solvents and chemicals are contained in this product. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for details. Adequate safety and health precautions should be taken during handling, application and drying of this product. The material should be applied under local, state, federal regulations and in accordance with OSHA and ANSI bulletins on safety requirements.
A History of Performance
For more than a decade ChemLine® coatings have withstood the tremendous stresses and extremes of chemical attack and abrasive wear. ChemLine® has been proven worldwide under the most arduous operating conditions, from resisting the most aggressive chemicals to handling hot pipelines in sub-freezing temperatures, with a history of success. Based on this experience, the development of ChemLine® 784/31 represents a quantum leap in chemical resistant polymer coatings.
