Description
RaiLine 784 delivers significantly improved product performance and anti-corrosion resistance. RaiLine 784 is formulated with new, patented breakthrough high functionality oxirane polymer.
Designed and engineered with 28 functional groups per molecule, this bridged aromatic backbone structure when polymerized translates into 784 crosslinks.
The original RaiLine, introduced in 1987, delivered 5 functional groups (25 crosslinks), far surpassing epoxies which only have 2 functional groups (4 crosslinks) and phenolics which only have 3 functional groups (9 crosslinks).
RaiLine 784’s Higher Cross-Link
Density Means:
- Higher Chemical Resistance
- Higher Heat Resistance
- Higher Toughness
- Higher Resistance to Abrasion
RaiLine 784 is a high functionality, two component thermoset polymer coating. When cured, RaiLine 784’s high cross-link density is unlike other coatings. RaiLine 784 cross-links predominately through an ether (carbon-oxygen-carbon) linkage. This eliminates high concentrations of hydroxyl groups (found in epoxies and phenolics) which are subject to hydrolysis and attack.
RaiLine 784 is low temperature forced air cured for immediate service.

Superior Chemical Resistance to:
- 98% Sulfuric Acid

The Technology;
Epoxies, Vinylesters and RaiLine 784 Form 3 Dimensional Screen-Like
Structures when Cured
The Greater the Distance Between
the Crosslinks, the Greater the Permeation Causing Chemical Attack
and Absorption

Problems with Phenolics
- Requires 3 or more coats
- Requires 3 or more heat cures at 212°F
(100°C)
- Requires final bake at high temperature
— 428°F (220°C)
- Produces water due to condensation reaction
when heat curing
- Extremely brittle
- Cannot be repaired
- Poor resistance to bases and oxidizers

Application Data
Note: The following application data is provided as a general guide only. Only full detailed application specifications are to be used during actual application of the RaiLine 784 system.
Surface Preparation
Steel:
Grit blast to SSPC10 (Sa 2.5). 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). The substrate temperature should be at least 5°F (3°C) above the dew point and rising. For optimum application properties bring material to 68-77°F (20-25°C) prior to mixing and application. Increased temperatures will result in shorter pot life.
Application
Airless spray equipment with minimum 60:1 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, and 1/4” whip hose. This coating is a low VOC compliant material. If shop conditions require a viscosity adjustment, thin with Toluene or Xylene.
Stripe coat welds and apply 2 spray coats

Cure Time And
Temperature
When application of the complete coating system has been approved, the coating can be cured by:
Forced Hot Air – electrically heated air or propane or natural gas combustion heated air only.
6 hours at minimum 200°F (93°C) – maximum 250°F (122°C). Increase temperature 50°F (10°C) per hour to minimum temperature.
All temperatures are substrate temperatures.
