  <begin subtitles> 00:00:09:11 00:00:11:10 Hi, I am Mark Rubio, energy 00:00:11:11 00:00:13:02 business manager at Sherwin-Williams 00:00:13:03 00:00:14:24 Protective and Marine Coatings. 00:00:14:25 00:00:17:12 Today I have with me Mr. Neil 00:00:17:13 00:00:18:25 Wilds our subject matter expert in 00:00:19:00 00:00:20:21 CUI and insulation. 00:00:20:22 00:00:22:11 And we're going to discuss the new 00:00:22:12 00:00:24:12 technical innovation in CUI, 00:00:24:13 00:00:25:17 which is Heat-Flex Ace. 00:00:26:22 00:00:28:22 So Neil, what this a stand 00:00:28:23 00:00:29:17 for? 00:00:29:18 00:00:31:16 Well, Mark, as we're utilizing new 00:00:31:17 00:00:33:11 solvent free technology to meet the 00:00:33:12 00:00:35:12 needs of CUI, it stands for 00:00:35:13 00:00:37:18 advanced CUI Epoxy, 00:00:37:19 00:00:39:00 which is a good description for 00:00:39:01 00:00:41:04 something so revolutionary. 00:00:41:05 00:00:43:02 Well, we previously discussed 00:00:43:03 00:00:44:02 the benefits of MIO or 00:00:45:12 00:00:46:17 micacious iron oxide and CUI 00:00:46:18 00:00:47:12 coatings. 00:00:47:13 00:00:49:11 How this ace works so well 00:00:49:12 00:00:50:16 without MIO. 00:00:50:17 00:00:51:22 Oh, that's a really good question, 00:00:51:23 00:00:52:23 Mark. 00:00:52:24 00:00:54:23 When we were looking for ways 00:00:54:24 00:00:56:23 to further improve CUI coatings, 00:00:56:24 00:00:58:11 we decided to look at the resin 00:00:58:12 00:01:00:13 chemistry as this is a fundamental 00:01:00:14 00:01:02:21 part of the coating system. 00:01:02:22 00:01:04:17 The conditions found in CUI are 00:01:04:18 00:01:06:16 an aggressive mix of salts, 00:01:06:17 00:01:08:06 PH, and heat. 00:01:08:07 00:01:10:02 Sherwin-Williams has a long, 00:01:10:03 00:01:11:24 well-directed history in liming 00:01:11:25 00:01:13:08 technology. So this is where we 00:01:13:09 00:01:15:07 began with a resin system 00:01:15:08 00:01:16:21 has good chemical resistance, a good 00:01:16:22 00:01:18:05 temperature resistance. 00:01:18:06 00:01:20:03 And this can form the basis of 00:01:20:04 00:01:22:07 a new technology platform for 00:01:22:08 00:01:23:07 CUI. 00:01:23:13 00:01:25:09 So Neil, tell us, how does this ACE 00:01:25:10 00:01:26:09 perform. 00:01:26:22 00:01:28:03 As this was such a unique 00:01:28:04 00:01:29:19 technology? We tried to test it 00:01:29:20 00:01:31:10 vigorously. We tried to break it. 00:01:32:13 00:01:34:07 CUI simulation testing according to 00:01:34:08 00:01:37:04 MP. MPP 21442 00:01:37:05 00:01:39:08 an ISO 19277 00:01:39:09 00:01:41:06 showed performance way above 00:01:41:07 00:01:43:04 any tax policy technology 00:01:43:05 00:01:45:11 on the marketplace in excess of 400 00:01:45:12 00:01:46:19 farenheight and cyclic 00:01:46:20 00:01:48:13 Anti-corrosion performance tests. 00:01:48:14 00:01:51:04 ISO 1294496 00:01:51:05 00:01:52:14 have less than five millimeters, 00:01:52:15 00:01:54:11 corrosion creep well below 00:01:54:12 00:01:56:03 the eight milimeters required for 00:01:56:04 00:01:57:24 monitoring systems 00:01:58:00 00:01:59:20 as the technology solvent, free 00:01:59:21 00:02:01:17 and dry film tolerance is higher 00:02:01:18 00:02:04:01 than conventional epoxy CUI systems, 00:02:04:02 00:02:05:19 which means there means less 00:02:05:20 00:02:07:07 tendency to crack under thermal 00:02:07:08 00:02:08:12 stresses. 00:02:08:13 00:02:09:24 The resin technology allows the 00:02:10:00 00:02:11:04 coatings to resist fall to 00:02:11:05 00:02:13:07 oxidation, which leads to excess 00:02:13:08 00:02:15:12 choking and dry film thickness loss, 00:02:15:13 00:02:16:16 which has been observed in the 00:02:16:17 00:02:18:11 field, the traditional 00:02:18:12 00:02:20:06 solvent and epoxy phenolic. 00:02:20:07 00:02:21:22 The performance truly can change. 00:02:21:23 00:02:22:16 Wow. 00:02:22:17 00:02:23:21 Well, thank you, Neal. 00:02:23:22 00:02:24:24 In addition to the products 00:02:25:00 00:02:26:18 performance, I would like to add 00:02:26:19 00:02:28:08 into mentioned some other unique 00:02:28:09 00:02:29:22 features of the coating. 00:02:29:23 00:02:31:13 It can be applied in one or two 00:02:31:14 00:02:33:14 coats in a wide 00:02:33:15 00:02:35:18 range, and also because it's solvent 00:02:35:19 00:02:37:17 free Heat-Flex ACE also 00:02:37:18 00:02:39:13 reduces carbon footprint and 00:02:39:14 00:02:41:14 it makes it safer for field and 00:02:41:15 00:02:43:13 shop applications. 00:02:43:14 00:02:45:07 We're confident that the superior 00:02:45:08 00:02:47:06 performance of Heat-Flex ACE 00:02:47:07 00:02:49:02 will meet expectations of the owner 00:02:49:03 00:02:50:22 and the applicator, providing a more 00:02:50:23 00:02:53:00 dependable and longer lasting 00:02:53:01 00:02:54:23 organic coating solution to help 00:02:54:24 00:02:57:06 mitigate the risk of CUI. 00:02:57:07 00:02:58:08 We'll look forward to hearing from 00:02:58:09 00:02:59:08 you. <end subtitles>
