VICOTE™ COATINGS 700 Series | Africa & Middle East |
VICOTE™ 701, 702, 703, 704, 705 Powder Coatings
VICOTE™ is the brand name for VICTREX™ PEEK polymer-based coatings. VICOTE Coatings are only available through Victrex or its preferred coater network. Contact Victrex for further details.
PROPERTIES
VICOTE 701-705 grades are specially developed powder coatings. They are available in various average particle sizes from 10 - 50 microns. The powders are off-white in color and are available in various melt viscosities depending on the film thickness and level of melt flow required. Typical film thicknesses range from < 100 microns up to 500 microns. Film thicknesses above 1 mm are possible by building up the coating thickness by the hot flocking technique.
Like other non-coating grades of VICTREX PEEK polymer, VICOTE Coatings are thermoplastic in nature and exhibit flow above the melt temperature. When processed using the correct guidelines, the coatings will exhibit the excellent properties that VICTREX PEEK polymer is renowned for.
- High continuous use temperature of 260°C
- Excellent wear, abrasion and cut through resistance at these high temperatures
- Excellent chemical and radiation resistance
- Low level of extractables
- Hydrolysis resistant
- Inherently flame retardant
SUBSTRATES AND PREPARATION
VICOTE coatings can be applied to most ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A primer is not required.
- Cast metals need to be de-gassed in an oven to prevent pin holes in the coating surface. Aluminium may be coated. However, the mechanical properties of the Aluminium will be affected at VICOTE coatings processing temperatures.
- Substrates should be free from grease, oils and corrosion prior to coating. Solvent degreasing and grit blasting with Aluminium Oxide with final solvent wash should ensure a suitable surface for coating.
Note: phosphate pretreated substrates are not recommended for VICOTE coating grades as the high processing temperatures required for processing can result in delamination of the coating.
PROCESSING
Conventional electrostatic spray equipment is suitable for VICOTE coating products. Ovens should be capable of attaining up to 450°C. For general processing information consult the VICOTE powder coating guide.
- By following the processing guide, smooth coatings should be achievable. VICOTE materials are semi-crystalline thermoplastics, and as with all these types of products, shrinkage will take place when the coating cools. Depending on the mass of the substrate, coating thickness and rate of cooling will determine the amount of shrinkage.
- Normally processed and cooled coatings should result in crystalline coatings, which should not require further post processing treatment. However, an increase in crystallinity may enhance certain properties such as wear and scratch resistance. To anneal the coating, the part should be placed in an air circulating oven and the temperature raised at 10°C per minute to 250°C and held at that temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- With coated parts that are subject to a high service temperature, it may be beneficial to anneal the parts at 10°C above the maximum service temperature to prevent further volume change of the coating.
Note: The colour of the final coating when using VICOTE 700 series natural resins may depend on the substrate. For example, if a thin VICOTE Coating is applied, the processing temperatures will turn some steels blue and may impart a blue/grey colour to the final VICOTE Coating.
STORAGE AND HANDLING CONSIDERATIONS
- VICOTE boxes should be stored in a clean dry environment and should not be stored with the lids and internal liner opened as this may result in airborne dust contaminating the product, which could cause coating defects.
- VICOTE Powder Coatings are packed in 10kg strong cardboard boxes with the VICOTE logo on the outside. Smaller quantities are available on request.
- The powders have an indefinite storage life if the powder is kept sealed in its original box.
- Drying the powders at 150°C for 3 hours or 120°C overnight is recommended before use.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Before applying VICOTE Powder Coatings, read the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and the processing guide, available from Victrex.
- VICOTE natural coating resins should only be applied using suitable local exhaust ventilation system.
- Care should be taken not to inhale dust, vapors and fumes evolved during processing.
- VICOTE Coatings must only be applied and processed where Local Extract Ventilation (LEV) is available.
- Washing of hands and good housekeeping are a prerequisite before handling these products.
Note: these products are not for human implantation.

Note: Phosphate pre-treated substrates are not recommended for VICOTE Coatings grades as the high processing temperatures required for processing can result in de-lamination of the coating.
SPRAYING
A conventional gravity fed spray gun with a nozzle size between 0.7 and 1.0mm has been found suitable for applying VICOTE dispersions. Edges of components should be sprayed first before applying a complete coating. An air pressure to the gun of between 35 and 50 psi has been found to be a suitable spray pressure. Spray at right angles to the substrate wherever possible. The spray gun and cup can be cleaned with water after use.
PROCESSING
For general processing information consult the VICOTE dispersion coating guides. Coated parts should be dried in air for 5 minutes then dried in an oven for 5 minutes at 120°C before placing in an oven at 400°C to melt and fuse the coating.
By following the processing guide smooth coatings should be achievable. Because VICOTE materials are semi crystalline thermoplastics, as with all these types of products shrinkage will take place when the coating cools. Depending on the mass of the substrate, coating thickness and rate of cooling will determine the amount of shrinkage.
Normally processed and cooled coatings should result in crystalline coatings which should not require further post processing treatment. However, an increase in crystallinity may enhance certain properties such as wear and scratch resistance. To anneal the coating the part should be placed in an air circulating oven and the temperature raised at 10°C per minute to 250°C and held at that temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
With coated parts that are subject to a high service temperature it may be beneficial to anneal the parts at 10°C above the maximum service temperature to prevent further volume change of the coating. Note: The colour of the final coating when using VICOTE F809 natural may depend on the substrate. For example, VICOTE processing temperatures will turn some steels blue and may impart a blue/grey colour to the final VICOTE Coating.
STORAGE AND HANDLING CONSIDERATIONS
VICOTE drums should be stored in a clean dry environment and should not be stored with the lids removed as this may result in airborne dust contaminating the product, which could cause coating defects.
The VICOTE dispersions will soft settle after prolonged standing. They can be re- dispersed readily by stirring of the liquid suspension. The drums can also be rolled and re-disperse to ensure homogeneity. High shear dispersing should be avoided as the wetting agent is prone to shear thinning. It is recommended that the dispersions are not allowed to freeze. Optimum storage temperature is 5°C – 25°C.
VICOTE F809 natural is packed in 20 kg polythene UN drums enclosed in a strong cardboard box with the VICOTE logo.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before applying VICOTE dispersions, read the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and the Processing Guide, available from Victrex.
VICOTE F809 natural resins contain fluoropolymers which must only be applied where Local Extract Ventilation (LEV) is available with the gasses removed completely from the work area. The hot gasses given off during melt processing can cause flu like symptoms. Care should be taken not to inhale such gasses; also contact of the polymer with tobacco products should be avoided. Washing of hands and good housekeeping are a prerequisite before and after handling these products.

VICOTE™ COATINGS F817 | Africa & Middle East |
VICOTE F817 Enhanced Adhesion Grade
VICOTE is the brand name for the Victrex range of coatings based on VICTREX PEEK polymer. The VICOTE dispersions are available through Victrex plc or its preferred coater network. Contact Victrex plc for further details.
VICOTE dispersions are aqueous based, however there may be small amounts of solvent present. Refer to the appropriate MSDS sheet for details.
SUBSTRATES AND PREPARATION
VICOTE F817 can be applied to most ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Cast metals need to be de-gassed in an oven to prevent pin holes in the coating surface. Aluminium and other thermally sensitive substrates may be coated however the mechanical properties of the substrate may be affected when exposed to VICOTE processing temperatures.
The VICOTE F817 enhanced adhesion grade can be used on metal substrates where limited surface roughening is allowed or desired. When using this VICOTE grade the adhesion to a non-roughened or grit blasted surface is much higher than using the standard VICOTE dispersions. VICOTE F817 will withstand 24 hours boiling water test on non-grit blasted stainless steel without loss of adhesion.
Note: Although roughening the metal surface may not be required, removal of oils and greases must be undertaken to obtain the optimum adhesion. Rust and mill scale would need to be removed by conventional grit blasting while either thermal degreasing or a conventional vapour degreasing step should be employed to remove oils and greases. Once this is done the substrate should not be
handled with bare hands.
Note: Phosphate pretreated substrates are not recommended for VICOTE grades as the high processing temperatures required for processing can result in de-lamination of the coating.
SPRAYING
A conventional gravity fed spray gun with a nozzle size between 0.7 and 1.8mm has been found suitable for applying VICOTE dispersions. Edges of components should be sprayed first before applying a complete coating. An air pressure to the gun of between 35 and 50 psi has been found to be a suitable spray pressure.

STORAGE AND HANDLING CONSIDERATIONS
VICOTE drums should be stored in a clean dry environment and should not be stored with the lids removed as this may result in airborne dust contaminating the product, which could cause coating defects.
The VICOTE dispersions will soft settle after prolonged standing. They can be re-dispersed readily by stirring of the liquid suspension. The drums can also be rolled to agitate the dispersion and re-disperse. High shear dispersing should be avoided as the wetting agent is prone to shear thinning. Although it is recommended that the dispersion is not allowed to freeze, re-dispersing after thawing is possible. Optimum storage temperature is 5°C – 25°C.
VICOTE F817 is packed in 20 kg polythene UN drums enclosed
in a strong cardboard box with the VICOTE logo. The product has a shelf life of 12 months if kept in its original container with the lid securely fastened and ideally should not be used after this time.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before applying VICOTE dispersions, read the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and the processing guide, available from Victrex plc.
VICOTE F817 should be only applied using suitable exhaust ventilation. Care should be taken not to inhale fumes or vapours. The washing of hands and good housekeeping are a prerequisite before handling these products.
