Properties:

A composition of vinyl chloride base resin dispersed in a plasticizer, with or without colorants, stabilizers, and other agents, primarily used as a protective coating on various surfaces against the effects of exposure to various elements, such as weather, fuels, lubricants, acids, and other generally deleterious elements. The compound must be fused at approximately 350 degrees or more to achieve a tough, flexible, and nonporous coating after application. A primer may be used to form a base for adhesion of the compound. See also coating compound, internal boiler surfaces and resin coating, thermosetting.
