Childers® Chil-Pruf™ CP-24 Insulation Coating is a reliable asphalt-based cutback coating reinforced with fibers. It is designed as a vapor retarder coating, typically applied over insulation materials on piping and equipment that operate at low to moderately high temperatures. When applied correctly, Chil-Pruf™ offers protection against atmospheric corrosives, chemical dust, fumes, fogs, and moisture.

Advantages

The highest quality asphalt used in Chil-Pruf™ CP-24 provides a higher softening point than other asphalts. This results in a longer service life, greater resistance to mechanical abuse, better weathering characteristics, greater flexibility in the cured coating and extreme resistance to weather cracking.

Uses
  • CHIL-PRUF™ CP-24 has a broad application range as a vapor retarder and weather barrier over many types of insulations, including fibrous glass, polyurethane foams, glass foams and other low temperature insulation materials.
  • It is not to be used with polystyrene foam insulation.
  • CHIL-PRUF™ is recommended for use in cold and dual temperature service.
  • As a vapor retarder coating, it is used to protect insulation over fittings, piping, tanks, tank heads, process vessels and equipment.
  • CHIL-PRUF™ also provides protection for insulation applied on underground pipelines.
Suggested Specifications

Material Preparation

  • Do Not Thin. Stir well, but do not use sticks or boards which would splinter or otherwise contaminate the product.
  • Apply only to clean, dry, oil-free surfaces.
  • Keep container closed when not in use.
  • CP-24 cannot be successfully applied by brush.
  • Not recommended for indoor use.
  • Outdoor horizontal surfaces must always drain completely; a pitch of at least 1⁄2” per foot (4 cm/m) is required.
Preparation and Application Information

Insulated Vertical Surfaces

  • A two-coat application is recommended; each coat is applied at a coverage rate of 4.85 gal./100 sq. ft. for a total coverage rate of 9.7 gal./100 sq. ft., with CHIL-GLAS® #10 Reinforcing Mesh embedded into the first coat (yielding a dry film thickness of 0.09375 inch).

Large Insulated Expanses

  •  For large insulated expanses, such as tank tops or horizontal surfaces, a two-coat application is recommended with CHIL- GLAS® #5 or #10 Glass Fiber Reinforcing Mesh embedded between coats; each coat is applied at a coverage rate of 6.35 gal./100 sq. ft. for a total coverage rate of 12.7 gal./100 sq. ft. (yielding a dry film thickness of 0.125 inch).

Spray Application 

  • The following equipment (or equal) is recommended for spray application of CHIL-PRUFTM CP-24 coating.
