DESCRIPTION GLYPTAL 1209 BLACK ENAMEL is an air drying or baking gloss interior enamel which was designed for its resistance properties as well as being a protective and decorating coating for electrical equipment. It is similar to GLYPTAL 1201 RED and will give very good oil resistance and good salt spray resistance as well as excellent non-tracking and arc resistance. SUGGESTED USES GLYPTAL 1209 is suggested for the finishing of electrical equipment for interior exposure. It is similar to 1201 in properties other than dielectric strength and may be used for coating small motor stators, field coils, end windings, bus bars, and switch bases. It is also suggested for the protection of surfaces from arcing.
