Conditioner Part Number 159201
Neutralizer Part Number 159202
Final surface preparation is accomplished with M-Prep Conditioner A immediately followed by M-Prep Neutralizer 5.
Conditioner A is a mild phosphoric-based acid compound. It acts as a mild etchant and accelerates the cleaning process. Neutralizer 5 is an ammonia-based material. It neutralizes any chemical reaction introduced by the Conditioner A which produces an optimum surface condition for the strain gage adhesive.

Protective Coatings
Sensor installations are protected with an initial coating of M-Coat C,
then an application of 3145 RTV. |
 | M-Coat C
Part Number 159204
M-Coat C is a solvent thinned RTV silicone rubber that cures to a tough rubbery transparent film. The coating has good all-around mechanical and electrical properties and is completely non-corrosive. Film thickness 0.015-0.02 inches per coat, good water splash protection, and chemical resistance.
