The On-Going Appleton Advantage
Appleton uses a proprietary technique to protect and seal its’ products. The finish and its’ advantages come standard on all
our coated (formerly painted) products, providing superior protection at no extra cost. Epoxy powder coat products last longer,
thus reducing callbacks, lowering total installation and operation costs.
The Advantages:
Independent Testing:
An independent laboratory tested Appleton’s Epoxy Powder Coat Finish against competitive product finishes. The test results
show that our powder-coat finish has more than twice the corrosion resistance than our previous paint finish. It also showed
that our powder-coat finish has almost three times the corrosion resistance as some of our competitions’ standard paint
finishes.
Other tests have shown the epoxy powder coating to have the following physical properties when properly applied:
Impact (ASTM D-2794): 120 in. /lbs. Direct and reverse
Salt Spray Test Results
Corrosion Resistance
Adhesion (ASTM D-2259): No Detachment
3x
Flexibility (ASTM B522): Pass1/8” mandrel
Coating Thickness: 2.0-2.5 mils
2x
Humidity (ASTM D-2247): No Blistering
Salt Spray (ASTM B-117): 1/8” creep after 1,000 hours
1x
Hardness (ASTM D3363): 2H-3H
Melting Point: 90C-120C (194-248F)

Standard
Listing, UL’s most widely known service, means that UL has tested and evaluated representative samples of
your product and determined that they meet UL’s requirements. These requirements are based primarily on UL’s
published Standards for Safety. (Products that bear the UL Mark for Canada have been tested and evaluated to the
appropriate Canadian standards for safety).
UL Classified: Classification
Classification means that UL has tested and evaluated representative samples of your product with respect certain
properties of the product, a limited range of hazards or suitability of use under limited or special conditions. UL
Classifies products to applicable UL requirements and Standards for Safety, as well as to the standards of other
national and international organizations such as the NFPA, ASTM, NSF, ISO and IEC.
Page 3Page 3
Interchangeable Products with an Advantage
Standard on all Appleton coated products. Unilets, lighting and many conduit fittings get the epoxy powder coating as
the final finishing step.
Improved Triple-Coat Finish for malleable iron products. Epoxy powder coating is the third step in our exclusive
Triple-Coat Finish. Malleable iron products have the combined advantages of zinc plating, chromate dip and epoxy
powder coating.
Lasts 2 to 3 times longer. When tested under corrosive conditions, Appleton’s exclusive powder-coat finish lasted 2 to
3 times longer than our competitors’ standard paint finishes.
More flexible than paint. Products are more resistant to mechanical damage since the powder-coat finish does not
crack or chip like painted surfaces.
Environmentally-safe process. Unlike conventional painting processes, the Appleton Epoxy Powder Coat Finish is
completely environmentally safe. Airborne overspray particulates are nonexistent.
Ideal for harsh and corrosive environments. This new generation finish stands up to harsh and corrosive
environments longer. It’s the ideal choice for drilling rigs, chemical plants, refineries, pulp and paper plants, and any
other demanding application.

IEC Product Solutions
There are two major technical standards that govern the use of
electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres worldwide:
1- IEC/CENELEC/ATEX* (common standard following agreement in
1991 on procedures for developing standards)
Inspectable Nickel-Plated
Brass Cable Gland
EEx “e” & “d”
2- NEC** CEC*** (products approved by UL, FM, CSA...).
IEC can be considered as the “international standard” accepted in
nearly every country.
Since 1996, NEC, Article 505, permits IEC Zone style installations
in the US. This offers users a greater variety of installation and
protection methods. For more detailed information consult NEC
Article 505.
Similar changes have been adopted by the CEC.
