What is Polyurethane?

Polyurethane is a polymer made up of organic units joined by urethane links. It is widely used in flexible and rigid foams, durable elastomers, and high performance adhesive and sealants fibres, seals, gaskets, hard plastic parts, and on and on. You probably have polyurethane in your home right now.

Why is a polyurethane coating used at Noble Form?

Customers demand its durability, smooth finish and unlimited design potential. Noble Form customers know that the polyurethane coating provides a durable, seamless, flexible, waterproof membrane that resists lateral movement, shear, and will allow for normal expansion and contraction.
These attributes provide Noble Form customers with the benefits of a durable, beautiful product that has an easy installation process with no need for specialized tools - saving time and money.

How are the exterior mouldings made?

• Noble Form’s exterior mouldings start with 1.5 pound density of Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS) core. Nobel Form uses only heavy density, virgin and cured EPS as an architectural core. Customers benefit from the sheer strength of this material.
• The foam base is then formed into the exterior moulding’s shape using Computer Assisted Drawings (CAD). You may find what you need right away in our catalogue, but just in case – you can submit your drawing and we will design a custom sample within 24 hours.
• When the shape is finalized, the polyurethane coating is applied to create a hard, plastic-like shell that completely seals the foam from the elements and provides it with high impact strength.
• Finally, Noble Form applies a prime coat that makes the exterior moulding ready to apply the selected finish coat.
• Look at our installation instructions – it’s that easy.

More Benefits of Noble Form’s Polyurethane Coating

• Noble Form’s polyurethane coating is chemical, moisture, impact, and abrasive resistant.
• A prime coat is applied to make the exterior mouldings ready for the contractor’s choice of finish.
• Fire-retardant polyurethane coatings are available to meet strict fire codes.

• 100% solids - the coating system does not use any solvent to dissolve, carry or reduce any of the coating resins. Furthermore, the resins normally still in a liquid state will convert 100% to a solid film after application.
• Noble Form mouldings contain zero volatile organic compounds (VOC)
• The mouldings can be coated with an acrylic modified stucco type finish. Any colour can be embedded. Enjoy the advantage of a maintenance-free, paint-free option.

Seven Steps to Noble Form Quality

• Ensure that the substrate is dry and free of all dust, oil, paint, loose components, grease, or any other “non-bondable” materials.
• Ensure that the surface and temperature is maintained above 40° Fahrenheit or 4° Celsius throughout the process and for at least 24 hours after the installation.

1. Cut mouldings to length and specifications, including miter (angled) cuts. A standard miter saw with a wood finishing blade can be used. Hand cutting can be done with a wood cutting hand saw with a miter box.

2.   Apply the adhesive in vertical pattern on the back of the moulding using a 3/8” notched trowel. Apply the adhesive onto the butt-ends of the mouldings.

3. While the adhesive is wet, immediately install the moulding and press it into place by slightly moving it back and forth. Remove excess adhesive before it dries.

• Moulding Joins should be tight with no gaps. Minimal gaps should not exceed 1/16”. Fill any gaps with Styrofoam slivers.
• Some mouldings may require a temporary support until the adhesive is completely dry. Refer to our specifications if permanent mechanical fasteners are required.

• Ensure that all mouldings are fully cured and secured.

4.   Use a regular paint brush moistened with water to smooth out the excess cementation’s coating. Allow to dry completely. Remove all temporary supports and cover permanent fasteners.

• Always wear eye protection, long sleeve coverall and protective gloves to prevent direct physical contact with this product.
• “B” component should be stirred prior to use.

5.   Pour equal amounts of components “A” and “B” into a clean container and stir thoroughly.

6.   After mixing, use an ordinary paint brush to apply a thin tacky coat of Noble Form’s hard coat over all joints, spreading evenly and smoothing out edges.

7. You can start applying paint while the coating is still tacky. Clean all surfaces from dust, dirt and other contaminants. Apply the finish coat according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
