Description

High quality 2-component HS acrylic clearcoat recommended for complete or fast partial car body repairs. The product creates a hard and crystal clear coating with increased scratch resistance (SR), which does not change the shade of the basecoat colour. Long open time and good stability on vertical elements allow the achievement, if desired, of an orange peel effect (structure) identical to the original factory painting.

EFFICIENCY:
1 litr of mixture is enough to cover a surface of 9 m2 with a layer thickness of 50 μm.

Advantages

  • Crystal clear coating.
  • Very high gloss.
  • Good stability on vertical elements.
  • Long open time and very good overspray absorption.
  • Ability to create the desired structure identical to the original factory painting.
  • Hard and durable finish.
  • High scratch resistance.
  • Availability of 3 versions of hardener (standard, fast, slow)

Substrates

Crystal HS 2:1 2K acrylic clearcoat can be applied over:

  • Base coats.
  • Existing coatings in good condition after sanding and degreasing.

Pot life for the mixture

about 5 hours at 20°C

Number of layers

2 full layers, dry thickness of a single layer approx. 50 µm

RP gun parameters
Nozzle: 1.2÷1.4 mm; Pressure: 2,0÷2,2 bar.
HVLP gun parameters
Nozzle: 1.2÷1.4 mm; Inlet pressure: 2,0 bar.

Flash off time

Between layers: 5 ÷ 7 minutes
Before baking: about 10 minutes

Drying time

Dust free: about 30-35 min.
Ready to polish: after drying overnight
Drying time at 60°C
Clearcoat is ready to polish after baking for about 30 minutes and cooling down (about 2 hours).

Temperatures below 20°C significantly increases the drying time.

IR drying

15÷20 minutes under short wave depending on the total thickness and type of radiator.
Do not exceed maximum temperature of 60°C.
Use according to the recommendations of the equipment manufacturer.
Wait about 10 minutes before starting IR drying.

Performance

1 liter of the mixture is sufficient to coat 9 m2 with 50 μm of layer thickness.

Shading

Make sure you have covered all the surface with the clear coat. You should only shade the surface that has been covered and treated. Use InterTroton FADE OUT THINNER to clean any dust or dirt from the surface and to level out the optical gloss differences between the older and new applied coating.

Polishing and eliminating defects

Usually polishing is unnecessary, as the CRYSTAL HS 2:1 gives the surface a perfect finish immediately after application. However, if some dirt inclusions appear, we recommend removing them and then polishing the surface with an abrasive compound.

General notes

-Do not exceed recommended doses of the hardener!
-The best repair results can be achieved by painting at room temperature. The temperature in the body shop and the temperature of the product should be similar. When working with 2K products, it is recommended to use personal protection equipment. Protect the eyes and airways.
-The rooms should be well ventilated.
- Clean the guns and equipment immediately after use.

Caution: To maintain safety, always follow the instructions given in the MSDS for the products.
