Description

High-quality 2K acrylic clearcoat for car repairs with a very low content of volatile compounds. The short drying time (3 hours at 20 ° C) combined with the extended pot life of the mixture allows for partial and overall paiting of the entire car body.

PERFORMANCE:
1 liter of the mixture is enough to paint 10 m2 of surface with a a thickness layer of 60 μm.

Advantages

For the repair of small and large areas.
Very high solids content >55%.
Excellent finish.
Easy application.
Great overspray absorption.
Perfect flow.

Substrates

Acrylic clearcoats can be applied over:

Basecoats.
Old paint coatings in good condition after matting and degreasing.

Final drying: 7 days/20°C, 15 min/60°C+4 days/20°C

IR Drying
10÷15 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 enough to paint 10 m2 of surface with a layer thickness of 60 μm.

Polishing and eliminating defects
Usually polishing is unnecessary, as the C38 VHS Clear Coat 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.
