Product Description

Plasticolor White is an acid curing high-solids fast drying Reactive Amino Coating (RAC) with good building properties. This is a fast building product due to its high solid content (53% volume). It gives a smooth, knock-proof and hardwearing surface resisting influence from alcohol, water, etc.

Uses

Plasticolor White is used as the final coat over wood, plywood, chipboard, etc. meant for interior use. This product is recommended for kitchen cabinets, high build office or residential furniture as well as many other interior wood applications where high build and durability are required.

Surface Preparation

Primer should be sanded using #280/320 grit stearated paper before application of the topcoat and must be recovered within 8 hours after sanding. Care should be taken during sanding to avoid sanding through the primer. Plasticolor White must not be applied over metal, old oil finish or nitrocellulose lacquer.

General Information

Catalyze and reduce material as recommended. Contact with metal surfaces should be avoided once the Plasticolor White has been catalyzed. To ensure proper sheen, the catalyzed material should be agitated at all times. Plasticolor enamel must be thoroughly stirred, while adding hardener and reducers in the recommended ratio. Apply 3-5 mils wet on sanded surface. A subsequent coat can be applied after complete cure and a good sanding with a #280/320 grit paper is necessary to obtain a good adhesion. Dry film thickness of topcoat must not exceed 3 mils. Total dry film thickness of system should not exceed 6 mils.

Gloss Plasticolor may be rubbed and polished to a dirt free high gloss finish. Polishing methods should be discussed with your technical representative.

To obtain complete cure, the primer must be applied at a temperature above 18ºC and relative humidity below 65%. When drying, this product is not to be exposed to ammonia vapors. Finished surface must not be cleaned with ammonia containing products.

Dry times are greatly affected by film build, porosity of substrate, air movement as well as heat and humidity. Temperatures are based on actual board temperature. This may vary depending on length of time for boards to reach these temperatures. Minimum curing temperatures of 64°F/18°C must be maintained throughout the curing cycle to achieve the film integrity as stated in product features.
