Product Description

Chemlite is a two component polyurethane finish for interior use. The Chemlite system provides exceptional resistance to discolouration and gives a crosslinked finish that is tough and durable. The coating contains UV absorbers to minimize discolouration of light sensitive substrates.

Uses

Chemlite is an excellent choice for finishing fine furniture, cabinetry and all other wood surfaces intended for interior use. Chemlite is also “water-white” meaning it is exceptional over pigmented basecoats where colour is important.

Surface Preparation

Topcoats should be well sanded using 240, 280 or 320 grit stearated paper.

General Information

Mix the desired amount of material and apply 4-5 mils wet. Do not use excess reducer (>10%), this product is relatively low solids and will appear ‘hungry’ if too much thinner is added.
The relative humidity in the application and drying rooms should never exceed 75%. Viscosity on the catalyzed material should be monitored regularly to maintain a consistent appearance.
Mixed product will contain 999-067, an isocyanate based co reactant. Please follow all precautions associated with handling and use of these materials.
Total recommended film thickness of Chemlite is not to exceed 6 mils dry.

The sealer for this product is 436-2104.

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.
