CLEARCOAT AQ

CLEARCOAT AQ is a single component, waterborne aliphatic urethane that produces a clear, tough, protective gloss coating. It has excellent adhesion properties and produces a film that is hard, flexible, and chemically resistant. CLEARCOAT AQ has excellent resistance to UV, abrasion, oxidation, humidity, impact and solvents. CLEARCOAT AQ will protect plastic insulation including E.I.F.S. from hydrocarbon solvent damage.

OUTSTANDING FEATURES:
§         Provides a washable surface that meet USDA/FDA requirements for incidental food contact

§         May be used in areas where low-odor application is essential

§         Adheres to most clean substrates, quickly and permanently
§         Protects against wear, weather, and chemical attack
§         Has low toxicity and meets all VOC regulations
§         Good economy of time and labor; easy to handle
§         Produces a film that has good clarity and low gloss
§         Is exceptionally tough, durable, and damage resistant

APPLICATION:
Caution! READ THIS ENTIRE DATA SHEET BEFORE CONTINUING.

Substrate must be sound and free of loose debris, oils, grease or any substance that could interfere with bond. Stir before use with low speed mixing. DO NOT ENTRAIN AIR DURING MIXING. Apply using brush or airless spray technique. Try to apply CLEARCOAT AQ evenly to avoid runs or voids. Apply in 1 or 2 coats at a rate of 3-5 wet mils per coat. Coverage will vary depending on substrate porosity. Allow to fully dry (approximately 2-7 hours, depending on weather conditions) before work continues.


PRECAUTIONS:
Do not ingest. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, flush with clear water for 15 minutes. For contact with eyes, get medical attention in addition to flushing. Wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and full coveralls when handling this material.

LIMITATIONS:
Do not apply to frozen substrates. Do not apply if the temperature falls below 40°F. Avoid applying product in direct sunlight on very hot days. Protect from precipitation for at least 4 hours after application. Shelf life is 18 months in sealed containers. Store indoors in temperatures between 40°F and 90°F.

MAINTENANCE:
CLEARCOAT AQ can be cleaned with mild detergents and water. In the event of damage or loss of gloss due to abrasion, CLEARCOAT AQ may be reapplied directly over itself. Clean tools and equipment with water or soapy water before drying.
