Interior=20 Waterborne Urethane Topcoat

Features & Uses

Awlgrip's=20 laboratories have developed a waterborne urethane for = interior=20 applications in engine rooms and other areas where a durable = urethane is required and the application of a solvent borne = coating=20 is impractical. This two component urethane has excellent = solvent=20 resistance to denatured alcohol and acetone as well as = diesel fuel=20 and anti-freeze. Gloss retention and heat resistance to = 180=B0 F. are=20 excellent. Unlike most water based urethanes, Awlgrip's = coating is=20 shelf stable and has excellent hiding characteristics. This = product=20 is available in Awlgrip's most popular white colors and can = be=20 applied by spray, brush, or roller.

Surface Preparation

A = clean, dry=20 surface is essential to the success of any coatings = application.=20 Remember - Clean before sanding. Sanding often melts greases = and=20 oils into the surface making it difficult to obtain a clean = surface.=20 Refer to Awlgrip's 12th Edition Application Guide = (www.uspaint.com)=20 for additional information regarding surface cleaning = products and=20 procedures.

Awlgrip products=20 should be applied over properly prepared 545 Primer in spray = applications, or AWL-QUIK=AE Primer in brush/roller=20 applications.

Mixing=20 & Reduction

Spray:=20 Mix by volume three parts Awlgrip Interior Water Based = Topcoat Base=20 Component with one part Converter to a smooth, homogenous = mixture.=20 Reduce up to 25% with T0149. Overall mix is 3:1:1 by volume. = Example: 9 oz. Base, 3 oz. Converter, 3 oz. T0149. Painting = in high=20 temperature conditions may require additional reduction. 40% = reduction is the maximum recommendation.

Brush/Roller: Mix by volume three parts = Awlgrip=20 Interior Water Based Topcoat Base Component with one part = Converter=20 to a smooth, homogenous mixture. Reduce 15-25% with T0149. = Overall=20 mix is 3:1:=BE or 1 by volume. Example: 9 oz. Base, 3 oz. = Converter,=20 2-3 oz. T0149. Painting in high temperature conditions may = require=20 additional reduction. 40% reduction is the maximum = recommendation.=20 At 15% reduction the material brushes fine, but spray = application=20 has excessive orange peel.

Application Instructions

General: The=20 primed surface must be clean and dry. Achieving maximum = gloss and=20 distinction of image requires the primer be smooth sanded = with=20 220-320 grit paper before topcoat application. Using a = contrasting=20 mist coat of lacquer primer as a "guide coat" is = recommended. Smooth=20 sanding until all the "guide coat" is removed indicates a = texture=20 free surface.

Two = to three=20 coats are recommended for spray applications. Brush/Roller=20 applications require two to three coats. Regardless of = application=20 method two coats is the minimum! Topcoating cannot be done = in one=20 coat!

Spray=20 Application: Apply a light, smooth, slightly wet tack = coat to=20 the surface. Allow tack coat to "flash off" 5 to 10 minutes. = Then=20 apply a full, wet coat to achieve color coverage (i.e., = hide) and=20 film thickness requirements. If preferred, three coats may = be used.=20 Allow the second coat to "flash off" 5 to 10 minutes until = only=20 slightly tacky before applying third coat. In three coat=20 applications, coats two and three are not "full, wet" coats. = The=20 second coat is a slightly heavy tack coat with the third = coat just=20 wet enough to obtain full hide (opacity) or color=20 coverage.

Brush/Roller=20 Application: Apply Awlgrip Topcoat in two to three coats = of 1.5=20 to 2.5 mils WFT each. Allow 4-16 hours between each coat. = Sanding=20 between coats with 280 to 400 grit paper will provide a = smoother=20 finish.

On = large=20 interior surfaces first roll the Awlgrip Topcoat and then = smooth the=20 roller stipple by lightly tipping the surface with a brush. = This can=20 be done with 2 painters working side by side (i.e., 1 = rolling and 1=20 tipping), or with 1 painter rolling approximately 6 square = feet and=20 then tipping that area before rolling any = further.

Do = not apply=20 paint materials to surfaces warmer than 105=B0F or colder = than 55=B0F.=20 Do not attempt to cure products at temperatures below = 55=B0F. Pot Life=20 5 hours.
