U-30 2K WB Satin Urethane Acrylic Hybrid - Pigmented

U-30 is a breakthrough technology combining urethane and acrylic characteristics to create a unique, zero-VOC water-based topcoat. By combining our hybrid urethane/acrylic resin with our proprietary aliphatic hardener blend we are able to create a high-solids, pigmented, satin finish that will not yellow, maintains its existing sheen and passes 2500 MEK double rubs! It is manufactured only in a satin sheen. If a gloss finish is desired, see the data sheet for U-20 2K WB Gloss Urethane.

Uses and Benefits

U-30 is primarily used as a pigmented topcoat due to its unsurpassed UV, mar and abrasion resistance. It can be applied to floors and walls and adheres well to many substrates including concrete, gypsum, cement board, metals, vinyl, PVC and fiberglass. It can also be applied direct to concrete as a primer and topcoat.

Limitations

U-30 is designed to be applied at 4-6 mils as a top coat on floors and walls. Allowing to puddle will have a negative effect on the finish. Ideal application temperatures to be between 60-90°F. Cooler temperatures and high humidity will increase cure times. Warmer temperatures and low humidity will decrease working and cure times. Verify that substrate temperature is 5 degrees above the dewpoint during application and cure of material to avoid a potential blush or condensation.

Preparation

The preparation method for each project is determined by a full understanding of the substrate to be coated, the chemistry of the coating system being used, the coating system thickness, and numerous other factors. The coating installer should fully read and understand ICRI Guideline NO. 310.2R-2013 and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153 before starting preparatory work. The aim, of preparing a substrate for coating applications, is to roughen the surface, remove weak layers, contaminants, dirt, debris and present a solid, clean, dry substrate for the primer.
