PRODUCT DATA SHEET Awlcraft SE Features & Uses Awlcraft SE is a revolutionary new topcoat encompassing solids, metallics, pearls and effect pigments and is fast drying with excellent opacity. Awlcraft SE is designed to work as one layer of a multi-part system. The Awlcraft SE imparts the colour and effect and is then topcoated with a clear high gloss finish topcoat to give gloss and protection. This combination forms a high performance, high gloss robust topcoat system. Awlcraft SE provides coverage, effect finish (solid, metallic, pearl or effect) and is applied to the primer or previous Awlgrip/Awlcraft topcoat finish. Its fast drying formulation allows multiple coats to be applied within a day reducing working time overall. Notes:- Awlcraft SE topcoats must be applied over the appropriate Awlgrip primer or Awlgrip/Awlcraft 2000 topcoat that has cured 1224 hours and has been sanded until all gloss is removed. Specification Data Type: Two Component Basecoat Finish. Color: See color card and/or your Awlgrip Technical Sales Representative. Packaging: Available in 1 Gallon and 1 Quart containers. Theoretical Coverage: 802 Sq. Ft./Gallon (19.8m 2/l) at one mil dry (25 microns). 401-802 Sq. Feet (10.0-19.8m2) at recommended dry film thickness. Calculated for mixed base, reducer and converter. Coverage calculations are based on theoretical transfer efficiency of 100%. Actual coverage rate obtained will vary according to equipment choice, application techniques, part size, and application environment. Recommended Wet Film Thickness: 2-4 mils (50-100 microns) total of 2 or more coats. Recommended Dry Film Thickness: 1-2 mils (25-50 microns) total of 2 or more coats. Anticipated Cure Time at 77°F, 50% R.H: 1 hours to tape free; 1 day to light service; 7 days for full cure. Recoatability: Spray applications consist of 2 coats applied with 10-20 minutes ambient flash off time. Exact time will vary with temperature, project size, and film thickness applied. Awlcraft 2000 clear coat can be applied after 1 hour at 77°F (25°C) but before 24 hours of cure. The last coat of basecoat should be completely matt before clearcoating. If sanding is desired, apply 2 coats of Awlcraft 2000 Clear (F3029) and allow curing over night before sanding. Awlcraft SE which has been allowed to cure more than 24 hours must be sanded and recoated with Awlcraft SE before recoating with F3029 clear coat.
