Product Data Sheet Awlgrip Topcoat (Spray) G/H Line Intended Uses Awlgrip Topcoat (Spray) is a two component, polyester based, light-fast, linear aliphatic polyurethane coating with long lasting gloss and colour retention, and outstanding chemical resistance. Do not use below the waterline. A low maintenance coating. Do not wax, buff, compound or polish. Specification Data Volume Solids Specific Gravity Available Packs Converter Reducer Equipment Cleaning Typical Shelf Life Theoretical Coverage Application Methods Conventional Spray, HVLP Spray Theoretical Coverage Per Coat (at recommended DFT) 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. VOC All VOC information contained herein is theoretical (unless otherwise stated). Actual VOC content may vary by batch and when tested via standard test methodology. Product As Supplied (without reducer) g/l Awlgrip Topcoat (Spray) Surface Preparation The surface preparation advice provided, and equipment suggestions, can be used as a guide. Preparation techniques and results will vary according to individual conditions, equipment choice/condition and other factors. Testing on a non-critical area should be carried out prior to full-scale preparation. For best results, Awlgrip colours should be applied over properly prepared 545 Epoxy Primer.. Awlgrip colours may also be applied over recently applied Awlgrip topcoats/showcoats - consult your local technical sales representative for advice. Awlgrip High Gloss Clear (G3005) can be applied over dark Awlgrip colours which have been sanded with 320-400 grit paper. Do not apply G3005 over white or pastel colours. Do not apply G3005 directly to bare wood. The primed surface must be clean and dry. Achieving maximum gloss and distinction of image requires the primer to be smooth sanded with 280-400 grit paper before topcoat application. Using a contrasting mist coat of lacquer primer as a "guide coat" is recommended. Smooth sanding until all of the "guide coat" is removed indicates a texture free surface. Mixing & Reduction Mixing and reduction requirements will vary according to individual conditions, climate, equipment choice/condition and other factors. Mixing and application of a small sample before full scale application is recommended. Application Methods Recommended Thinning Spraying Viscosity Conventional Spray Conventional Spray Conventional Spray Conventional Spray Mix by volume one part Awlgrip Topcoat base component with one part Awlcat #2 (G3010) spray converter to a smooth, homogenous mixture. Reducer addition level required to achieve 14 seconds viscosity (DIN4 or equivalent) varies colour to colour. For standard conventional spray application this can be attained by adding up to 25% reducer, using the correct spray reducer appropriate for conditions. Clear coats and painting in high temperature conditions may require additional reduction. Application Application equipment and parameters are given as a guide. Actual equipment choices will vary according to application conditions, equipment choice/condition and other factors. Testing on a non-critical area should be carried out prior to full-scale application. Contact your local technical service representative for further advice if necessary. Apply a light, smooth, slightly wet tack coat to the surface. Allow this coat to "flash off" for 15 to 45 minutes before applying the second coat.. Then apply the second coat as an almost full wet coat. Allow the second coat to "flash off" for 30-45 minutes until only slightly tacky before applying a third coat. Coats two and three are not "full, wet" coats. The third coat should be just heavy enough to obtain full hide (opacity) or colour coverage. Please refer to your local representative or visit http://www.awlgrip.com for further information. Typically three coats are recommended for spray applications. Spray applying certain colours may require 4 or more coats to obtain full hide (opacity) or Awlgrip, the AkzoNobel logo and other products mentioned in this publication are trademarks of AkzoNobel. ©AkzoNobel 2015 colour coverage. 1 of 2 Do not apply paint materials to surfaces less than 3°C (5°F) above dew point, or to surfaces warmer than 41°C (105°F). Ref:3415 AwlgripAmbient temperature should be minimum 13°C (55°F) and maximum 41°C (10
