The document details Awlgrip's clear coat systems for marine applications, focusing on Clear-Grip and Awlwood MA systems for interior and exterior wood finishes.
The Awlgrip finish is ultra-clear, enhancing wood's natural beauty while being robust and durable. Benefits include reduced working time due to fast-curing formulation, excellent application properties across various temperatures and humidity levels, and outstanding performance with flexibility and abrasion resistance.
Clear-Grip and Awlwood systems use Flex-Link™ technology for superior flexibility and damage resistance, maintaining the wood's natural appearance and enhancing layer synergy for long-lasting performance.
Specific steps for substrate preparation and coating application are outlined. Clear-Grip involves cleaning, sanding, and applying foundation, build, and finish coatings. Awlwood MA requires similar preparation with additional primer and finish applications.
A comprehensive list of products is provided, including wipe down solvents, corrosion inhibiting treatments, primers, sealers, fairing compounds, reducers, topcoats, and auxiliary products, with base and converter details.

BEYOND JUST LOOKING GOOD… WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT AWLGRIP TOPCOAT? Fully cross-linked, 2-component urethanes – such as Awlgrip – dry when the solvent evaporates, then they cure as the components react to form the urethane molecule.

The longer cure time allows the color pigments to migrate to the substrate and a resin-rich layer forms at the surface. The resin-rich layer provides long-term protection for the pigment particles, improves color and gloss retention,...
