DESCRIPTION
The Uroxsys Marine
Clearcoat range, is
an easy to use, high performance aliphatic polyurethane coating range
specifically created for the unforgiving marine environment. Developed
and extensively trialed over
a decade, this tough, long-lasting system retains the desirable
‘varnish look’ but offers significant gains in durability coupled
with fast and forgiving application properties.
The range consists of a set of primers
available in three natural timber tones along with a clear option. This
is applied as a single coat then over-coated with 5-6 coats of
Marine Aliphatic which is clear and available in gloss or matt.
It is suitable for interior and exterior use on brightwork, (trims, masts, bowspits, spars and cabin walls). It is not recommended for exterior decks. It has been successfully used on Oregon, Teak, Iroko, Spruce, Kauri and Mahogany, with outstanding results.
Performance and application properties of the Uroxsys Marine Clearcoat range:
Application Properties
- All products are single pack: no mixing required.
- Rapid build – multiple coats possible in one day
- Forgiving to high humidity, low temperatures and evenings applications (near dew point).
- Excellent sanding properties: can be hard-sanded the day following application, or the same day in warm conditions, without paper clogging
- Easily brushed, rolled or sprayed
- Suitable for interior and exterior use.
Film Properties
- Very high UV resistance
- Clear, aliphatic (non-yellowing) film
- Excellent toughness and abrasion resistance
- Good flexibility – moves with the substrate
- Microporous; allows moisture within the substrate to permeate through the film
