Wood varnish

Wood varnish Transparent varnish based on modified alkyd resin with good hardness, chemical resistance and elasticity. The mechanical and chemical resistance of this product makes it suitable for the application as a topcoat for almost any wood works for internal use

Properties and Areas of Use

– Tough, hard wearing flexible non yellowing film, with good hardness.
– Good chemical, and water resistance
– Cures at low temperatures

Suitable Surfaces

– Wood must be abraded with sand paper No. 320 and primed with proper wood sealer

Application Conditions

Substrate temperature should be 10°C or above for application and during cure and a minimum of
3°C above the dew point. Adequate dry air ventilation is recommended for optimum drying.
