Description
2K PU MARINE VARNISH is the ultimate marine grade 2-component aliphatic polyurethane varnish. It is applied to all wood finishes on boats after preparation, such as handrails, doors, windows, tables, etc. It contains special new generation UV filters for superior protection from solar radiation and lasting gloss over time. Its special composition provides a durable finish that ensures excellent resistance to ageing, humidity, and the extreme environmental conditions prevailing at sea. The superior combination of hardness and elasticity guarantees 2K PU MARINE VARNISH the ideal varnish for marine use.

Instructions for use
Surface preparation
Careful surface preparation is very important for optimum finish and durability.
- The substrate should be dry and free from dust, chalk, grease, and any foreign material that may harmfully affect adhesion.
- Old, loose coatings, dirt, fats, oils, organic substances, and dust need to be removed by mechanical means such as a sanding machine or where possible with high pressure washing machine. Carefully remove dust after sanding.
- Light sanding of wood surfaces is necessary. Use 120, 240 and finally 320 grade paper. Carefully remove dust. Internal moisture of wood must not exceed 14%.
- Oily woods (ex. Teak) must be thoroughly degreased with nitro solvent. Then continue with sanding (3).
- Substrates must be completely dry prior to application and rain must be avoided for 48 hours.
- Minimum application temperature 10oC. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or excessive wind.
Priming
If no other primer-sealer is applied, prime new wooden surfaces with 2K PU MARINE VARNISH diluted 20% with solvent DIL X – 100. Apply at least two coats.
Application
- Mix carefully the 2 components taking care to ensure thorough mixing on the walls and the bottom of the pail.
- Allow mixture to stand for 5 minutes.
- Apply the first coat thinned 0 – 10% with a roller, brush, or spray gun.
- You must avoid applying the varnish in heavily - thick coats, since it will not cure properly.
- The second coat may be applied when the first is thoroughly dry: 12h (35oC) – 24h (15oC) depending on ambient temperature. (0-10% thinning)
- It’s advised that you sand with #320 grade paper between coats to ensure super smooth surface and best adhesion.
- For maximum durability, third and fourth coats are required following the steps above.
- The surface is hard dry in 24 hours and final curing is achieved in 7 days (25oC, 65% RH)
Maintenance of surface: wash with a mild detergent and water, and rinse thoroughly.
CLEANING
Tools must be cleaned immediately after use with DIL X – 100 or nitro solvent.
