PROTECTOR SHIELD GLOSS
Transparent two-component polyurethane varnish (2-C)
PROTECTOR SHIELD gloss is a spreadable two-component acrylic/aliphatic polyurethane based coating used as a top coat (finish) on floor and wall applications (decorative cementitious mortar, concrete, industrial floors, stone, etc.), metal surface paints, as well as structures near marine areas. It is also suitable for swimming pools as a protective coating on the epoxy paint. It waterproofs the surface while giving it high mechanical strength – especially in abrasion and impact – and resistance to stains. Finally, it has excellent resistance to UV radiation and does not turn yellow. It polymerizes with the humidity of the atmosphere, the subsoil and air and gives a glossy surface. Homogeneous, ready-to-use industrial product of consistently high quality. It ensures good workability, increased application speed, it is economical and provides excellent results.
Two-component transparent polyurethane coating (2-C) Although the specifications and instructions set out in this bulletin have been prepared to the best of our skill, knowledge and experience, they should be taken as indicative results and require verification after many applications. Users to whom this product is addressed should verify its suitability for the intended application. The end user is responsible for any result of the use of the product.
• The substrate must be firm, dry and clean of any kind of residues (plasters, powders, paints, oils, etc.). Old coatings, dirt, grease, vegetal matter and dust must be removed with the help of an abrasive machine (sander). Any surface irregularities should be healed and smoothed. Any loose pieces or dust from sanding must be removed. Caution: do not wash the surface with water before the application. • In the case of damp concrete, at least 28 days are required before the application of the material. • The moisture content of the substrate must not exceed 4%. • The PROTECTOR SHIELD gloss is ready for use after the two components have been mixed (for approximately 3 minutes) and allowed to settle for a further 5 minutes. It is applied with a roller in two coats. • The working time is approximately 2 hours (25 °C). • The time between two coats is 24 hours (25 °C). • The accessibility time is 24 hours (25 °C). • For best results, the temperature during the application should be between 5oC and 35oC. Low temperatures slow down the curing, while high temperatures speed it up. High humidity can affect the finish. • Once PROTECTOR SHIELD gloss container is opened and comes into contact with air and atmospheric moisture, its contents must be used in its entirety. In case there is any quantity left in the container after the application, it will harden with time and cannot be used. • The application temperature should be between +12 oC and +35 oC.
• In sets of metal containers of 5 kg (component A + B) and 1 kg (component A + B). • In sealed containers and in a dry environment, protected from frost and prolonged exposure to strong sunlight for 2 years (Component A) and 12 months (Component B) from the date of production.
100 – 200 gr/m2, depending on the type of substrate.
