APPLICATION AND USE

Preparation

Follow the
surface preparation instructions shown on the label of the finish or
varnish to which the Perfection Matting Additive is being added.

Method

The level of
gloss will decrease where the amount of Perfection Matting Additive
is increased. See 'Mixing' for guidelines on addition levels. Apply
the standard finish first and finish off with the mixed (matted)
material as a last coat, or apply multiple coats until full opacity
is achieved.

Hints

Mixing Stir individual products prior to
mixing. Mix part A (base) and part B (curing agent) of the
Perfection Matting Additive (3:1 mix ratio by volume). Allow to
stand for 5 minutes to allow entrapped air and gases to escape prior
to mixing with reacted finish. Mix part A (base) and part B (curing
agent) of the polyurethane that is to be matted. Allow to stand for
5 minutes to allow entrapped air and gases to escape. Add required
amount of Perfection Matting Additive. Stir thoroughly.

GUIDELINES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
2 parts mixed finish/varnish : 1
part mixed Perfection Matting Additive = Semi Gloss.
1 part
mixed finish/varnish : 1 part mixed Perfection Matting Additive =
Satin.
1 part mixed finish/varnish : 2 parts mixed Perfection
Matting Additive = Matt.
Test applications are recommended
before proceeding. The actual levels of Perfection Matting Additive
required may vary somewhat from colour to colour. It should also be
noted that the exact gloss level achieved will vary slightly with
film build applied.

Other Brushed reduced gloss product may cure with an
uneven gloss level if not applied with great care and attention.

Some Important
Points

The addition of
Perfection Matting Additive to a finish will have minimal effect on
its colour or its application/overcoating/drying characteristics.
Perfection Matting Additive will provide a reduced mar-resistant
finish and therefore should not be used on walkways etc. When used
with Perfection, the addition of Matting Additive will reduce
opacity, hiding power, of the product, so it is important that the
necessary number of coats of unmatted finish has been applied first.
As with all types of reduced-gloss coatings, the finish will not
have the same stay-clean properties as a full-gloss coating. Product
temperature should be minimum 15°C/59°F and maximum 35°C/95°F.
Ambient temperature should be minimum 5°C/41°F and maximum
35°C/95°F. Substrate temperature should be minimum 5°C/41°F and
maximum 35°C/95°F.

Compatibility/Substrates

Suitable for
use with 2-component polyurethanes. Not suitable for use with
acrylic based polyurethanes.
