Technical Information Spar Varnish
Physical and chemical data
- Basis of the binder: alcyd resin
- Colour: colourless
- Smell: neutral
- Degree of gloss (at measurement angle 60° acc. to DIN 67530):
glossy - Efficiency:
750 ml are sufficient for approx. 8 m² - Drying time (at 20°C, 65% relative air humidity):
Surface-dry after approx. 6 hours
Coatable after 24 hours
The drying time depends on surrounding temperature, air humidity and absorpitivity of the wooden ground. - Cleaning of tools: immediately after use with brush cleaner
- Storage stability:
5 years if appropriate storage provided (=10°-25°C, relative air humidity of max. 60%) in the unopened original container.
Do not store below 5°C - Size: metal tins with 750 ml
Environment and labelling
Environmentally sound: European Aerosols is committed to apply formulations without restricted or critical ingredients and to achieve best possible performance. The caps and packagings are made of recyclable material.
Disposal: Only the completely emptied cans should be put into the recycling skip or appropriate container for reclaimable refuse. Cans which are not empty should be disposed off as "special refuse".
Marking/Labelling: All products made by European Aerosols comply with the actual labelling regulations according to Preparation Guideline 1999/45/EG. All aerosols correspond to TRGS 200 and TRG 300 as well as to aerosol guideline 75/324/EWG in the actually valid version.
Preparation of the ground:
In order to ensure adhesion and to achieve best image of painting, prepare the surface as follows:
- The areas to be painted have to be clean, dry, dust- and fat-free, firm and bearing.
- Old paintings: when intact clean and sand, otherwise with a paint remover.
- Remove without residues flaking, not bearing coatings.
- The minimum temperature for material and surroundings is 5°C
Painting:
- Stir well before use.
- Brush with a glazing brush or roll with a synthetic roller oder use an airless gun (bring with universal thinner to spray viscosity.
- Proposal: 3 paintings with Spar Varnish. Dilute intermediate coatings with approx. 5 % white spirit. Sand slightly between the work steps
- If used in outside premises, apply a coat of wood primer.
- Do not work in the sun or during rain. Apply only over water. Cover directly weathered areas outside with lasures or any other covering material (e.g. synthetic paint).
- Clean the tools immediately after use with a brush cleaner.
Tips for an optimal result:
- Start to brush at corners or edges. Use therefore a brush.
- Then apply coating in cross-coats.
- Consider a drying time of 24 hours between the layers.
- Can be used with tools for solvent-based laquers.
