SOL 2K HYDRO – TWO-COMPONENT WATER-BASED POLYURETHANE CLEARCOAT

DESCRIPTION AND USES

SOL 2K HYDRO clearcoat is a two-component, water-based polyurethane coating designed for protective and decorative applications on a wide range of surfaces.
Based on the latest generation of polyurethane resin technology, it can be applied to a wide range of surfaces, including concrete, tiles, wood, metals and melamine.

This versatile product is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It retains its original appearance over time, does not yellow or chalk, and offers excellent mechanical and chemical resistance.

Main advantages:

• Excellent impact and wear resistance
• Non-yellowing formulation
• Enhanced adhesion to multiple substrates

AREAS OF APPLICATION

Designed for new builds or renovation projects, SOL 2K HYDRO varnish can be applied to:

Wood and ironwork

Raw or surfaced concrete

Glazed or porous tiles

It can be used on floors, furniture, shutters and chalets.

COMPOSITION AND PREPARATION OF THE MIXTURE

Two-component hydro polyurethane formulation.
The mixture is made in the following proportions:

• 80 parts varnish (resin)
• 20 parts hardener

(proportions expressed by weight, to be strictly adhered to)

Application with a roller: the product is ready to use — do not add water.
Application with a spray gun: 10 to 15% water may be added to facilitate spraying.

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

Use a special polyurethane (PU) roller to ensure even distribution and a smooth finish.

PREPARING THE SURFACE

A clean, dry and sound surface is essential before application.
Carefully remove any grease, oil, dust or residue.

On tiles:

• Perform mechanical sanding (diamond sander).

• Clean, wash and vacuum the surface.
• Fill the joints with a fine smoothing compound, then sand and dust again.

On concrete:

• For new concrete, allow 30 days for drying before application.

• For old surfaces, sand and fill cracks and cavities if necessary.
• The prior application of an epoxy primer (150 mL/m², in one coat) is strongly recommended in order to optimise adhesion.

IMPLEMENTATION

Preparation of the mixture

Pour the resin and hardener in the proportions provided.
Mix mechanically at low speed (maximum 300 revolutions per minute) for approximately 2 minutes, in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture without excess air.

Application

• Apply a first coat with a PU roller at a rate of 8 to 12 m²/L.

• Leave to dry for 24 hours.

• Then apply a second coat in the same manner.
• Leave to dry for another 24 hours before light use.

The film will be fully cured after 8 to 10 days.

Cleaning equipment: with clean water immediately after use.

DRYING

Reference conditions: 20 °C / relative humidity 60% / 35 µm dry

STORAGE AND PACKAGING

• Standard packaging: 1 kg kit consisting of 0.8 kg base + 0.2 kg hardener.

• Shelf life: 12 months in its original packaging, tightly sealed, protected from frost, humidity and high temperatures.
