Substrate and Preparation

Suitable for all commonly used timber species. Timber moisture content should be between 12 and 16%. The substrate must be clean, dry and free from dust, dirt, grease, silicone and wax.

Follow the appropriate Anker Stuy coating specification for other system products such as primers and end grain sealers.

Application Conditions

During application and for at least 10 minutes afterwards it is advised a temperature between 15 and 20⁰C and a relative humidity of 60-70%. Do not apply below 8°C ambient and surface temperature and a relative humidity above 85%.

Although the recommended method of application is air assisted airless spraying, conventional spraying such as the use of a gravity fed pot gun can be conducted with a sufficiently large nozzle such as 2 to 2.5mm. It may be necessary to thin down the coating to get good flow through such apparatus. Do not thin by more than 10%.

Special Information

This product is particularly suitable for force drying with high temperature and low humidity. A full three coat system with two layers of Hydrolux Primer/Midcoat and a layer of Hydrolux Topcoat can be applied very easily in one working day.

150-170µm wet film thickness. The values given refer to undiluted material Where a large colour change from our standard white primer is required we suggest using our primer/midcoat in the appropriate colour to enable the job to be completed using one layer of top coat.

Drying times can be greatly reduced if drying conditions are warmer and less humid. Refer to Anker Stuy or Rawlins Technical for more details. Lower temperatures, poor air exchange and high humidity will delay drying. Incorrect drying can lead to surface defects, issues with moisture uptake through coatings and possible problems with extractive staining.
