ELAC500XX series is a water white clear acrylic urethane topcoat which is also tintable for dark colours and is designed for mass production.

This coating is suitable for tough environments like kitchens and baths when used as a 1K product and can also be catalyzed with CAT100-LV hardener (5 hr pot life) to improve adhesion, chemical and mar resistance or crosslinked with CAT150 crosslinker to improve chemical and mar resistance.
