PRODUCT CODES:
ELCAT 100-LV
NAME:
EnviroCat 100-LV Water Based Hardener, Low Viscosity
DESCRIPTION:
ELCAT100-LV is an isocyanate based hardener for water based finishes to improve hardness, chemical resistance and adhesion. Using this hardener in a topcoat will increase the gloss of the product 5-10% depending on how much hardener you add. Using Hardener in any waterborne coating gives a pot-life of several hours after which the coating will begin to gel.
USES:
This product is designed to be added to existing Envirolak products to enhance the performance of the cured finish. In topcoats, it will improve hardness, mar and scratch resistance as well as chemical resistance. Using it in basecoats will improve adhesion and water resistance as well as preventing veneer check.
PRODUCT PREPARATION:
This product is moisture sensitive, if stored improperly it may turn hazy, cloudy or form a hard skin on the surface. If the product is hazy it should not be used.THIS PRODUCT NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO YOUR COATINGS UNDER MECHANICAL AGITATION AND MIXED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TO ENSURE A SMOOTH FILM. ELCAT100- LV is supplied ready to use. Again, ELCAT100-LV will react with moisture so must be kept cool and dry at all times, be sure to tightly close all containers and use partial cans promptly.
POT LIFE:
Temperatures above 80F or 27C will reduce pot life, the hotter it is the shorter the pot life will be. Material left in a fluid line under pressure will kick over before the liquid in the hopper or can kicks over, its best to release the pressure in your fluid line when taking breaks. Pot life data indicated below is based on 22C or 72F
