DESCRIPTION:

ELNYC900 00 Raw is a clear urethane topcoat that can be used to achieve the look of raw, unfinished wood, while adding the protection of a high quality wood finish. The product is easy to spray through all types of spray equipment and is capable of achieving gloss values less than 1 when applied to wood substrates. Despite being an “ultra-low” sheen product the 900 00 Raw offers outstanding mar resistance and doesn’t “wet” (darken) the wood substrate, leaving a very natural looking finish. For best performance on cabinetry or furniture it is recommended to add 2-3% CAT150 Crosslinker (no wood wetting) Adding CAT100-LV Hardener at 3-10% will add some wood wetting and increase clarity for use over stains when muting the wood is not desired, 10% addition will increase the gloss to 2 sheen). ELNYC900 00 can also be tinted to any dark colour for the ultimate 0.5-2 sheen solid dark colour system with self healing anti scratch and non marring properties. For decorative applications such as ceiling panels ELNYC900 00 can be used as a one component finish.

USES:

This product is designed as a clearcoat or dark solid colour for interior wood finishing applications such as cabinetry, furniture and millwork.
