NOVOL SPECTRAL KLAR 565-00 VHS 2K 2:1 CLEARCOAT 5LTR - LACQUER

The NOVOL Spectral Klar 565-00 VHS 2K Clearcoat is a high-quality 2K (two-component) clearcoat that provides a durable, high-gloss finish. Here’s how you would use it:

1. Surface Preparation:

   • Ensure that the basecoat is fully dried and free from any contaminants like dust, grease, or fingerprints.
   • Tack cloth can be used to remove any small particles.

2. Mixing Ratio:

   • Mix the clearcoat with its corresponding hardener in a 2:1 ratio.
   • Example: 2 parts Klar 565-00 Clearcoat to 1 part hardener.
   • Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure even blending.

3. Optional Thinner:

   • You may add a thinner (10-15%) to adjust viscosity if needed, based on your spray gun and environmental conditions.

4. Pot Life:

   • The mixture typically has a working time of around 30-60 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity. Ensure you use it within this time frame before it starts curing.

5. Application:

   • Use a spray gun with a nozzle size of 1.2mm - 1.4mm.
   • Apply 1.5 to 2 coats, allowing a flash-off time of around 5-10 minutes between coats, depending on ambient conditions.
   • Ensure uniform coverage and avoid heavy buildup to prevent runs or sags.

6. Curing:

   • It air dries at room temperature (around 20°C) within 6-8 hours, but you can speed up curing using an oven at 60°C for approximately 20-30 minutes.
   • Wait around 24 hours for full curing if air drying.

7. Buffing:

   • After curing, the surface can be polished to achieve an even glossier finish if necessary.
