Specific gravity (kg/l): 1.365 ± 0.030 Viscosity (DIN 6 at 20°C): 40” ± 8” VOC Content: 47 g/ltr
Recommended application weight: 150 to 250 per coat if applied by spray to timber substrate. No realistic maximum loading when applying by hand, as film weight cannot achieve this from manual application methods.

Drying times are indicative because they depend on temperature, humidity, & importantly air flow conditions.
Drying of waterborne products must take place at temperatures not below 15°C and at a relative humidity preferably not exceeding 85%. Out of these limits, there is a slowing down of the drying and/or formation of a less hard and resistant film. It is always advisable for drying to be forced, with air previously de-humidified and warm (20-30°C).

Our Eco-Friendly Stand
Water-based solvent free: We have been instrumental in the environmentally friendly water borne paint movement in the UK and although est. in 1988 the business has been trading as a ‘Green’ business since 1996 believing in looking after the planet, ourselves & our clients. It is our policy to use as few if any solvents as possible. We combine traditional skills with the continual improvement in modern waterborne technology so that our designs and finishes create minimal environmental impact. Unlike traditional oil-based paint systems our finishes are multi layered & quick drying making their conservation more cost effective. We use our own HV’ART Lacquer Paint™ system for basecoats, furniture painting, decorative glaze finishes & lacquering & other than any specialist primers and stoppers this system is relatively odorless, solvent free, colour-fast & non-yellowing which ensures that there will be minimal if any discoloration even in direct sunlight or behind furniture & paintings etc.
