Description of the product

USE:

Highly resistant varnish specially formulated for the long-term protection of surfaces against wear, abrasion, chemical spills, and weathering.

FEATURES:

RD-Hydrograff HP Clear is a two-component aliphatic polyurethane topcoat for indoor and outdoor use. After drying, the coating creates a hard flexible and wear resistant film that can be used for decorative and protective purposes. It is appropriate for application on concrete and wooden floors or objects, walls, steel and non-ferrous metals with a primer, etc. It provides very good resistance against humidity and very good outdoor durability.

RD-Hydrograff HP Clear is water-based, easy to handle and has no fire risks.

RD-Hydrograff HP Clear is formulated with high quality raw materials and provides a very good chemical resistance, a very good resistance against abrasion and solvents, a very high hardness (Taber abrasion: weight loss after 1000 cycles /CS 10 = 0.060 g); while keeping flexibility in its film that will avoid future cracks.

RD-Hydrograff HP Clear can provide very high levels of anti-corrosion protection surpassing traditional three coat systems when combined with RD-Monoguard!

It is also used as transparent anti-corrosion system when combined with RD-Monoguard Clear.

RD-Hydrograff Clear High Gloss can be used as an anti-graffiti protection on top of various kind of surfaces.

SUBSTRATES:

Various surfaces like plastics, concrete, cement, wood, metal, when primed accordingly.

Systems

Floors: concrete, cement, wooden		Wet film thickness in microns / mils	Dry film thickness in microns / mils	Consumption per m² / ft² per gallon	Comments
Primer	RD-Hydrograff HP Clear	150 / 6	60 / 2,4	0,15 L / 270	1^st layer diluted with 10% water if the surface is porous.

If the surface will be subject to chemical spills, high wear, or abrasion, apply one or two coats of RD-Hydrograff HP Clear as finish.

Indicated consumption is theoretical and does not consider potential losses during application. It can also be influenced by the porosity of the substrate.

Indicated consumption is based on RD-Hydrograff HP Clear High Gloss version and is theoretical, it does not consider potential losses during application. It can also be influenced by the porosity of the substrate. This consumption may not be exceeded. An excessive consumption can cause formation of gas bubbles in the paint film.

Safety data

The new REACH restriction requires workers handling diisocyanates to undergo training according to their uses. The regulations define 3 levels of training, basic training (level I), intermediate training (level II) and advanced training (level III). The training content has been developed by experts in the field of EHS.

This guide helps you choose the right training. Click here for trainings and guide. Or visit https://www.safeusediisocyanates.eu/

Attention: If you have only chosen the basic training, please note that the advanced training and refresher training mentioned in the REACH restriction in paragraph 74 of annex XVII are not included. In all training courses, the basic training is already included and therefore does not have to be chosen additionally. To register a group of participants, please use an administrative account.
