Description of the product
USE:
High performance interior and exterior enamel with superior properties.
FEATURES:
RD-Aquatop PU is a single-component top coat based on acrylic and polyurethane resins that offers a hard flexible and wear resistant film that can be used for decorative and protective purposes.
RD-Aquatop PU is water-based, easy to handle, safe and has no fire risks.
It is a fast-drying coating system that greatly reduces downtime during installation.
Virtually odour free, it does not affect neighbouring occupants and can therefore be used in occupied buildings.
RD-Aquatop PU creates a nice and smooth finish. Thanks to its high-quality pigments, it offers very good resistance to humidity and has a very good outdoor durability.
RD-Aquatop PU has successfully been tested to be used for constructions regulated by the LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE – LEED.

Aesthetical fresh-up:
A single coat is possible on previously painted surfaces in need of an aesthetic refreshment. Indicated consumption is theoretical and does not consider potential losses during application. It can also be influenced by the porosity of the substrate.
Application instructions
APPLICATION CONDITIONS:
Ambient temperature: minimum 5° C (41°F) – Optimal between 12° and 25°C (54° and 77°F).
Relative humidity: maximum 80 %
Surface temperature must be minimum 3°C (5°F) above dew point.
APPLICATION MEANS:

Airless: nozzle opening 007 to 009 – Pressure +/- 70 bars (+/- 1000 psi)
PREPARATION OF THE SUBSTRATE:
Preparation will depend on the type of substrate. In general, the surface should be clean and degreased before applying RD-Aquatop PU.
On tannic or exotic woods, we recommend using RD-Deco Isomat Aqua as a first coat to prevent tannin migration through the paint film.
