Uroxsys Ltd: Marine Clearcoat Range

Uroxsys Marine Clearcoat Range

DESCRIPTION

The Uroxsys Marine Clearcoat range, is an easy to use, high performance aliphatic polyurethane coating range specifically created for the unforgiving marine environment. Developed and extensively trialed over a decade, this tough, long-lasting system retains the desirable ‘varnish look’ but offers significant gains in durability coupled with fast and forgiving application properties.

The range consists of a set of primers available in three natural timber tones along with a clear option. This is applied as a single coat then over-coated with 5-6 coats of Marine Aliphatic which is clear and available in gloss or matt.

It is suitable for interior and exterior use on brightwork, (trims, masts, bowspits, spars and cabin walls). It is not recommended for exterior decks. It has been successfully used on Oregon, Teak, Iroko, Spruce, Kauri and Mahogany, with outstanding results.

Performance and application properties of the Uroxsys Marine Clearcoat range:

Application Properties

All products are single pack: no mixing required.
Rapid build – multiple coats possible in one day
Forgiving to high humidity, low temperatures and evenings applications (near dew point).
Excellent sanding properties: can be hard-sanded the day following application, or the same day in warm conditions, without paper clogging
Easily brushed, rolled or sprayed
Suitable for interior and exterior use.

Film Properties

Very high UV resistance
Clear, aliphatic (non-yellowing) film
Excellent toughness and abrasion resistance
Good flexibility – moves with the substrate
Microporous; allows moisture within the substrate to permeate through the film
Easy to strip if required
Easily sanded and recoated if necessary

Durability

Extremely high resistance to: UV degradation, marine fuels, high saline conditions, water including mild acid and alkaline conditions (airborne pollutants, etc)
The product is relatively inert, retaining the physical characteristics possessed on application for many years. Clarity, flexibility, high gloss and UV absorption remain after lengthy exterior exposures

Aesthetic Properties

Available in high gloss and matt finishes
Timber grain not obscured by the primer colour system (no opaque pigments)
Excellent colour retention of the timber substrate over lengthy durations.

DRYING TIME FACTORS

The Uroxsys Marine Clearcoat Range is a moisture cure system, and hence the level of humidity is a more important factor in determining the length of the drying off period than temperature.

Please note that the tack off times specified in our technical datasheets for each product are approximations only, which were determined under laboratory conditions. These will quite likely vary in external conditions with different temperatures, humidity and presence of airflow, etc.

We recommend reading the following technical notes on the effects of humidity and temperature on curing times before starting a job, so as to minimise potential coating problems.
