The product comes with quality guarantees associated with Scott Bader, making it suitable for the production of moulded panels for marine craft, land transport and building products including shower trays, together with general industrial moulding applications.
Crystic Envirotec LS-30PA is available in a wide range of colours and is formulated for ease of spraying with exceptional handling qualities.
The viscosity profile ensures even coverage with a recommended film thickness of 0.5-0.6mm wet, built-up by the application of several thin, even spray passes at a minimum spray pressure.
Such sprayed finishes resist sagging and slumping and provide a low-porosity finish which is achieved through minimal air entrapment and good air release.
Finishes have a proven osmotic blistering resistance following extended testing, and a low styrene content helps to maintain minimum emission levels in the workplace environments.
Spray applications and product curing are recommended at constant workshop temperatures between 18-25C, with accelerated post curing also possible at elevated temperatures.
The product is Lloyds-approved and can be supplied in 25kg kegs and 225kg drums.
