Epifanes PP Varnish Extra

PP Varnish Extra is a two-component flexible, fast-drying, durable clear varnish that is used as a sealer and building layer on all types of wood. The varnish builds up a lot with each coat and is fast-curing, making PP Varnish Extra very suitable for use on surfaces where relatively thick layers are required quickly on interiors and exteriors above the waterline. PP Varnish Extra is very resistant to chemicals, water spills and heavy mechanical wear. The varnish has very good adhesion on oily wood, e.g. teak.

For both homogeneous wood and plywood, e.g.: decking, tables, stairs, masts, garden furniture, door thresholds, etc., PP Varnish Extra must be overcoated with at least three coats of Epifanes clear varnish (one-component) or three coats of Epifanes Blank polyurethane varnish (two-component) for exterior use to obtain maximum UV protection.

The wood must be dry before applying the varnish. The untreated wood must be cleaned and sanded with sandpaper no. 180-240. Remove all sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner and then spray thinner. Previously varnished surfaces must be dry, cleaned, degreased and mattified with sandpaper P 360. Coverage: 2 liters covers approx. 28 m².

Mixing of component A and B: 1:1 by volume. Be sure to mix both components thoroughly, but avoid “whipping” air into the varnish. After base and hardener are mixed, it is important that the varnish is allowed to stand and “rest” for approx. 15 minutes before application. Pot life: After mixing comp A and B: approx. 4 hours at 20º C. Drying time at 20° C and 65% relative humidity: Dust-dry after 1 hour. Sandable after 24 hours. Epifanes PP Varnish Extra can be applied “wet on wet” with a brush, roller or sprayed with approx. 4-5 hour intervals. Sanding between coats is not required if the next layer is applied within 48 hours. At higher or lower temperatures, the above times are extended or shortened. Recommended thinning: When applying with a brush, roller or spray: Epifanes thinner for PP Varnish Extra. If necessary, add thinner after base and hardener are mixed and allowed to stand for 15 minutes. The amount of thinner to be added depends on the application method, the temperature of the paint and the ambient conditions. Spraying: Thinner in vol %: 10-15. Nozzle: 1.3 - 1.5 mm. Air pressure (bar): 2-3
