HV160 is to be added to the final coat of a surface finish, to further increase the chemical and mechanical resistance of the coating. It is not advised to add to any prior coats, as this can impede best inter-coat adhesion.
When added at a concentration of 0.5-1% it considerably improves hardness, abrasion resistance, resistance to aggressive household chemicals, and blocking resistance against tannins or bleed from the substrate.
5% by volume of the coating material, after pre-thinning (see below)
Dilute 1 part HV160 with 5 parts water immediately before addition to the chosen coating.
The coating mixture containing additive should be used immediately after preparation and used within 12 hours. VOC Content: 40 g/ltr (almost zero effect on the coating mixture overall VOC due to the small dosage used)
