APF Polyurethane 501 Clear Matte

Product Description

APF Polyurethane 501 is a high-solids, two-component, water-based aliphatic polyurethane. This unique product provides performance properties equal to conventional solvent-based catalyzed urethanes without the associated health and environmental problems.  APF Polyurethane 501 is VOC compliant in California. It offers substantial performance improvements over first generation catalyzed water-based polyurethanes, including higher film build capabilities, improved chemical resistance, and resistance to hot tire staining.  

Advantages

• Resistant to fuels and many chemicals
• Hard, high-gloss, easily cleaned surface
• Graffiti resistant when used as wall surface

MIXING

Mix only that amount of material that can be used in a 3 hour period at 77°F.  Higher temperatures reduce work time. In hot weather, it is advisable to mix smaller batches.  Premix Part A before adding part B.  Mixing ratio is 2 parts A to 1 part B. Add part B slowly while mechanically agitating part A with a slow speed drill.  Mix for 2 full minutes until completely homogenized.  Material cannot be properly mixed by hand. Use a small “squirrel cage” mixer for mixing small amounts.

APPLICATION 

APF Polyurethane 501 should be applied 200-350 sq. ft. per gallon by brush, roller or airless sprayer.  Do not allow to puddle or accumulate in joint areas.  Applications heavier than 200 sq. ft. per gallon will create bubbles in the cured coating.  If multiple coats are required, and the material has cured for more than 24 hours, de-gloss with a black ScotchBrite® janitorial abrasive pad or fine sanding screen. 

SHELF LIFE 

One [1] year from date of manufacture in original unopened container.  Store away from heat sources between 50ºF and 85ºF (10ºC – 30ºC).  Do not allow to freeze.
