Technical information mother-of-pearl effect
Products required
Processing and safety information: Please observe the latest technical information and the material safety data sheets for the stated individual products. Particular instructions:
- The mother-of-pearl effect can only be achieved on pastel tones.
- Please apply Pearl lacquer uniformly; different coat thicknesses change the colour tone and excessively high application quantities result in clouding.
- Our PU Pearl lacquer DU 457-99060 can be mixed with 5 - 10% UNA-COLOR DB 555-(colour tone) to obtain individual colour tones.
- The lacquer is then applied similar to a Multicoat lacquer; as a basecoat and top coat.
- Stir well before use!
- PU lacquers should not be processed and dried at material/room temperatures below 18 °C.
- PU lacquered surfaces should be freshly sanded before applying the finish coat to avoid adhesion problems.
- Please conduct a test coating.
