Description

Interlux Perfection Plus Yacht Varnish

A high performance clear polyurethane, offering multiple solutions from one product, Perfection Plus delivers the ultimate in clear wood coating performance. The chemical cure urethane formulation combines with a best in class UV Absorbers and HALS package to offer outstanding chemical and abrasion resistance, and superb gloss and gloss retention that lasts four times longer than conventional one-part varnishes. Perfection Plus can be applied directly to all woods, including oily timbers such as teak. When spraying, Perfection Plus can also be used in combination with Perfection Topcoat, as a glaze coat, to increase flow, leveling and durability.

Perfection Plus contains an advanced flow additive. This special blend of solvents, incorporated into the formulation, is designed not only to aid application but also to help you achieve a professional end result.

What are HALS?

Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) do not absorb radiation; instead they protect the coating resin from the harmful effect of photochemically-produced “free radicals” by neutralizing them, hindering chemical degradation. HALS regenerate themselves during the neutralization process, and go on providing protection throughout the lifetime of the coating.

What are UV Absorbers?

UV Absorbers soak up detrimental UV rays from sunlight, converting them into heat, which is then dissipated through the surface of the coating.

• Wash down with Fiberglass Surface Prep YMA601.
• Abrade with 320-400 grit paper.
• Previously Painted Surfaces in Poor Condition
• Remove all previous coatings and prime the substrate.
• Bare Wood
• Wipe down surface with 2316N to remove any contaminants.
• Sand smooth with 120 grade paper, followed by 240 and finally 320 grade paper.
• Remove sanding dust by brushing, dusting, and wiping. If wiping with a solvent, allow to completely dry before applying first coat.
• Prime, if required.
• If no primer has been applied, thin the first coat by 20-25% using recommended thinners.
• Oily Woods (eg Teak)
• Must be adequately degreased and prepared prior to the application of Perfection Plus.
• Ensure the surface is completely dry before applying the first coat.
• It is recommended that sanding residue is removed prior to overcoating.
