This table offers a comprehensive breakdown of the properties and specifications of VA500.10 acrylic topcoat, a two-component acrylic-based varnish:

1. Product Type

Indicates the material composition of the varnish, which in this case is acrylic. Acrylic varnishes are known for their durability and versatility.

2. Viscosity

Refers to the thickness or flow resistance of the varnish. Lower viscosity values indicate a thinner consistency, while higher values suggest a thicker consistency. The varnish exhibits different viscosities depending on whether it's the 1-component or 1+2-component mixture, with lower values typically indicating faster application and easier spreading.

3. Specific Gravity

Indicates the density of the varnish relative to water. A specific gravity value of less than 1 indicates that the varnish is lighter than water, while a value greater than 1 is heavier. The varnish has different specific gravity values for the 1-component and 2-component mixtures, providing insight into its composition and potential application characteristics.

4. Solid Content

The proportion of non-volatile components present in the varnish is expressed as a percentage by weight. A higher solid content typically results in a thicker coating and more substantial film build.

The varnish has different solid content values for the 1-component and 2-component mixtures, which can impact its application, coverage, and drying properties.

5. Coverage

Indicates the area that can be covered by a specific volume of the varnish when applied at a certain dry film thickness. Higher coverage values suggest that the varnish can cover a larger area per unit volume, which helps estimate the quantity required for a project. The coverage is based on a dry film thickness of 30-35 micrometers.

6. Recommended Application Weight

Specifies the amount of varnish applied per unit area to achieve the desired coating thickness. This recommendation helps ensure optimal performance and appearance of the varnish when used.

The recommended application weight is provided for a single coat application, with a range to accommodate variations in surface porosity and application technique.

Drying Time Of Acrylic Matt Finish

Property	Details
Dust Free	10 - 15 minutes
Touch Dry	20 - 25 minutes
Stackable (500 kg/m²)	16 - 17 hours
Stackable (1000 kg/m²)	16 - 17 hours

Here's a explanation of the properties and their corresponding details provided in the acrylic matt finish table:

Dust Free

This indicates the time it takes for the applied varnish to become free of dust particles. The surface should be dust-free after 10 to 15 minutes, allowing for a cleaner finish.

Touch Dry

Refers to the time it takes for the varnish to dry sufficiently to be touched without leaving any marks or fingerprints. Typically, the varnish takes 20 to 25 minutes to reach this stage, indicating that it's ready for further handling or additional coats if necessary.

Stackable (500 kg/m²)

Indicates the time it takes for the varnished surface to support a load of 500 kilograms per square meter without causing any damage or deformation. After 16 to 17 hours, the surface should be sufficiently cured to withstand this level of weight, making it suitable for stacking or placing heavy objects.

Stackable (1000 kg/m²)

Similar to the previous property, it specifies a higher load capacity of 1000 kilograms per square meter. Again, after 16 to 17 hours, the varnished surface should be strong enough to support this higher weight without adverse effects.

Surface Preparation

Before applying the varnish, preparing the surface properly is crucial to ensure optimal adhesion and finish quality. Here's a brief overview:

1. Acrylic Sealer Application

Use VA104.77 or VA105.77 as an acrylic sealer before applying the varnish. This step helps to prime the surface, enhancing the varnish's adhesion and ensuring a smoother finish.

2. Pre-Treated Surfaces

Suppose the surfaces have been previously sanded and coated with products such as Genc Polyurethane Sanding Sealers, Genc UV, or Genc Polyester Sanding Sealers. In that case, they can also be treated with the varnish. These pre-treatments create a suitable foundation for the varnish application, promoting better results and durability.

Mixing Ratio

Component	Percentage by Weight	Percentage by Volume
Acrylic Topcoat (VA500.XX)	100%	100%
Acrylic Hardener (HA190)	10%	10%
Acrylic Thinner (TA550)	40%	45%

Acrylic Topcoat (VA500.XX)

This component constitutes the main body of the varnish mixture, contributing 100% of the total weight and volume.

Acrylic Hardener (HA190)

The hardener is added to the varnish mixture at 10% by weight and 10% by volume. It plays a crucial role in catalyzing the curing process of the varnish, enhancing its durability and performance.

Acrylic Thinner (TA550)

The thinner is incorporated into the varnish mixture to adjust viscosity and improve flow characteristics. It is added at a ratio of 40% by weight and 45% by volume, helping achieve the desired application consistency.

Application

Apply one or two coats of VA500.10 acrylic matt varnish for wood, with a recommended waiting time of 10-15 minutes between coats.
For two-coat application, ensure the first coat covers 50-60 g/m² and the second covers 100-120 g/m².

Application Equipment

Conventional spray gun
Airmix Spray

Storage and Handling
