Mother of pearl effect

Sample process:

Step 1:

• Possible substrate materials are veneered woods or solid wood, e.g. ash for open-pore coatings.
• Brush out well with wood-sanding grain 120 -150
• Apply one coat of 100 - 150g/m² of UNA-COLOR DB 45245-(colour tone) mixing ratio (by volume) 10 : 1 with PU Hardener DR 4070 thinned with 20 – 30 % PU Thinner DV 4900
• Dry for 2 hours at 20 °C
• Smooth (grain 320)
• Apply one coat of 100 - 150g/m² UNA-COLOR DB 45245-(colour tone) mixing ratio (by volume) 10 : 1 with PU Hardener DR 4070 thinned with 20 – 30 % PU Thinner DV 4900
• Dry for at least 16 hours at 20 °C
• Smooth slightly with grain 400

Step 2:

• Apply one top coat of 70 - 100 g/m² PU Metallic Top coat DU 45457-99060 mixing ratio (by volume) 10 : 1 with PU Hardener DR 4070 thinned with 10 % PU Thinner DV 4900
• Dry for at least 16 hours at 20 °C

• The mother of pearl effect can only be achieved on pastel shades.
• Please apply PU metallic top coats evenly; different coat thicknesses change the colour tone and excessively high application quantities result in clouding!
• For custom colour tones, the PU Metallic Top coat DU 45457-99060 as pearl effect can be mixed with 5 – 10 % UNA-COLOR DB 45245-(colour tone).
• The lacquer is then applied like a coating lacquer as a primer and as a top coat.
• Stir well before use!
• Polyurethane lacquers should not be used or dried at product or room temperatures below 18 °C.
• In order to avoid adhesion problems, polyurethane lacquered surfaces should be freshly sanded before applying the top coating.
• Please apply a test coat.
