Description
|
|
VT-4037 is a fast curing
High Solids Vacuum Metallizing Topcoat,
designed for use in flow coatings and
general purpose paint applications.
Among its attributes, this Topcoat
offers relatively fast cure at low
temperatures, outstanding adhesion,
exceptional appearances at thin film
load levels and very good re-coat
characteristics.
In addition, VT-4037
is ideally suited for applications
involving dip dyes, as it accepts stains
and dye solutions readily and uniformly
throughout the coating surface. The
nature of this product, makes it ideally
suited for most general purpose Vacuum
Metallizing applications, where short
lines or extended cure line times may be
unavailable.
