About the material

The finishing layer in the coating system

Component A is an acrylic copolymer solution; component B is a polyurethane hardener. The clearcoat is described as the finishing layer of a system for exterior surfaces of passenger carriages and other vehicles.

Material selection and the application process depend on the substrate, previous coats and service conditions. Request the current TU specification and instructions before use.

Purpose

Where the material is used

The list is based on the AKRYL presentation. Suitability for a specific project is confirmed through technical selection.

Railway vehicles

A finishing layer on previously primed and painted exterior surfaces of carriages and locomotives.

Vehicles and transport equipment

A protective and decorative finish applied as part of an agreed coating system.

Separate supply

The clearcoat can be requested separately, subject to a compatibility check with existing coats.

Preparation

What to check before application

Check the underlying coats

Specify the enamel, condition and elapsed time since application of the previous coating.

Prepare the 2K material

Mix the base and hardener according to the current TU specification immediately before application.

Agree the finish

Confirm gloss, thickness, drying and appearance using the selected system.

Mixture preparationStir the base and hardener separately first. After mixing, allow 10-15 minutes before application.
ApplicationAir or airless spray; a brush is permitted on areas smaller than 1 m². One coat with a dry film thickness of 20-30 µm.
ConditionsFrom +10 °C; relative humidity no more than 80 %; surface temperature at least 3 °C above the dew point.
Intercoat drying in a multi-coat procedureThe manufacturer's instructions specify 8 h; agree the need for an additional coat and the conditions for the selected system.

This information is taken from the manufacturer's materials and does not replace the current application instructions. Request them for the selected material and project before application.

Theoretical consumption is given for the specified coating thickness. Actual consumption depends on application methods and conditions, roughness, object geometry and process losses.

Questions

What to clarify before ordering

Is the clearcoat required for the system?

The VNIIZhT conclusion evaluated a four-material system, including the clearcoat. A different procedure cannot be treated as equivalent to the tested system.

Can the clearcoat be purchased separately?

Yes. For separate use, compatibility with the previously applied enamel must be checked.

Is the clearcoat suitable for every enamel?

Universal compatibility is not claimed. The specific system must be checked.

What is the base-to-hardener ratio?

The presentation specifies 20 : 8 by mass for this clearcoat.

What are the clearcoat application conditions?

The presentation specifies at least +10 °C, humidity no more than 80 %, and substrate temperature at least 3 °C above the dew point.

How can the clearcoat be applied?

Airless and air spray are listed, with a brush also permitted on areas smaller than 1 m². The specific method depends on the system and finish requirements.

What consumption should be used in calculations?

The presentation gives a theoretical 60-80 g/m² for the specified thickness. Actual consumption depends on the application method, surface profile and losses.
