Manufacturing Process

Preparation Phase

  1. Prepare all ingredients and ensure the work area is clean and free of dust.
  2. Measure each ingredient accurately as per formulation percentages.

Mixing Phase

  1. Add Polyurethane Resin and Acrylate Oligomer to the mixing vessel.
  2. Stir for 10 minutes to ensure homogeneity.
  3. Gradually incorporate Cross-linking Agent and stir for another 5 minutes.

Additives Phase

  1. Add UV Absorber, Flow Modifier, and Silicone Additive into the mixture.
  2. Continue stirring for 10 minutes to ensure even distribution.
  3. Add Solvent and gradually mix until desired viscosity is achieved.

Final Phase

  1. Add Catalyst and Defoamer, ensuring thorough mixing for 5 minutes.
  2. Filter the mixture to remove any particulates before packaging.

Usage Instructions

Apply an even coat with a spray gun at a distance of 20-30 cm. Allow to cure under UV light or by applying gentle heat until fully dried.
