HPL1 M
HPL1 M white waterborne converter (tint base), matt, 20 gloss
White waterborne (acrylic dispersion) converter, matt, 20 gloss, for the SPECTRUM tinting system. Tinted with waterborne CH pastes by SPECTRUM recipe (a white base is mainly for light and pastel shades); untinted it is a white waterborne enamel. Single-component — no hardener, thinned with water only (0–10 %). Solvent-free and low-odour, so it's fine for kids' furniture, kitchens and bathrooms; stays white without yellowing.

Application
HVLP
- Pressure · air · Cap
- ≤ 0.7 barrecommended
- Sanding between coats
- P320–P400 (grey/ultra-fine pads on profiles)recommended
15–20 cm distance, 50–75 % overlap. Spray above 15 °C and below 70 % RH (dealer). Never add more than 10 % water. Flush the gun with water before and after; blow it dry after cleaning so nothing rusts. Don't sand or polish the final coat — the matt level comes from the enamel itself.
Conventional spray
Higher consumption because of overspray (transfer efficiency up to ~40 %).
Airmix (air-assisted airless)
- Spray viscosity
- unthinned or 0–5 % waterrecommended
Officially, airmix suits finish coats better than airless.
Brush
For small areas and repairs; official consumption and viscosity are for spraying. Use a synthetic brush.
Roller
Short-nap velour/microfibre roller; don't re-roll a film that has started to set.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- Sand MDF/solid wood P180–P240 (solid P150–P180), de-dust; prime with a white waterborne primer and sand the primer P280–P320. Surface dry, clean, free of silicone and wax. Wood moisture 8–12 %.recommended
- Don'ts
- Don't thin with solvents — water only, max 10 %
- Don't tint with CS pastes
- Don't apply below 15 °C or above 70 % RH
- Don't let it freeze (presumed — waterborne dispersion)
- Don't sand or polish the final matt coat
- Don't leave waterborne material sitting in the gun — flush with water right away
Storage

Safety: Solvent-free, non-toxic, low odour; suitable for kids' furniture (dealer). Work with ventilation; wear an aerosol mask (P2) and gloves when spraying.
