HPL1 UM
HPL1 UM white waterborne converter (tint base), extra-matt, 10 gloss
White waterborne (acrylic dispersion) converter, extra-matt, 10 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.
- Base for tinting waterborne enamels (CH pastes)
- Furniture fronts and panels in various wood species
- MDF and solid wood; fronts, doors, tables, chairs, kids' furniture, toys (woodonline)
- Interior painting of furniture, slatted wall panels, interior doors, lining boards, laminated chipboard/MDF/particleboard; refurbishing (dealer, HPL1 UM)

No solvents (S50, S80 etc.) — they will shock the dispersion.

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.
