Water-basedEnamelGloss: 30 GU

HPL20 SM

HPL20 SM universal white waterborne enamel (30 gloss)

One-pack white waterborne enamel, 30 gloss. Fast drying, good looks and chemical/physical resistance, high resistance to yellowing. No organic solvents, so it is fine for children's furniture and toys, and stands up to frequent washing.

  • solid wood, MDF, veneer (over primer)
  • children's furniture and toys
  • interior furniture, doors and walls
  • decorative hand-painting

Why ru
Натуральная щетина набухает в воде; для водных эмалей стандарт — синтетика.

Synthetic-bristle brush (for waterborne), thin 5–10 % with water. Good for small parts, touch-ups and decorative painting.

Don'ts
  • don't tint it — use converter HPL1 for colours
  • don't apply below 15 °C or above 70 % RH
  • don't thin with solvent or mix with solvent-borne products
  • don't exceed 10 % water
  • don't let it freeze
  • no steel wool/bare steel tools — rust spots in a waterborne film
