LBA528
LBA528 High-solids thixotropic clear PU sealer (Milesi 'Polyurethane electrostatic sealer')
Two-pack clear polyurethane sanding sealer, high solids (~50 %). Thixotropic, so it stands up on verticals without runs, fills grain hard and hand-sands easily. Made for conventional and electrostatic spraying. Goes on bare or stained wood under PU topcoats such as the thixotropic LGA53x series.
- Case goods and assembled furniture, chairs, turned parts (beech)
- Solid-wood items
- Fronts, frames and profiles
- Softwoods (pine, alder) where heavy grain fill is wanted
- Electrostatic finishing of chairs and open-frame work

Electrostatic spraying.
LZC13 is Milesi's electrostatic thinner, resistivity 8–20 MΩ·cm, faster than LZC50. BG example: 1 l LBA528 + 0.5 l LNB06 + 0.3 l LZC13 = 30 % of part A or 20 % of the A+B mix. The Slovak dealer also names LZC13 for electrostatic work (within its 10–30 %).

Ground the part; wood needs enough moisture (≈8–10 %+) to conduct for electrostatics. Thin with LZC13 (BG: 20–25 %; example 0.3 l per 1 l sealer + 0.5 l hardener).

Not in the TDS; the Italian dealer (Spanò) lists airmix and airless. Airless gives a coarser surface on furniture — airmix is better.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- Bare wood sanded P150–P180 (softwood P180), dust-free, moisture 8–12 %; stain (water-based) fully dry before sealingrecommended
- Sanding
- P280–P320dealer
- Temperature and humidity
- 20 °C, 70 % RH reference; store at 18–25 °Cdatasheet
- Don'ts
- Don't use past pot life (2 h) — never thin a thickened mix to stretch it
- Don't topcoat more than ~4 h after sanding without re-sanding (BG schedule)
- Keep hardener tins closed — it is moisture-sensitive
- Don't spray below 15 °C
Storage

Safety: Solvent-borne; hardener contains isocyanates. Spray in a ventilated booth with an A2 organic-vapour respirator (air-fed preferred), nitrile gloves and eye protection. Flammable.
