PPL50 M
PPL50 M White thixotropic PU enamel (20 gloss, matt)
Two-pack white polyurethane matt enamel (20 gloss), thixotropic. Excellent hiding, hangs on verticals without runs or sags, good physical and chemical resistance. A topcoat for vertical spraying, including carvings and complex shapes.
- White matt topcoat on vertical surfaces (fronts, doors, panels)
- Carvings and complex-shaped parts
- Furniture fronts and panels in wood and MDF

- PC60Hardener% by weight: 50 %official% by volume: 60 %official
the only listed hardener — always
All sources agree: 50 % by weight = 60 % by volume. Weigh it; Technocolor lists no other hardener for PPL50.
- S50Thinner% by weight: 20–30 (typ. 25) %official% by volume: 30–35 %official
default — normal conditions, verticals
S50: medium evaporation, good solvency, made for matt PU enamels (catalog). Doesn't change cure time.
- S70Thinner% by weight: 20–30 %catalog
Catalog also allows S70 (slow evaporation; its thinner table targets deep-matt and high-gloss PU). Use in heat (above ~25 °C) and on big panels — that usage is our interpretation.
A slow thinner raises sag risk on verticals even with thixotropy — stay at the low end. Official page and dealer list S50 only.

Fan fully open, 50–75 % overlap, 10–13 CFM. One full wet pass on verticals — thixotropy holds it, but don't go past 150 g/m² per pass. Stir part A thoroughly before mixing (dealer).

Airmix gives a better finish than airless (methods page); the main production method for fronts.
Airless

Not ideal for a topcoat: coarser atomisation, overbuild risk on verticals.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- White PU primer sanded flat (P280–P320 / pads K150–K180), de-dusted, free of silicone, oil and wax. Resinous wood and MDF: isolator first.recommended
- Sanding
- Between coats P320–P400 or grey pad; never sand or polish the final coat.recommended
- Temperature and humidity
- 18–25 °C, RH 50–70 %; above ~25 °C swap S50 for S70 (catalog), no more than 30 %.recommended
- Don'ts
- Don't change hardener: PC60 only, 50 % by weight
- Weigh, don't eyeball
- Don't lay more than 150 g/m² per pass
- Don't sand or polish the final matt coat
- Don't spray the mix more than 4 h after mixing
- Don't blend with other gloss levels without a test panel (PPL50 SM/SG are separate products)
