PTL200
PTL200 PU gloss lacquer (100 gloss)
Two-pack clear polyurethane lacquer, 100 gloss. High solids, deep gloss, good hardness and scratch resistance. Builds and flows out well and polishes very well. Cured with AC200 (officially 100 %) or PC210 (dealer), thinned with the slow S70/S80 thinners.
- high-gloss furniture fronts
- high-gloss panels in solid wood and veneer
- high-gloss MDF
- topcoat for cut-and-polish (mirror) finishes

in hot weather, to improve flow-out
S100 is a retarder thinner with very slow evaporation.

Lay down a full wet coat — dry spray on a 100-gloss finish shows as orange peel. In hot weather add S100/S101 retarder at 5–10 % on top of the main thinner (dealer note).

Transfer efficiency up to 40 % per the official methods page, so actual usage is higher than the nominal g/m².

Electrostatic
Usable with any gun type per the official methods page; settings follow the underlying method. Resistivity of the thinned material is not published — test before relying on electrostatics.

- Don'ts
- don't spray over an unsanded or dusty primer — a 100-gloss film shows every speck
- don't polish earlier than 3 days after the final coat
- don't exceed the recommended film (≈150 g/m² per coat)
- don't use the mix past its 6 h pot life
- don't thin with fast thinners — the slow S70/S80 is what lets it flow out

Safety: Two-pack solvent-borne polyurethane; the hardener contains isocyanates. Spray only in a ventilated booth wearing an A2P3 respirator (or air-fed mask), gloves and eye protection. Flammable — keep away from flames and sparks. (Generic 2K PU guidance; no Technocolor SDS was found.)
