PTL80 G
PTL80 G PU lacquer-primer (self-sealer), 90 gloss
Two-pack polyurethane self-sealing lacquer (lacquer-primer) for furniture: the same product goes on as sealer and as topcoat. Dries fast, flows out very well and leaves a smooth, pleasant-to-the-touch film with good physical and chemical resistance and a good hardness/flexibility balance. Raises the grain only minimally. Part A is 40 % solids; cured with the aromatic hardener PC10 (50 %) and thinned with S50. Gloss version; for gloss Technocolor now offers dedicated systems (PTL200 / AC200).
- Furniture fronts and panels in various wood species
- Self-sealing 'lacquer over lacquer' system with no separate sealer (official: 'can be used as a self-sealer')
- Topcoat over PU sealer and over CTU-series stain (dealer instruction)
- Interior use only (dealer, PTL80 UM)

Mixing matrix
- PC10Hardener% by weight: 50 %catalog
2022 catalog: 'Hardener PC10 50 %'.
PC10 is aromatic, highly reactive and fast-drying, 24 ± 1 % solids (dealer). Fixed ratio — do not adjust by eye.
- S50Thinner% by weight: 20–30 (typ. 25) %official% by volume: 25–35 %official
Always; universal medium-evaporation thinner.
Dealer lists 20–30 % for both weight and volume; official site gives 20–30 % by weight = 25–35 % by volume. Go by spray viscosity, 18–22 s DIN4.
- S100Thinner% by weight: 5–10 %dealer
Only when needed to improve flow-out: heat, draughts, large flat panels, solvent pop/bubbles in summer.
Dealer: 'use small amounts of S100 retarder (5–10 %) in addition to the main thinner'. Official S100 page: prevents air bubbles in the film in summer. Slows drying — more dust pick-up and more sag risk.
- S80Thinner% by weight: 20–30 %
Not listed by Technocolor for PTL80; fallback only above ~25 °C when S100 is not at hand.
Prefer the listed S50 + 5–10 % S100.

- Дилер шлифует ПУ изолирующий грунт P280–P320 перед PTL80 M; когда PTL80 сам служит изолирующим грунтом, плёнка тоньше/твёрже → P320–P400 (P400 перед финишем с блеском 10–20).

Fan fully open, 50–75 % overlap. Don't overload the finish coat: low-sheen lacquers (10–40 gloss) go glossier and sag when laid on thick.

Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- Solid wood/veneer at 8–10 % MC, sanded P150–P180 (veneer P180–P220), de-dusted. Over CTU stain — dry 10–15 min (dealer).recommended

- Self-sealing schedule · Why ru
- Официальная страница говорит, что PTL80 может служить сам себе изолирующим грунтом, но схемы не даёт; составлено по официальным соотношениям, времени сушки дилера и стандартной практике шлифовки PU.

- Don'ts
- Don't change the hardener ratio (PC10 50 % by weight, fixed)
- Don't use past pot life (4 h at 20 °C) — never thin down mix that has started to thicken
- Don't brush it — dries far too fast (no source lists brushing)
- Not for exterior use, and test first over white/pale stains — the aromatic hardener yellows
- Don't polish the final low-sheen coat
- It is not PTL50 (the thixotropic one) — PTL80 flows and will sag on verticals if overloaded
Storage
- Storage temperature
- 5–30 °Crecommended
Safety: Solvent-borne 2K PU: highly flammable; the hardener contains isocyanates. Spray in a ventilated booth, wear an A2P2 carbon-filter respirator (air-fed is better), nitrile gloves and eye protection. Keep the hardener tightly closed — it reacts with air moisture.
