TERMS ON FINISHING VENEERS, SHEETS & PANELS

Important Note about finishing DYE-A-LOG Veneers
All wood veneers, both Natural & Dyed and Reconstituted, like all materials will alter in color due to exposure to Ultraviolet (UV) light, or fading, or simply aging of the wood. Fading may be reduced by the use of non-yellowing finishes that contains UV inhibitors.

After extensive testing determined that best results can be obtained when using the following ICA finishing products for use on  veneer to help protect against the effects of exposure to Ultra Violet light.

Products and mixing Procedures:                    

We suggests the use of the following varnishing products and system

  • FAC300UVE Basecoat mixture= FAC300UVE (basecoat): C206 (hardener): D1010: (thinner) = 100:20: 40/50
  • OAC301G20UVE (20 sheen) or OAC301G5UVE (5 sheen) Topcoat mixture=OAC301G20UVE (topcoat): C206 (hardener): D1010 (thinner) = 100: 20: 60/70

With its specific Application Cycle:

  • Apply a first base coat of 5mils of FAC300UVE by spray in ambient (± 70°F) condition.
  • Let dry at room temperature for at least 30-40 minutes.
  • Apply a second base coat of 5mils of FAC300UVE by spray in ambient condition without sanding.
  • Dry at room temperature for 8-10 hours at least before sanding.
  • Sanding by 320-400# grit sanding paper.
  • Apply a topcoat of 4mils of OAC301G20UVE or OAC301G05UVE by spray in ambient condition.
  • Dry at room temperature for 6-8 hours at least.

Notes:

  1. This cycle is as tested. Should you wish to apply only a single seal coat & top coat, wait at least 6 hours after the seal coat before sanding and applying the top coat.
  2. Ensure both OAC301G20UVE & OAC301G5UVE are well mixed immediately before starting production.

Moreover, we strongly recommend that testing be performed to determine the suitability of this or any other varnish to your manufacturing process, or to the specific circumstances and other environmental factors of the project installation.
