Hesse PUR OPTI-BASE DG 4750

  • thixotropic lacquer formulation, allowing very high material application on vertical surfaces
  • high filling power, so up to 1/3 fewer operations compared with traditional polyurethane basecoats
  • particularly transparent, creating an impressively high level of brilliance on light and dark types of wood
  • guarantees optimum ability to stay on vertical surfaces, resulting in a perfect high gloss appearance to the very highest standards
OPTI-BASE is an especially transparent base coat and excellent for closed-pore and very stable surface processes. Ideally suitable as an isolation sealer and base coat with very good body under high gloss. Given its thixotropic lacquer formulation, there are no problems with applying high coat thicknesses to vertical surfaces or edges.

Processing instructions Its high thixotropy means the flow behaviour when mixing PU OPTI-BASE DG 4750 with PU Hardener DR 4034 is not comparable with that of customary furniture lacquers. The base lacquer is somewhat more viscous. The lacquer/hardener mixture therefore has to be a little more carefully amalgamated.
Opened containers of PU Hardener DR 4034 have to be properly closed and made airtight after use. Slight yellowing may be evident depending on the storage period. Please conduct a trial coating and check the colour tone as necessary.
Woods containing high levels of active substances, wax or oil may under certain circumstances negatively influence the adhesion and drying properties of PU OPTI-BASE. It is therefore advisable to conduct a trial coating under practical conditions to evaluate shading, adhesion and the drying process!
Particular instructions This coating material is not suitable for application on bleached surfaces!
Please note the application example concerning wet-on-wet application of DG 4750!

This product must only be combined with other approved and technically suitable products when it used as a flame retardant coating material for seagoing vessels according to the latest version of SOLAS 74/88 Reg. II-2/3, II-2/5 and II-2/6, IMO Resolution MSC.36(63)-(1994 HSC-Code) 7 and IMO Resolution MSC.97(73)-(2000 HSC-Code) 7. The maximum application amount in wet film when used as a flame retardant coating material for seagoing vessels using DG 4750 is 120 g/m².
“A risk assessment was undertaken according to Directive 2014/90/EU, Annex II, Section 3. This coating does not pose a physical risk to health nor a risk to the environment when cured and dried.”
General instructions on workmanship PU lacquers should not be applied or dried at material and room temperatures of less than 18 °C and 40 % RH, ideal values: 20 - 25 °C, 50 - 65 % RH. Deviations will result in drying or curing faults. To avoid adhesion problems, please sand PU lacquered surfaces before applying fresh lacquer and apply lacquer to these sanded surfaces as soon as possible. Old lacquer/hardener mixtures will affect the surface quality (adhesion/resistance). If stored correctly (at least 20 °C room temperature), complete hardening of the coating is achieved after a week. Please apply a test coat under real conditions!

The more porous the wood, the more basecoats to be applied. Although a maximum application amount in wet film of 400 g/m² may be applied on one working day, since a drying time of > 16 h / 20 °C is then required! Apply sufficient basecoats until the surface to be coated has closed pores prior to lacquer sanding! The drying time for the final basecoat using OPTI-BASE DG 4750 should be > 48 h / 20 °C! PU Thinner DV 4981 can optionally be used at higher temperatures or if very large surfaces are being coated.
