hydrotuff (anti-bacterial)

HYDROTUFF (ANTI-BACTERIAL) is a mono-component water-based acrylic dispersion for interior/exterior wood coating. It is developed to provide a hard resistant film with excellent abrasion, film transparency, flow properties, high flexibility and environment-friendly. It contains an anti-bacterial component suitable for the protection against algal and fungal attack for surface coatings.

It is best recommended for coating floor surfaces, furniture, turn pieces, bamboo canes and the like. HYDROTUFF (ANTI-BACTERIAL) with its active ingredients has been proven through extensive lab testing according to the method SM 022/023 against common bacteria.
  • Excellent hardness.
  • Flexible.
  • Non-toxic/Environment-friendly.

      Piling – 24 – 36 hours

      VOC – 132 g/L

      Coating rate – 7-12 m2/L (Coverage will vary depending on porosity of surface).

      Recoating – Two (2) coats may be sufficient for the ordinary finish, allow two (2) hours drying between coats, a light sanding with 400 or 600 grit sandpaper is recommended before subsequent coat when recoating time exceeds 8 hours and ensure to remove traces of wax.

      The mixture is ready for use and can be applied by brush or spray. The surface to be coated must be free of dirt and other contaminants. In the remaking of old woods, it is imperative to remove traces of wax, dirt and other oily matter to ensure perfect adhesion of paints.
      The first coat can be diluted with 5 – 10% with clean demineralized water and allow to dry for an hour before sanding to remove any raised grain.
      Ensure that HYDROTUFF (ANTI-BACTERIAL) is applied uniformly and never leave an unsealed surface to avoid moisture.
      HYDROTUFF has a good resistance without additives, it is resistant to chemical stability from level 1-B DIN 68861-part 1. HYDROTUFF (ANTI-BACTERIAL) does not contain heavy metal and therefore, it can be used for toys in accordance with European Std’d EN 71-3 for Toy Security.
      The drying room temperature should not be lower than 15ºC and the humidity must be less than 85ºC. If the condition is beyond the required temperature, the possibility of slow drying smooth film and less chemical resistance. It is recommended for a good dry by force drying without humidity starting from normal temperature up to 30ºC.
      Due to the thermoplastic of the water-based resin, the drying during piling is delicate which may result in a different effect. However, force drying plus Catalyst will improve the risk of piling.
