Product description

The matting additive -LVM 769 810 A2- is an additive for 2-pack HS clear coats and 2-pack HS top coats which produces a matt effect on painted metallic or plastic substrates.

The product is typically used when larger areas need to be painted as well as for full-vehicle paint jobs, but also for painting small and add-on parts.

Adjusting the degree of gloss/matting; Application instructions

Note

Refer to "Gloss level adjustment for 2-pack HS clear coats" (data sheet no. 5.75) and "Paintwork repair system for vehicles with a matt finish" (data sheet no. 5.76).

Application instructions

Note

It is not necessary to add the elastic additive -ALZ 011 001-.

Shake or stir the matting additive -LVM 769 810 A2- well in the can.

Mix the matting additive -LVM 769 810 A2- with 2-pack HS clear coat or 2-pack HS top coat according to the respective specifications. Add the hardener and the reducer right before application. The ready-to-spray mixture should be applied immediately. If the mixture is left to stand in the mixing cup or spray gun cup for a longer period of time (15 min.), it must be stirred again prior to further application (sedimentation behaviour).

Adding the matting additive might influence the coverage.

It is absolutely necessary to test the mixture on a spray sample prior to application in order to achieve the degree of gloss that matches the vehicle. Measuring the degree of gloss (at an angle of 60°) on adjacent parts may also be helpful.

Blending in or refinishing the matt clear coat within a component, e.g. a side panel, or Clever Repair is not possible.

It is not possible to polish dust inclusions, therefore cleanliness during the entire refinishing process is very important.

The actual gloss level achieved is influenced by a number of factors apart from differences relating to the colour shade. The following chart shows some additional parameters and their effects on the degree of gloss.

Higher gloss	Low gloss
Faster-drying hardeners	Slower-drying hardeners
Faster-drying thinners	Slower-drying thinners
Higher application viscosity	Lower application viscosity
Higher dry layer thickness	Lower dry layer thickness
Shorter flash-off time	Longer flash-off time
Forced drying	Air drying

Factors influencing the degree of gloss:

The actual gloss level produced depends on the hardener/thinner used, the application and the drying method as well as on the film thickness. Depending on the respective parameter, the gloss level may vary by up to 20 %.

Drying

Final flash-off time with force drying is at least 15-20 minutes.

Matting additive -LVM 769 810 A2

Force drying period at material temperature of +60-65 °C is 45 minutes.
