Description of the product
USE:
High performance interior and exterior varnish with superior properties.
FEATURES:
RD-Monovar PU is a single-component varnish based on acrylic and polyurethane resins that offers a hard flexible and wear resistant film that can be used for decorative and protective purposes including floors.
RD-Monovar PU is water-based, easy to handle, safe and has no fire risks.
It is a fast-drying coating system that greatly reduces downtime during installation.
Virtually odour free, it does not affect neighbouring occupants and can therefore be used in occupied buildings.
RD-Monovar PU creates a nice and smooth finish. Thanks to its high-quality pigments and resins, it has a very good resistance against humidity, water and has a very good outdoor durability. It can cover most kind of existing coatings to strengthen the film surface and further protect against dirt, pollution, weathering and UVs. It can be used on walls in humid rooms of technical rooms like kitchens or bathrooms to obtain a tighter finish, easier to clean, and more resistant to humidity or stains.
RD-Monovar PU has successfully been tested to be used for constructions regulated by the LIVING BUILDING CHALLENGE – LEED.
