Description
CLEARCOAT 44 is a single component, moisture cure, aliphatic clear urethane coating. It produces a tough, glossy, hard wearing and chemically resistant surface. CLEARCOAT 44 may be used alone as a clear, tough gloss coat over masonry, concrete, vinyl, wood, or other approved substrates. If specified, a range of textured aggregates is available to provide a traction enhanced surface. CLEARCOAT 44 was tested for conformance to industrial standards to meet the approval of the Sealant Waterproofing and Restoration Institute (SWR Institute). This product was validated using third party verification to certify that it performed above industry standards. CLEARCOAT 44 is also used over bright metal surfaces to maintain their appearance and prevent tarnishing

Preparation and Application
Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be dry, free of dirt, loose debris, oils, grease or any substance that could interfere with adhesion. Do not apply if the substrate or air temperature is predicted to drop below 35°F (2°C) within 4 hours after application. The application surface must remain at least 5°F (3°C) above dew point during the application and curing process.
Application
Do not apply Clearcoat 44 to wet, damp, or frozen surfaces. Do not apply if the area cannot be protected from precipitation for at least 4 hours after application. Do not thin the product. Clearcoat 44 may be applied by soft brush or airless sprayer in a smooth, even technique. Care should be taken to avoid creating foam or trapping air bubbles which may later result in pinholes or hazing.
Spray Application
Utilize a 30:1 airless pump, a 3/8″ hose and a 21 tip
Recommended Thickness
3 mils Dry Film Thickness (DFT)
Drying Time
Approximately 1.5 hours at 70°F (21°C) and 50% RH
Curing Time
Approximately 24 hours at 70°F (21°C) and 50% RH
Clean up
Equipment may be cleaned with xylene or toluene while the CLEARCOAT 44 is still wet
Storage
Store in a dry area and protect from direct sunlight and freezing. Keep container tightly sealed. Shelf life is 1 year from date of manufacture when stored in a factory sealed container between 45ºF (7ºC) and 90ºF (32ºC).
Disposal
Waste disposal must be in accordance with existing federal, state and local environmental control laws. Incineration is the preferred method of disposal.
