CLEARCOAT FP
Tough, Flexible, Transparent Protective Topcoat for Long-Lasting Color & Surface Preservation
CLEARCOAT FP is a high-performance, two-component transparent coating designed to protect and extend the life of underlying basecoats. Engineered for durability, flexibility, and long-term surface stability, it forms a seamless protective barrier that resists environmental degradation while preserving the appearance and integrity of coated surfaces.
Formulated through the reaction of a fluoropolymer resin and a polyurethane hardener, CLEARCOAT FP delivers exceptional toughness and elasticity. Once cured, it creates a durable, transparent film that resists UV penetration, oxidation, corrosion, and free radical infiltration—helping maintain color vibrancy and surface performance over time.
Ideal as a protective finish coat, CLEARCOAT FP enhances system longevity while maintaining original aesthetics, gloss, and texture across a wide range of applications.

CLEARCOAT FP Application Guide
Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of loose particles, grease, oil, or any contaminants that could interfere with proper adhesion.
Application
Empty the CLEARCOAT FP Hardener into the CLEARCOAT FP Resin and mix thoroughly for a minimum of 3 minutes. Allow the mixture to stand for approximately 10 minutes, or until entrapped air has dissipated.
CLEARCOAT FP may be applied over compatible coatings such as POLAFLOOR AC, provided the underlying surface has cured for at least 24 hours. When applying over previously painted surfaces, verify compatibility, as some coatings may bleed color.
Apply using a brush or airless spray in a thin, even coat. Avoid overworking the material to prevent foaming or trapping air bubbles, which may lead to pinholes or hazing.
For enhanced traction, broadcast iron-free, sharp white quartz sand or AsperGrit® Plastic Granules into the wet coating. After the first coat has dried with the embedded aggregate, apply a second coat to fully encapsulate the material.
Spray Application
Use a 30:1 airless pump with a 3/8″ moisture-resistant hose and a 19–21 tip size.
Recommended Thickness
2–3 mils dry film thickness (DFT) per coat.
Drying Time
Approximately 1 hour at 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity.
Curing Time
Approximately 24 hours at 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity.
Clean-Up
Clean tools and equipment with water before the material begins to cure.
Limitations
- Do not apply at temperatures below 40°F (4°C).
- Do not apply if the area cannot be protected from precipitation for at least 4 hours.
- Shelf life is approximately 12 months when stored in original containers between 45°F (7°C) and 95°F (35°C).
Safety Information
Read the product label and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to use for important health and safety information.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
