TOPCOATS - AWLGRIP® & AWLCRAFT® 2000<br />
BEYOND JUST GOOD LOOKING<br />
Awlgrip manufactures two different topcoats to<br />
meet the needs of a dynamic market. The<br />
Awlgrip topcoat uses a polyester urethane<br />
resin, whilst Awlcraft 2000 uses an acrylic<br />
resin. The difference is molecular size.<br />
Polyester molecules are much smaller than<br />
acrylic molecules. A given volume of<br />
polyester resin contains many more<br />
molecules than the same volume of acrylic<br />
resin. Thus the polyester has more reaction<br />
sites than the acrylic. When both are fully<br />
crosslinked, the polyester forms a tighter,<br />
tougher film. The more dense crosslinking<br />
provides a harder, more abrasion resistant<br />
film, with better chemical resistance than the<br />
acrylic film.<br />
High crosslink density yields better chemical<br />
and abrasion resistance. It also yields a rigid<br />
film. In today’s marketplace there is a need<br />
for both acrylic and polyester urethane<br />
technology. Both resins will resist staining<br />
and provide long lasting gloss.<br />
Application characteristics, chemical and stain<br />
resistance, repairability, and cure times all<br />
need to be considered when choosing a<br />
urethane.<br />
Polyester Urethane Topcoat<br />
• High performance urethane topcoat systems.<br />
• Recognized world-wide for 30 years.<br />
• Full product range of coating systems for all substrates.<br />
• Can be applied by spray or brush/roll.<br />
• Premium acrylic urethane topcoat.<br />
• Superior flow-out and high gloss.<br />
• Ease of application.<br />
Acrylic Urethane Topcoat<br />
TOPCOAT SYSTEMS CARE ABOVE THE WATERLINE<br />
HOW THEY WORK<br />
Crosslinked, two component polyurethanes<br />
dry when the solvent evaporates. Then they<br />
cure as the components react to form the<br />
urethane molecule. The more crosslinks, the<br />
more durable the final finish. But keep in<br />
mind, a longer cure time is needed for the<br />
coatings to reach this durable, final finish.<br />
Coatings with a relatively long cure time<br />
allow the pigments to migrate toward the<br />
substrate. A resin-rich wear layer forms,<br />
much like the clear urethane film on a<br />
“no wax” floor.<br />
This resin-rich layer provides long term<br />
protection for the pigment particles, improves<br />
color and gloss retention, and provides the<br />
deep gloss associated with high quality<br />
urethanes.<br />
THERE’S A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH<br />
Be cautioned however! Choose the topcoat<br />
you require for your project first, then<br />
investigate the primer system to support the<br />
topcoat performance. AWLGRIP offers a<br />
complete line of chemically compatible<br />
primers, fairing compounds and surfacers<br />
to support its topcoats.<br />

Wash Down Concentrate FIBERGLASS, -73234 GELCOAT, COMPOSITE, & WOOD<br />
An effective detergent for cleaning, yet still gentle enough for frequent use on AWLGRIP and AWLCRAFT 2000.<br />
AWLWASH has been extensively tested in AWLGRIP’s laboratories and in the harsh yacht environment.<br />
