Choosing the right paint system
Choosing the right paint system
It’s important to choose the best system for your
requirements. A little time spent now could save costly
mistakes. For most applications we offer two types of
coating system: Single Component (Conventional) and Two
Component (High Performance).
SINGLE COMPONENT TWO COMPONENT
PROTECTION Good / Conventional Good / High
USAGE Easy to use. Use on
substrates where
movement is possible
such as clicker or carvel
hulls.
COMPATIBILITY Compatable to
both single and two
component system.
DURABILITY Good but less durable
than two componet
systems.
OVERCOATING A single component
system can overcoat
either a single or two
component system.
Some experience
needed. Consideration
to temperature and
overcoating times
required. Use where
movement of substrate
is minimal.
Only overcoat a two
component system with
another two component
system.
Generally twice as
durable as single
componet systems.
To overcoat with
a two component
system, remove single
component system
before applying two
componet system.
