DEKOLUX Glossy metal and wood enamel

DEKOLUX is a premium alkyd-urethane enamel for protecting primed wood and wood-based surfaces, metal and other substrates.

What urethane adds to alkyd

The urethane component makes the film far harder than plain alkyd. The coating takes mechanical load where an ordinary enamel wears through: machinery, equipment, handrails, gates. The declared protection is over 10 years.

Three hours instead of a day

A coat dries in 3 hours against 24 for alkyd PF-115. The second coat goes on once the first is fully dry, no sooner than 5 hours later, so two coats fit into one day. The film reaches full hardness after 7 days.

The most economical in the category

30–60 g/m² per coat is a third of what floor enamels use and half of EXTRAMAL PF-115.

Where it is used

Steelwork, agricultural machinery, freight vehicles, railway carriages: anywhere the coating has to take weather and wear and still look right. The enamel holds both its colour and its gloss instead of dulling in the first season.

Colour and thinning

A ready range of 14 shades, from cream and yellow to dark green and black, tintable with COLOR MIX pastes. Sheen: high gloss. Thinned with white spirit, solvent naphtha or a 1:1 mix of the two, no more than 10% by volume. Bare wood is primed with Drevozakhyst impregnant or drying oil, unprotected metal with DEKOMAL GF-021; let the primer dry at least 24 hours before the enamel. Blast-cleaned metal should be painted within 8–10 hours of cleaning. Apply 1–2 coats at air and substrate temperature of +5…+30 °C and relative humidity up to 60%. The enamel is flammable: ventilate and keep away from open flame. Shelf life 24 months.
