The new polyurethane topcoats are formulated with fast-drying
capabilities for a quicker re-coat time, which may contribute to
improving the efficiency in application over time. Tufcote LV HG
Polyurethane Topcoats are formulated at a volatile organic compound
(VOC) level of 0.8 lbs/gal (100 g/l), making it an environmentally
responsible choice. Its formulation also complies with requirements of
SCAQMD Rule 1113 for industrial maintenance coatings.
“Industrial maintenance structures are constructed to last and need a
tough, durable finish to complement its sturdy build,” said John Corry,
Axalta Product Director, Industrial North America. “We are excited to
add the Tufcote LV HG Polyurethane Topcoats to our growing line of
Tufcote economy products to help combat the impact of harsh environments
and expand the product technologies available to our customers.”
Tufcote LV HG Polyurethane Topcoats can be applied by brush, roller, or
spray application for use on properly prepared machinery, structural
steel, and other industrial applications. When mixed with Tufcote
MX-5599 Polyurethane Activator, the coating offers exceptional
durability and high-performance protection on ferrous metals, wood,
concrete, and painted surfaces.
