Asian Paints Aquadur Water Based PU Base Coat

Asian Paints WoodTech Aquadur Water Based PU Sealer is a technologically advanced, single-pack water-based sealer that functions as the essential base coat for the Aquadur PU wood finish system. It is formulated to prepare both interior and exterior wooden surfaces for the application of Aquadur PU Matt or Gloss topcoats.

The primary role of this sealer is to penetrate the wood, seal its natural porosity, and fill the microscopic wood grains. This creates a uniform, non-absorbent, and flawlessly smooth foundation. By doing so, it prevents the topcoat from sinking into the wood, ensuring a consistent and even final finish. Its excellent sanding properties allow for easy removal of any imperfections, which is critical for achieving a high-end, professional-quality result.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Excellent Sealing and Grain Filling: Effectively seals the pores and fills the grain of the wood, creating a smooth, uniform base and reducing the amount of topcoat required.
• Strong Adhesion: Promotes a powerful bond between the wooden substrate and the subsequent Aquadur PU topcoats, preventing issues like peeling or flaking and enhancing the system’s overall longevity.
• Easy Sanding: Formulated for superior sandability. It dries to a state that is easy to sand down with fine-grit sandpaper, allowing for the creation of an ultra-smooth surface, which is crucial for a premium finish.
• Quick Drying: Its water-based nature allows for a much faster drying time compared to conventional solvent-based sealers, significantly speeding up the overall coating process.
• Eco-Friendly and Low Odor: With a low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) content and virtually no odor, it is an environmentally responsible choice that improves indoor air quality during application.
• Clear, Non-Yellowing Film: Dries to a clear, transparent film that does not hide the natural beauty of the wood grain and is resistant to yellowing, preserving the wood’s original color.
